js file help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 15.2004

Hope I’m asking in the right place, and hope I ask the correct way… thanks

ok, I”m using a js and calling it to the html page. Problem is, I’m wanting to take one of the variable OUT of the js file and put it directly onto the webpage that’s calling the js file.

Not sure really how to explain this, but I set up an example of what I’m doing/want to do here;

[url]http://www.rhtubs.com/test1/test.htm[/url]

the tag <script src=”topmsg.js”></script> calls the script, BUT I want to take the first “var” (variable) OUT of the js file and add it to the html of the page. This would allow me to use the one js file throughout my site, but have minor differences from one web page to another.

Thank you so much!

@PittimannMay 15.2004 — Hi!

Just define your variable in a script tag appearing above the one calling the js file:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

var myFirstVar='blahblah';

//-->

</script>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="topmsg.js"></script>

Cheers - Pit

lakers01, yours seems to work fine if put in the body of the html, any problem with that (there's a little less coding in your version)?

Understood....... Still have the question, can I put your code in the BODY rather than the HEAD (it works in my browser, not sure of the "rules" though for other browsers).


HEY! I REALLY appreciate your help. Thank you.
