[javascript] include JS script

ive been searching for a bit and i cant get a straight answer

you know with php in html you can tell it to include whatever.php thus lowering the HTML size
my question is can i do the same with javascript?

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_script.asp

Just make use of the 'src' attribute of the script tag.

eg

Code:

---

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="script/rc.js"></script>

---

That would include the script rc.js from the script folder.

Hope that helps, although im sure you've probably read all this on the w3schools site posted above :)

I don't undertsnad. You mean like C's 'include' preprocessor function?

Kind'a, the difference being that javascript can be included anywhere in the script and there isn't a seperate preprocesser handling it :smile:

I tend to do the same with PHP, write the PHP equivalent of a header file that contains includes to all the files required and call that file once in my index.
