    file1:
    <script>
    
    function include(destination) {
    var e=window.document.createElement('script');
    e.setAttribute('src',destination);
    window.document.body.appendChild(e);
    }
    </script><body onLoad="include('some-other-file.html');">
    Code (markup):
    some-other-file.html:
    alert('hi');

    you should see a box :)

    Um, there's no include() function in Javascript.
    discoverclips is correct.

    Also, remember to always use the type attribute on script elements ("text/javascript").

    It was my mistake, I didn't realize that include isn't the Javascript function. Actually what we are doing is that we are using a customized function described below:

    
    function include(filename)
    {
    	var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    	
    	script = document.createElement('script');
    	script.src = filename;
    	script.type = 'text/javascript';
    	
    	head.appendChild(script)
    }
    
    Code (markup):
    This function is defined in a file jsHandler.js and we include this file in all our pages at the top. once this file is included you can use include("abc.js"); any where you want.

    Thanks for notifying and I apologize for not providing complete information.
    Let me know if you guys have any problem in using it.

    This might interest you (copy and paste URL to your browser):

    It's not bullet-proof, sometimes it doesn't work for some reason, but it's worth a try.
