Cannot read ext src array

ku_coyote

I have an external file, TestVar.js with a single line.
NewsA("This is a test.","test.pdf","TEST")

Within my HTML I wish to use the array variables from TestVar.js, but
can't seem to get them loaded for use. The following is what I have,
but doesn't work. If I directly place the NewsA array in the script
instead of trying to call it from the js it works just the way I want
it, but I really need the external file. What am I doing wrong?

*************

Start of test 1
<div style="text-align: center;"><font color="#ff0000">
<script language="javascript">
var NewsA=new Array();
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="TestVar.js"
language="javascript"><font color="#ff0000">
var NewsText = NewsA[0];
var NewsPath = NewsA[1];
var NewsLink = NewsA[2];
document.write(NewsText);document.write(" <a href =
"+NewsPath+">"+NewsLink+"</a>")</script><br>
</font>
</div>
End of Test 1

You cannot mix JavaScript import instructions with inline ones. Change
to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="TestVar.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var NewsText = NewsA[0];
var NewsPath = NewsA[1];
var NewsLink = NewsA[2];
//...
</script>

As you don't have any guarantees that NewA array will arrive by the
time you address it, the really reliable solution would be:

<script type="text/javascript" src="TestVar.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init() {
var NewsText = NewsA[0];
var NewsPath = NewsA[1];
var NewsLink = NewsA[2];
//...
}
window.onload = init;
</script>

shouldn't the function go around the loading of TestVar.js instead of
the assigning variables?

OK,
I have tried the script as VK wrote. It comes back with printing
undefined on the web page. Any other ideas?

The other weird thing that happens is it also causes "A Runtime Error
has occurred. Do you wish to Debug? Line:1 Error: Object expected"

Line 1 is <html>. What is this about? Possibly Line 1 of the js file?

In addition to what VK has told you, fix that one line
so that it is an array assignment, rather than a function
call to an undefined function.

NewsA=["This is a test.","test.pdf","TEST"];

or some variation of that.

Thanks, That got it. I was thinking that that was how to set up an
array, but I see now what was happening. Thank to all
