Hi there,
I wanna know if there is any way to implement onChange etc statement, which is not function, but code, written in an external file like:
onChange=<script type=”text/javascript” src=”external.js”></script>

[CODE]onChange=<script type=”text/javascript” src=”external.js”></script>[/CODE]

so onChange me to get the result of that external.js executed?

Why not just define a function in external.js and execute that "onChange"?

1) I want to avoid using AJAX, because I can not get it working in IE.

2) Why not just define a function in external.js and execute that "onChange"? [/QUOTE]
Because external.js is using the ACD (AJAX CROSS DOMAIN) technology to do the task which AJAX can not, and return me the result. If you are familiar with ACD you must know that the content of external.js is written not in JavaScript, but in Perl and it just can be called from outside like external Javascript file ?

That's irrelevant. It may be a Perl script, but it has to generates JavaScript to be used by the browser. Or any other client side language, but I presume JavaScript is the one.

Declan is right. You can still generate your Javascript by server side scripting in whatever language you choose and include it the normal way. It still has to be javascript for javascript to use it.
