I have a form field that subclasses ComplexTableField. I am including a javascript file in the constructor of the field, and I can see that the include is showing in the html source when the admin section is loaded, but it does not seem to be firing! Even if I only put an alert into the javascript file, nothing shows, unless I do a reload of the admin section.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Cheers,

Sorry for the bump, but I am having a similar issue but in a different context.

I basically have a dropdownlist with some javascript included, but this doesn't seem to be included into the admin section on the first load of the admin section.

Anyone have any ideas?

I am having the exact same issue when helping Uncle Cheese with the DatePickerField.
If I reload a page with a DatePickerField on then all the correct javascript code gets loaded.

I can see that other fields like the Calendar field get all their requirements loaded even though I'm on a page which doesn't have one so there must be something more that needs to be done than using Requirements::javascript().

Could someone help us please?

Bumping this since this is preventing me (and others I guess) from creating our own fields and using them in the CMS.

Like I said in the previous post, the requirements of my fields only get loaded if I reload the page they are used on, not if the page is loaded via AJAX. I have checked the other field types that SilverStripe uses and they don't have any other special code as far as I can see. They all use Requirements:: and they get their stuff loaded correctly.

Could one of the developers (or if someone else knows) please tell us the secret?
