How do I call a MATLAB Script using javascript?

Hi there,

So I'm trying to set up a webpage to run a MATLAB Script. I have been trying to follow the steps from http://blogs.mathworks.com/community/2009/06/22/interactive-web-pages-in-matlab-part-4/ using matlab:COMMAND and I created a script in MATLAB named mainGUI and I called it using matlab:mainGUI.

When I try to run the script, I get the error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: mainGUI is not defined
    at <anonymous>:2:8
    at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:895:140)
    at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:828:34)
    at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:694:21)

Am I using the matlab:COMMAND wrongly?

Thanks, Austin

• Make sure mainGUI is a MATLAB function and not just a script
• Make sure mainGUI is in the current folder or MATLAB's search path

Hi Dasharath Gulvady,

Thank you for answering my question.

My mainGUI is a function and it is in the current folder.

Is it possible to link me a guide of sorts?

Thank you!
