using onclick() to call remote .js file?

I have a remote .js file that I want to call with an onclick() event handler. Is this possible or am I wasting my time?

 

In the header, put

<script src="http://yoursite.com/remote.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

- or are you saying that when the page loads you don't know which .js file you'll need?

 

Hm... I've never tried this. I would just do a simple hello world function that you know works and try it.

But make sure you try it in all the browsers. There were changes since IE 6 SP1 that disabled a lot of the remote scripting capabilites for security reasons.

 

I'm saying that I want to call a remote .js file when I click on a link or button.

 

travisbishop, your question still doesn't make sense. a javascript file cannot be "called".

do you want to include a javascript file dynamically?
or do you want to call a function defined in a javascript file in a remote server?

if it's the latter, it's not possible. the browser needs to download the script before it can do anything with it.

 

It's the latter. Thanks anyway for the help. Now I know what I need to do.
