Calling functions from other pages

@AngelicKnightMar 15.2004

How do I write script on one page so that it calls a function that exists on an entirely different page? For example, I am currently building a webring, so I need to figure out how I can place buttons on a webring member’s webpage so that it will call javascript functions from the page on which the webring itself exits on.

@steelersfan88Mar 15.2004 — #you can't ... the best oiption would be to include the function in a javascript (.js) file and include:

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

And then you can call the function from multiple pages.

@AngelicKnightauthorMar 16.2004 — #Thanks, that worked!

@Stephen_PhilbinMar 16.2004 — #I'm rather new to this javascript business. That's the first I've heard of a .js file.

Can ya pop a link up for me so I can go and learn about it please? Sounds like just the thing I need for a nightmare in code form I'm having at the mo'.

@TheBearMayMar 16.2004 — #A .js file is simply a file with a collection of Javascript functions or variables, but without the <script></script> tags. You include the file by using the <script src="...> in your document.

@JayDieMar 16.2004 — #now I got another problem. I've got a main.asp page. It includes this .js file. Then, in a function of main.asp, there is a showModalDialog. So, there is a new window. In this window, I want to use the functions of the .js, so I include in the new window (showModalDialog loads a .html). But...

When you use variables in that .js file, you can modify them for example by executing a function which changes the variable.

Now, I want to access this changed variable in my modaldialog. Because of I include there the .js, IT IS A NEW .JS with the standard variables, who are NOT changed!

By showModalDialog, I can't use 'window.opener'. I know, I must use dialogArguments. But, isn't there another way?
