switching .js files dynamically

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hey everybody – new here. I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it’s possible to set up a javascript that can choose which .js external file to load for a given page based on a query string in the URL?

I already have the function that strips the data out of the string. I just need to know if you can choose between .js files.

TIA!

here is an asp example.

<head>

<%

dim bob: bob = request.querystring("bob")

if bob<>"" then

response.write "<javascript1>"

else

response.write "<javascript2>"

end if

%>

</head>

Anyway, let's assume for the sake of our little project that we can't use anything like ASP. Like, for instance, if our client wants to run this thing off a CD-R.

That means that everything has to be executable by a browser. Any ideas?

function includescript(sourcefile){

var scriptNode = document.createElement('script');

scriptNode.type = 'text/javascript';

scriptNode.src = sourcefile;

document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(scriptNode);

}

onload=function(){includescript(whatever the script name is)}

</script>
