Answer 1

I suggest this:

<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/jquery.js') }}" type="text/javascript">
</script>

Answer 2

I was trying to call a FLASK route when a button is pressed. It should collect the response and update a div. The page should not reload.

I used jquery to do this.

Here's the code:

@app.route('/<name>')
def getContent(name):
    return 'This is %s' % name

HTML:

    <div id="mySpace" class="my-3">Count</div>

    <button id="next_id" class="btn btn-primary">Press</button>

    <script>
        $('#next_id').click(function (){
            $.get('/aroy', function(data, status){
            $('#mySpace').html(data);
        });
        });
    </script>
