Actually, there is no function you can call to include a JavaScript file within another one. This is the bad news.
The good news is that you can use a trick to accomplish this task. Suppose you have two JavaScript files,
say file1.js
and file2.js
. You want to include file1.js
within file2.js
because you want to use file1’s functions.
Here is the code you can use:
//this is file2.js
document.write("<script src='file1.js' type='text/javascript'></script>");
// here you can use functions defined in file1.js
As you can see it suffices “to write” in the browser the code you generally use to include a JavaScript file within an HTML file and you’re done!
