I am getting an error on my portlet after following the tutorial in the Rati
onal Application Developer V6 and Portal Tools book.

In my JSP file, as advised, I wrote a function, but appended a tag to refer 
to the name space in the javascript like so:

function "portlet:namespace/"func_1(thisObj, thisEvent) {
document.forms['view"portlet:namespace/":form1'].submit();
return false;
}

This might be difficult to read. I have replaced the tag brackets around por
tlet:namespace with " because this forum strips out tags like that on posts.

I always get a javascript error when trying to display the portlet saying a 
'(' is expected on the line:

function "portlet:namespace/"func_1(thisObj, thisEvent) {

The portlet will never render either on the test environment.  If I cut the 
javascript from my JSP page, it will render with no error. And if I cut the 
"portlet:namespace/", it renders without javascript error.

I have never gotten javascript to run properly. What is the right way to hav
e it run on a portlet page? What is wrong with the code above?

I am using JSR 168.

You have to use the right tag...

function <portlet:encodeNamespace value="func_1"/>(thisObj, thisEvent)
 {
..your code...
}

Success!
