Question

is there anyway to load other JS files from within a single JS file. I would like to point my individual pages “ITS” js file and that js file would load jquery, other js files.

I know i can just pop all these into the html i.e.

I was thinking of separations of concerns so i was wondering if anything exists already without me reinventing the wheel….

That i would just need to edit home.js to change what other js (jquery etc) are loaded for home.htm … home.htm would just point to home.js

Thanks

You can take a look at dynamic script loading. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'helper.js';
head.appendChild(script);
