Can't access function inside dynamically added script source

[sylver]

Hi,

Following the discussion that can be found here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....9da813c8527282

I modified mine and was trying to launch an alert message inside the
dynamically added script [data.js].

My sample codes
=============== =============== =============== ===
[data.js]

var remoteValue = 'Blah blah';
alert('File loaded... ' + remoteValue);

function alertME()
{
alert('alertME in data.js');
}
[HTML]

<a href="#" onclick="addScr ipt('data.js'); ">START</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
var x = 'im blank';
alert(x);
function addButton()
{
var oButton = document.create Element('input' );
oButton.value = 'Add script element';
oButton.setAttr ibute("onclick" , "alertME(); ");
oButton.type = 'button';
document.body.a ppendChild(oBut ton);
}

function getValues(x)
{
alert(x); // Shows 'removeValue'
setTimeout('ale rt('+x+')',0); // Shows 'Blah blah'
}

function addScript(uri)
{
var oScript = document.create Element('script ');
oScript.src = uri;
//var head = document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'head')[0];
//head.appendChil d(oScript);
document.body.a ppendChild(oScr ipt); //-head or body, both works
in Firefox 2.0.0.4

addButton();
}
</script>

The alert messages for 'x' appeared correctly. But Firebug return this
error: alertME is not defined, and 'alertME in data.js' never appear.

Is this a limitation in Javascript? Or Did I miss out on something
important?

Your suggestion are trully appreciated.
Thanks.

try this instead

oButton.onclick = function() {alertME();};

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried that line of code before and strangely, it didn't work.
That's why I replaced it with oButton.setAttr ibute("onclick" ,
"alertME(); ");

The above code does actually work. I missplaced the correct "data.js"
inside another folder. After placing it inside the correct folder, it
works like a charm.

Thanks for your time.
