How to call javascript function

Hello friends,

I m creating a toolbar for Firefox browser which contains some buttons on it.
and i have written event handlers for these button click events into a .JS file.
When user will open a our web site in browser and when i we see source
code for this web page then we find that it has included with another .js file which contains many functions. for example this Js file looks like:

<script language="javascript" src="Javascripts/ToolBar.js"></script>



Now i want to call these functions from my toolbar .JS file. How can i call it.

If i call directly to that function then it gives error to me that function is not defined .

PLz help me

thanks in advance.....

That's not the way to include a JS file in another JS file. Insead, try a function like the following:

function include_dom(script_filename) {
    var html_doc = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
    var js = document.createElement('script');
    js.setAttribute('language', 'javascript');
    js.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
    js.setAttribute('src', script_filename);
    html_doc.appendChild(js);
    return false;
}

Code (markup):

And use in the other JS file like this:

include_dom( "Javascripts/ToolBar.js" );

Open the Javascript Console (Tools menu) and you will see all JS errors.

Well, maybe I was wrong when I didn't put it LOUD and CLEAR that the full URL is required ...

include_dom( "http://www.your-site.com/Javascripts/ToolBar.js" );

This solution is definitely DOM-compliant BTW
