Calling Javascript not in head

**itivae** · 04-07-2012, 02:41 PM

I am hoping someone might be able to offer their thoughts on a problem I have. I need to call a javascript that should reside in the head of the page. Unfortunately I am locked into only being able to build mods. This means no <head> access. Is there a way to dock the script somewhere else and then call it in the mod? Any solutions or ideas would be helpful.

Thanks.

Code:

<script src="my_script.js"></script>
<script> var A = new my_script(); </script>

works fine. However,

Code:

<script> var A = new my_script(); </script>
<script src="my_script.js"></script>

won't - your "my_script" hasn't loaded yet when you try to use it.

So, to answer your question, "maybe." Couldn't say without knowing the specifics of your situation.

Thanks for the response. You always seem to be the one to answer my noob questions traq, so thanks for that

I basically have an html mod that I need to put a jquery call or another javascript call into. However reading the installation instructions, they all say "insert call in the head of the doc." Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but can I call head javascripts from the body instead?
