Turns out that the problems I was having were similar to my earlier problems loading amber in dev, which is to say that I need the line:
<script src="codetalker.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
in the <body> section rather than in <head>.
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but if it might be, here are more details about the error I get on loading, which is:
Uncaught Type Error: can not read property 'canHaveChildren' of undefined.
I used this to build the js file:
../bin/amberc -d Canvas.st Codetalkers.st codetalker
(I don't know why I had to add Canvas explicitly but it didn't get added otherwise).
then I added manually
smalltalkReady = function() {
smalltalk.CTCodeTalkers._open();
}
I put it near the end of my js file, just before init. Also put it on the last line before it gets used in
if(this.smalltalkReady) {
this.smalltalkReady();
}
I get the same error either way.
The error occurs right in my _open(). The actual line is marked below with >>>.
smalltalk.addMethod(
unescape('_open'),
smalltalk.method({
selector: unescape('open'),
category: 'initialize',
fn: function (){
var self=this;
>>> smalltalk.send(smalltalk.send(self, "_new", []), "_appendToJQuery_", [smalltalk.send("body", "_asJQuery", [])]);
return self;},
args: [],
source: unescape('open%0A%09self%20new%20appendToJQuery%3A%20%27body%27%20asJQuery.'),
messageSends: ["appendToJQuery:", "new", "asJQuery"],
referencedClasses: []
}),
smalltalk.CTCodeTalkers.klass);
That's it. Again, it works fine if I load my amber code in the <body> but not if it's in <head>.
Cheers.

loadAmber is in js/amber.js and takes care of loading files for you.
However, if you don't use it, you can call your function like this:
smalltalkReady = function() {
//Do anything you want here
}
All you have to make sure is that you define this before loading amber
(it will be called in init.js).
HTH,
