Combining JavaScript calls via one file

    The sites I run have multiple JavaScript files called in from multiple domains. If these JavaScripts come from third parties (like mysite.com, lib.mysite.com, Google, Yahoo, Power Reviews, MyBuys, etc) is there any way to minimize the number of calls?

    Are they dynamic or will they never change?

    If they do change, we'd have to cut and past code into the page or into an include file.

    Why not save the .js files locally, then just use a PHP script that combines them into a giant one

    Well, I thought about that but since a lot of it would be like this, I think it would still be making all those calls:

    <script type="text/javascript"

    Code (markup):
