Importing scripts

[Brett Foster]

Is there a way to 'include' javascript at runtime?

I'm targeting most recent browsers in general, but at worst I'm looking
for IE/Moz solutions.

Yes. This is the include statement:

<script type="text/javascript" src="debugminco mmon.js"></script>

The name of the inlude file is specified by the src parameter. You do
not put a script header in the inluded file. The path is the normal
html path.

Hate to reply to my own thread but after even more searching...

Here's one solution using IFrames and/or adding JS script tags to the dom.

http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/loadingExternalData.html

if( document.create Element && document.childN odes ) {
var scriptElem = document.create Element('script ');
scriptElem.setA ttribute('src', 'someNewUrl.js' );
scriptElem.setA ttribute('type' ,'text/javascript');
document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'head')[0].appendChild(sc riptElem);
}

Well it does work... not so friendly to look at, but it works.
