JavaScript Tags

multiple external scripts called from 1 tag?

[keyplyr]

Can multiple external JavaScripts, including one with a different lang type, be called from inside one tag? In other words, can this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="/scripts/script1.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/script2.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="/scripts/script3.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/script4"></script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"
src="/scripts/script5.js"></script>

... be written something like:

<script type="text/javascript"
language="JavaScript"
src="/scripts/script1.js" ;
src="/scripts/script2.js" ;
src="/scripts/script3.js" ;
src="/scripts/script4.js" ;
language="JavaScript1.2"
src="/scripts/script5.js"></script>

and if so, can it be even more concise?

No. One source (SRC) attribute per tag only.

To combine javascripts, put all of the javascript into a single .js file.

Alternately you can 'fudge' it by creating a javascript to write in all the other javascript tags.

Terrific,

How would I seperate the scripts if they were all on the one external file?

[Black Knight]

If they use the same language and version, there is no need to separate them at all, just define all the functions for all the scripts in one single big bite.

In other words, paste the contents of each .JS file, one after the other, into a single .JS file.

To fudge it just use one external JavaScript that uses the write() method to write-in all the other JavaScript calls

e.g.

document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="scripts/script1.js"> </SCRIPT>');
document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="scripts/script2.js"> </SCRIPT>');
document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="scripts/script3.js"> </SCRIPT>');
document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="scripts/script4.js"> </SCRIPT>');

That's working just fine Black_Knight
Thanks again

Glad to have been of help.
