Javascript Reload external Files

2 New Member

I am very new using javascript and I faced a problem that with my expertise I cannot solve.
I wrote a small html file that handle a vertical menu. I wrote a function to show the menu correctly using javascript. The contents of the menu are dynamic changed. In my project I have two javascript file: the first has all the functions to handle the menu and the second has just a JSON array with the information for the menu.
Example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var mv =

[

["1","F&oacute;rum"],

["11","Aberto","http://labadm.metodista.br/MP.exe/mp?si=49179&w=3&p1=1&p2=172"],

["12","Pessoal","http://labadm.metodista.br/MP.exe/mp?si=49179&w=3&p1=1&p2=173"],

["2","Consulta"],

["21","Enviar E-mail","mailto:monocomltd.1305@macpenn.com.br"],

["3","Caso"],

["4","Sair do experimento"]

];

(the language here is Portuguese)

I load the two js files in my html in the static way (the first with the functions and the second with the data):
[HTML]<head>
.
.
.
<script type="text/javascript" src="ms_js/mp_mm.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ms_js/mp_mm_d.js"></script>
</head>
[/HTML]
I also run the menu function in the body section:
[HTML]<body onload="menu(mv ,0),menu(mh,1)" >[/HTML]

I wanted to change the menu information dynamically changing only the js data file as the user click in a link (this is a test project only), instead of running all page again, for this action I am using two function I could found here http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatut...criptcss.shtml.

The main function use parentNode.repl aceChild to replace the mp_mm_d.js file (that has only a JSON var inside) when the user click the link:

[HTML]<a href="javascrip t:replacejscssf ile('ms_js/mp_mm_d.js', 'ms_js/mp_mm_d1.js', 'js')">Troca Menu</a>
[/HTML]
To run the menu function I include in the main function above a call to my menu constructor: menu(mv,0)

The mp_mm_d1.js is identical the older file mp_mm_d.js the the var mv contents (the name of the variable is the same but the contents).

Everything works fine, I mean: the mp_mm_d.js file was replaced by mp_mm_d1.js file and I got any error in the process, but the variable contents include in the mp_mm_d1.js was not loaded or not changed in the process.
I tried a lot of things to make this running well without success.
It seems that the browser do not reload the replaced file changing the variable as requested, or I am misunderstandin g the whole process.
Is there a way to reload the js file in order to use the new variable information?

Thank you for reading this and hope to get an answer soon.

Welcome to TSDN!

Have you inspected the DOM after replacing that it has indeed been replaced?

Dear friends, I had already solved the problem! The key was to check the complete reload before continuing the process. Thanks all!
