<script type="text/javascript">
var date=new Date(),
sScript='<script type="text/javascript" src="js'+date.getHours()+'.js"><\/script>';
alert(sScript); // Created script
</script>

24 hours a day, 24 scripts naming js[1-24].js.

If it's 9am, then script will be js9.js

Hello
Thank you very much!

How can I do this with only 4 predefined times? 00.00 - 6.00, 6.00 - 12.00 , 12.00 - 18.00, 18.00 - 24. 00

thx

<script type="text/javascript">
var date=new Date(),
hrs=date.getHours(),js='',sScript='';
// If 12am-6am - source equates to "jsfirst.js"
// If 7am-12pm - source equates to "jssecond.js"
// If 12pm-6pm - source equates to "jsthird.js"
// If it's 6pm and beyond, but don't reach 12am, then source equates to "jsfourth.js"
js=(hrs>=0&&hrs<=6)?'first':(hrs>6&&hrs<=12)?'second':(hrs>12&&hrs<=18)?'third':'fourth';
sScript='<script type="text/javascript" src="js'+js+'.js"><\/script>';
alert(sScript); // Created script
</script>

First shift (12am - 6am): jsfirst.js
Second Shift (7am - 12): jssecond.js
Third Shift (12-6pm): jsthird.js
Last Shift (6pm-11pm): jsfourth.js

Hi

Hmmm I can't get it to work. Maybe I didn't understand it right. I get only the alert, no javascript is loaded.

Can you help pls?

Yes, the script only alerts the created test file.

If you want to create, change this part:

sScript='<script type="text/javascript" src="js'+js+'.js"><\/script>';
alert(sScript); // Created script

into:

var script=document.createElement('script');
script.type='text/javascript';
script.setAttribute('src','js'+js+'.js');
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

Hope that helps.

Hi, thx for your reply

Now the script loads allways the jsfirst.js, no matter what time it is.

sry, i need more help.

Thx

It's working fine at my end, ensure to refresh your page right after you change your time.

Hi

Yes, now it works! Just a last question: If i want to have the included scripts in sub directory, "scripts" where i must change the code?

Thx very much

Add highlighted on this part:

script.setAttribute('src','scripts/js'+js+'.js');
