js include

[timmytots]

I'm sorry guys but I can't find a decent js include tutorial on google. Can somebody help me or give me code of how to use them for menus that you might want to change? Thanks.

If you mean you want to have your menu html in a seperate file and included it on each of your pages, this has nothing to do with javascript.

This is a server side function.

You need to be using something like a php include or ssi (server side include) code.

ok, i'll take your word for it, but other people have suggested js include.

thanks

wahey! hold up matey...

Please be a bit more specific than "js include". What are you trying to include? JS code or HTML or both?
If a server side include will add loads of JS script to your page then that's not the way to go...

To "include" a client-side JS script file you should use:
<script src="blah-di-blah.js" etc...

I want to be able to change a constant site-wide menu, just by changing one file, so that I don't have to change it on each and every page.

Capiche?

Well, the point I'm getting at is:

Your menu: is it hard coded HTML or do you have a javascript which dynamically populates the menu?

If the menu is created on the client (ie.: JScript dynamically generates HTML) then you need to use:
<script src="blah-di-blah.js" etc...
(PS.: You shouldn't use JScript for this)

If not, just got ahead and use server side includes...

I was just making sure
