IT uses an additional .js

Hi,

is there a way to integrate an additional js-file without editing the header.

A look at for example the category-extension a special js-file is stored in the extension folder. But how is this integrated in the wiki?

regards mic

Ok,

but I#m wondering in which way the category tree extension integrates the additional js-file, which is stored in the extension folder.

Without changing anything at the wiki (without localsettings?)

(function(){ var s = document.createElement('script'); s.src = "http://path/to/external/file.js"; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s); })();

This will dynamically create the equivalent of this:

<script src="http://path/to/external/file.js"></script>

To your the document head.

IIRC, According to a comment in the scriptalicious code, Safari 2 won't work with this, so you have to use the bad old document.write instead.

Haven't tested it myself.

A lot of the js problems in Safari 2 are much better in Safari 3, but I believe that's still beta and has other beta issues. It's my main browser these days.

Yeah, I see what you mean. That's too bad :(

Well, I guess the most compatible way to do it then is this:

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src=" http://path/to/external/file.js"></script>');

I'm fairly certain that such an inclusion follows standard browser caching rules. I've seen this behavior from Ajax requests as well. Browsers tend to cache JS and CSS files pretty heavily, even (in my experience) those that are added to the DOM dynamically or requested via XHR's.

Jim,

Does this method bypasses the browser's cache?

In other words, if one visits site X containing this code multiple times, does the browser use its cache to serve the file?

thanks, jld.
