HELP!!!

I know how to call a javascript file using <script src:filename.js>. I really to call a javascript file depending on value of a variable. Please give me the code sample. Thanks a bunch.

In my HTML or Javascript code:

Let say the variable call count
The pseudo code: if (count == 1) {call help1.js}
if (count == 2) {call help2.js}
if (count == 3) {call help3.js}

Thanks a bunch.

You don't &quot;call&quot; JS files, you load them, then call the functions within them. Once a web page is completely loaded, you can't add any more external JS files to it, just call the functions that are already loaded. There's a way to conditionally load different JS files (though many - or maybe all - AOL browsers choke on this, from what I've encountered), but this doesn't look like what you want to do. Show some code from your page so we can get an idea of what you're trying to accomplish.

you could try if this is a server side variable :

<script src=&quot;script<%= integer %>&quot;></script>

if you are in a normal html page in the head :

<script>
var xyz = 'whatever';
document.write(&quot;<script src='script&quot; + xyz + &quot;.js'></script>&quot;)
</script>

Hope this helps.

I don't understand why you need to call more than one js page, why not...
<script>
function 1()
{your function here}
function 2()
{your function here}
function 3()
{your function here}

function whereToGo()
{
var variable1 = &quot;WhatEverYouAreChecking&quot;
if(variable1 == 1)
{
function1()
}
else if (variable1 == 2)
{
function2()
}
else if (variable1 == 3)
{
function3()
}
else
{alert(&quot;You made an invalid selection&quot;)
}
}
</script>
<html>
<WhereEverYouWant onload=&quot;whereToGo()&quot;>
</html>


whether this in the actual html page or the js page shouldn't matter, then you have one js page that does everything which I think is basically what trollacious said.

in reality I have no idea what you are trying to do so take my post with a grain of salt.
