I use to load javascript files on the fly using a **synchronous** connection (using XMLHttpRequest)
sUrl="http://example.com/scriptftoload.js";; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); if ( typeof xmlhttp.overrideMimeType != 'undefined') { xmlhttp.overrideMimeType('text/xml'); } } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } else { alert('Perhaps your browser does not support xmlhttprequests?'); } xmlhttp.open('GET', sUrl, false); xmlhttp.send(null); eval (xmlhttp.responseText); //some call to the loaded code Also, you can create a new <script> node an append it to the head section sUrl="http://example.com/scriptftoload.js";; var script = document.createElement("script"); script.src=sUrl; script.type="text/javascript"; script.charset="utf-8" document.childNodes [0].getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script); Beware of the fact that this request is made asynchronously, so you can't expect to use the code loaded inmediately -- Pablo Viojo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pviojo.net On 5/25/07, John - PostalService <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The Head helper is non existant.
