Query string to a external javascript file

anujrathi · November 3rd, 2006, 10:16 PM

Hi experts,

When we write JavaScript in an external .js file, then in the "src" Tag, Can we pass any query string variable instead of calling Function ?
If Yes, then Can we pass different query string variables in different places in the same page depending on the situation that which Value we have to pass in the Query String . In this situation, we will have to write whole "src" tag.

Its urgent,
Regards,
Anuj

Hi

Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but rather that trying to use querystring, simply declare a public variable in the external javascript file, and then assign values to this variable from any part of your page. Just try this example below:

//CODE FOR YOUR EXTERNAL FILE (can be SimpleJS.js)

//Public variable
var strValue;

//Test function
function TestValue()
{
    alert(strValue);
}

On a test page, you can try this code:
<script language=javascript src=SimpleJS.js type=text/javascript></script>

    <script>
        function Test1()
        {
            strValue = "Testing First";
            TestValue();
        }

        function Test2()
        {
            strValue = "Testing Second";
            TestValue();
        }

    </script>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form id="TestJS" method="post" runat="server">
    <input type=button value=First onclick=Test1()><br>
    <input type=button value=Second onclick=Test2()>
     </form>

  </body>

Do let me know if you need more clarification or I have diverted from your query.
