global functions

[ggalan]

is it possible to call a function from a different JS file?
lets say in my header i have 2 different files, can i call a function that resides in "main_2.js" from 'main_1.js'
?


<script type="text/javascript" src="js/main_1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/main_2.js"></script>

In a word, YES,

e.g I have an AJAX formpost script, and a form fieldcheck(sanitizer)
script, when a user submits the form it calls a function from the fieldcheck
script and if it passes the check it then calls a function from the formpost script to process the form!

Cheers!

just make sure the file the function is in is already loaded before the other script calls it.
