Hello everyone

This may be a silly question.
Is there a way to run a .js file ie call a .js file from another folder from inside a javascript function?

for eg..can I do this -->

function callJsFile()
{
 //call a .js file and execute the code in it at //src="../js/somejavascript.js"
}

There are a few options depending on how you are running the first file.

• You can create an instance of WSCript.Shell and use its Run method to call CScript MyFile.js. This is unlikely to work in a browser as WScript.Shell is not safe for scripting:
  
  Code:

  var oShell = new AactiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
  oShell.Run("myFile.js", 1, true);

  (You'll need to look at the documentation for the methods full syntax.
• You can switch to a wsf format, this allows multiple files within one main file, including different languages, this is what I use for most serious scripts
• You can host within a web page, include the second file and just call whichever functions you need

As I said you need to define your calling environment.
