Why can't I access method in Script Include

[dalton1]

Hi,

I have a script include and catalog client script that instantiates and access the script include. Problem is, it does not return the value.

Script Include

==========

var acn_catalogClientScripts = Class.create();

acn_catalogClientScripts.prototype = {

      initialize: function() {

            this.errorMessage = "";

      },

  sampleFunction: function(){

  return "SampleAnswer!";

  },

      type: 'acn_catalogClientScripts'

};

Catalog client script

=================

var validation = new gacn_catalogClientScripts();

var validation_result = validation.sampleFunction();

g_form.addErrorMessage("Value is " + validation_result);

validation_result does not return anything. Please help. Do I really have to use GlidAjax for this? As per my understanding, accessing script include can be done this way.

Update*

var validation = new acn_catalogClientScripts();

To Call a Script include from a client script you have to use GlideAjax .   Also Script include should be client callable .

GlideAjax - ServiceNow Wiki

But reading this article, I can access the script include without the GlideAjax

Yes   , You could do that if the calling statement is in Server side. Means you could call a script include directly from another script include , Business Rule , ACL Scripts or ny other server script but Client Scripts runs on Browser and   in there you cannot call it in this way   .. .,..   you have to use GlideAjax.
