    Is there any way to include a javascript from a javascript?

    In Synchronet, use load().

    I'm looking for something similar to Synchronet's js load function
    or like a C #include.

    I've been gogglin' but a lot of them tend to be embedded in html.

    So... are you asking about JavaScript for a web browser or something?
    That question should go in "Programming". This sub is for Synchronet-specific JS questions.


    Alrighty, I am asking about Javascript used for scripting like in
    Synchronet. So if you didn't have a spiffy load() function, is there
    anything else besides SOL?

    Thanks,

    Mindless Automaton

    There's no facility in "core Javascript", no. In Synchronet, you have load().

    If you are wanting to do this in a javascript file included from HTML, it is doable...

    you can insert via DOM... but this doesn't work in safari (as of 2.0) ...
    your best bet is to use document.write...

    document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="..."></script>');

    note: for some browsers, if your output type is text/xhtml or similar, as opposed to html then including javascript via document.write won't work either....

    Usually I have a script that adds necessary css, and script tags into the page's <head> tag... this way it will add based on browser, and os specifics..

    site.css
    site.(win|non-win).css
    site.browser.css
    site.browser.maj.css
    site.browser.maj.minor.css

    pagename.css
    ...

    same for javascript.. this way I can do very fine grained css fixes, say for site.IE.6.css or site.IE.7.0.css etc... I can also change the font sizes in the site.non-win.css, since windows renders fonts larger than other OSes do (for some kind of funky reasons)... in any case, try the document.write to generate your script tag, as that should work best... it's how scriptaculous does it...

    Unfortunately, its not included from HTML or it'd be easy. :) Its a
    program that uses javascript for the scripting language like Synchronet
    does, but without the nifty load() function. :(

    Open the disk file, read the contents into a variable, and eval() the variable.

    Do you have filesystem access? if so, you can read in the file, then eval() on it... note: sometimes the scope of an eval statement can get weird, so write all your encludes so they are encapsulated, and only do the load/eval from the root of your main script..
