Ajax Includes Script - external instead of in Head?

Ajax Includes Script.

Hi. I was wondering, would it be possible to use the Ajax Includes Script
as an external file instead of it being repeated in the Head of each page?

Of course.

Heh, thanks. Maybe I should have added... how?

I've spent a couple of hours experimenting with it but without any luck.

Just put the bit it says to paste into a seperate file - let's call it "ajax.js" - and include it where you would normally paste the script with the tag:

Code:

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

This assumes that "ajax.js" is in the same directory as the page, of course.

Hmm, the files I'm experimenting with are...

Index.html
Template.html
ajax.js

...and they're all in the same directory. With the full script in the Head of the Index page it works great, but when the script is removed and replaced with a link to the external file the contents of the Template page are no longer included.

That's strange... have you checked it's being included properly?
Run

Code:

javascript:window.alert(typeof ajaxinclude == "function" ? "Script was included properly." : "Script wasn't included!");

in the address bar of your browser whilst viewing your page.

That returns "Script wasn't included". It could just be that I'm overlooking something obvious.

I think it may be. Can you paste all your <head> section here (in [code] tags, please)?

**Andrew** · 11-23-2005, 08:45 PM

Certainly...

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Testpage</TITLE>

<script src="ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  
</HEAD>

Viewed online, it gives an error:

Line: 33
Char: 13
Error: Object Expected
Code: 0

Hm... nothing wrong there. You say it's live? Would you mind linking?
