    Hello all,

    I'm trying to pass "bg_color" as a parameter into an external .js or javascript file.

    Example:

    <script type='text/javascript'>
var bg_color = '#6666FF'
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www2.domainname.com/file/file.js'></script>
    HTML:
    This is the code I tryed in the JavaScript file but it will only pick up colors on the file itself and not from where I want it to take the values from being 

    var bg_color = '#6666FF'
    HTML:
    The code I have is this one, is there anything that I have missed out to make the function work?

    (function(){
document.write("<body bgcolor= "+ bg_color + ", ");
})()
    HTML:
    Chris

    You didn't call your function

    I didn't really understand what you said, but... Yes you can pass as a parameter to an external javascript file.

    Exemple:


    <script type='text/javascript'>
bg_color = '#6666FF'
</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='javascript.js'></script>
    HTML:
    javascript.js
    function writeBg(){
	document.write(bg_color);
} 
writeBg();
    HTML:
    This is how adsense, statcounter, ewebcounter work...
