Hi

I have an external .js file to my webpaage. Can i change the value of these
variables from my htm page, so that they are changed for good.

ie - i know this wont work, but it is an example.

externalFile.js
-------------
var alpha = "This is some text"
frontend.htm
--------------
<form name="changer" method="get" action="externa lFile.js">
<input name="alpha" type="text" id="alpha" value="this is some new text that
will completely replace the old text in the file">
</form>

That requires server-side scripting (e.g., PHP or ASP).

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

Is there any method whereby I can call only one external JS file using a single <scripttag, but have that external JS file insert into ITSELF the contents of five others? Something like: /*start external.js*/
