javascript import

[Stu Johns]

Hi, I have 2 javascript files
test1.js and test2.js
I want to call a function in test1.js from a function in test2.js
So i need to do something similar to a java import.
Can this be achieved?

thanks

Stu.

it's easy to call a function from another function
for example function a() from 1.js want call function x() from 2.js
OK look
code for a():

function a(){
          alert("I want call x() method from 2.js");
          var R=x();
          document.write("result of x() method is "+R);
}

and code for x():

function x(){
         var e=prompt("set a result to pass to method a()","ArAsh");
         return e;
}

so as you see calling methods(functions) not so hard

and about link(import) 1.js and 2.js to document
it's as easy as ABC
just in your head add these guys

<script type="text/javascript" src="somewhere/somefolder/1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="somewhere/somefolder/2.js"></script>

Once both files are included in the page, they all become part of the same scope.

If you are not sure that a file is added you can do a simple check

if(typeof foo !== "undefined"){ alert("nope"); }

and you can add it in with document.createElement
