Including multiple javascript files in one?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 19.2005

I need to update a large 1,000+ page site with additional js files on every page. I had to do this recently already and it is a very time consuming process since all pages have to go back through Sourcesafe and QA.

Is there a way to have one javascript include file in the header that calls all of the other javascript files?

thanks

@A1ien51May 19.2005 — best thing would be to use a server side include....

You could have a js file that writes out the other js files onto the page, but I see that as been messy.

You could also jus have one big js file with all the functions...

I was afraid that placing a SSI in the header would keep my pages from validating and wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking a simple js fix. It sounds like the easiest fix though.

I'm not quite sure if eslaydon's question was answered, at least not to me ? .

Is it possible to call multiple javascript files with only one javascript file?? If so, how would the code look like?

Your guys' discussion seems to imply that this isn't the best way of doing things but I would like to know if it's possible of doing it using one javascript file.

@Tweak4Jun 24.2005 — You could declare the new js file from inside one of the existing ones using a document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='whatever.js'></script>"). It's not really [I]generally accepted[/I], but it'll work in a pinch, and you'd only have to make the change in one place. I wouldn't consider it a permanant solution, but if you're in a hurry, it would at least buy you a little time to go through and set up something better...

That's pretty much what I needed ?

Success!
