I've got some questions about using an external javascript file,
included via '<script type="text/javascript" src="mycode.js" ></
script>':
(1) If I define a function "myFunction ()" in the original HTML file,
and reference it by "onMouseDown='m yFunction();'" in a tag, it works.
But if I move the myFunction() definition to an external javascript
file, Firefox tells me "myFunction is not defined". Why is this, and
how can I be able to define functions in an external file?
(2) Why do some people put "(function( ) {" at the very top of an
external javascript file, and "}) ()" at the very bottom? What does
this do, exactly - what's the benefit?
(3) I've seen some people do that when they define class methods in an
external javascript file, like "myClass.myMeth od = function(blah)
{ ... }", and then after they include this in the main HTML file they
then define myClass. But if I include this JavaScript file that uses
myClass before I define myClass, Firefox gives me errors saying that
myClass is undefined. What are people doing to be able to include a
file that uses a class before the class is defined?
Thanks in advance for any advice! 1 3315

Usually the problem is the path to the file is bad. Try checking the
case of the file name, and make sure the file is there and can be read
by the browser.

This is a popular method of defining a function and calling it at the
same time. Very useful for implementing things like singleton patterns
in js.

You need to defined the class before you use it. - but maybe they are
'using' it in other functions that aren't being called until after the
class is defined? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
I want to load an external javascript file, get its results and stick
them inside a <div> block. I also
want to do this in several places on a web page.
This way the browser doesn't have to wait for the external resource to
load to show up the page,
thus giving a perceiving faster load time for the user.

My exeternal JS works fine when the call is placed in the page head or

But if I call the same javascript from a (clicked) text link on the

Help! I can't figure this out.
The external JS file is "members.js". Here's the code:

I have been struggling with a cross browser solution to loading

I have been successful using the following code in IE6:

I'm *sure* this has to be a FAQ and I see discussions of this in the
clj archives, but I don't see the answer. Perhaps someone here can
point the clueless, but...
1. I create an HTML document that validates at w3c
2. I use:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="dashboard.js" ></script>

Dear Group
I have a very frustrating problem. I have been trying to make it more
difficult to access external javascript files by using PHP sessions.
This works beautifully locally (both in IE6 and IE7) and online in IE7,
but frustratingly, online in IE6, the javascript does not render on the
page, unless you refresh the page.
Is there something different about the way IE6 handles sessions? Why

Hello.
I'm using Prototype's Updater class to refresh sections of a page. Is
there a way to include an external javascript files in the updated
content; i.e., have a javascript tag with src attribute? Can't seem to
get this to work.
Also, if there is a way, will the browser cache any dynamically loaded
scripts?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
