Question

Writing an application for a custom gallery, and all the script files are put in a resource folder inside each gallery folder-

is it possible to have a variable enabled that would prevent the page from loading its local JavaScript files but instead load from the main page’s resource folder? trying to avoid having to hard-code it as well.

esentially all i really want is for my script files to be able to have a variable starting path- IE

(script src="(path)load.js" type="text/javascript")(/script)

where path is either blank “” or main main site- “http://www.site.com/resources/”

some of the files are CSS files so im not sure the class method would work well-
also- is there a way to refer to the root of a site? similar to using ../ but just to get the root html path.

More Info—–

The layout i have is that each gallery made is a separate folder- (for example, photography, painting, drawings, etc- would all be separate folders). They each would contain their own resources withing their folder. this is so i can just upload 1 gallery to a site and everything would be packaged nicely. But- if im running multiple gallery on one site- as with a portfolio site, each page is loading its own set of resources, which is probably not a great idea.

The resources are – thumbnails, images, xml( which are all specific to individual gallery) but then they also each have a couple javascript files for functions, a css file, and a few images that make the gallery maneuverable(arrows and the like).

I just want to be able to have the scripts which are loaded in the header- load from the root site resource folder if there are multiple gallerys

Answer 1

you can put all the code under a single class name e.g. Mydata.yourvariable

and then check ..

if (Mydata) { //your script has already been loaded }

it’s similar to what jQuery does with $
