Passing params to JS file implemented inside a php file

[vdfvdfv]

Hi Guys,
I have a dynamic JS file created by a php file
I call this script using:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mysite.com/jsfile.php?
keyword=xxx"></script>
Is it possible to somehow change the keyword xxx using javascript?
(i.e. create it dynamically)
Thanks

Yes. And how you do it depends on what you are trying to do.

Are you wanting to simply reload that file with a different keyword,
without reloading the page, or something else?

Suppose I want to get the page title and pass it as a param.
Is it possible?
Thanks

For some reason, I think I have already said/asked that before.

Hi Randy,
I don't need to reload anything, I will have this js/php code in
several webpages (code= <script type="text/javascript" src="http://
www.mysite.com/jsfile.php?keyword=xxx"></script> )
In each webpage I want to take the page title, do some string
processing in a local javascript function, then pass it as a param to
the js/php script
i.e. I want the parameter keyword to be dynamic, instead of being XXX.
It is obvious how i can implement it with PHP/ASP, but not with
javascript.
Any help would be appreciated

Since you have PHP available to you, use it.


That is easier done in PHP than in JS.


Two ways:

1) Load that file dynamically instead of hard coding it.
2) Pass the parameter to a function in the file and then act on it.

I don't have PHP available to me, since there are things I can only
know on the client side using javascript (like client browser height/
width)

i cannot know the final params until after the page was loaded so I
have to somehow set the params using javascript.

When you're saying I should load the php file (which contains the JS
code) dynamically you mean I should use ajax or is there another way
to do it?

Re-write your PHP generated JS file to handle them after the page loads.
Short of that, dynamically create the SCRIPT element and load it after
the page loads. Search the archives for loadJSFile and start reading.


No, not some buzzword like AJAX. Use a more reliable method. Search for
my name and "loadJSFile" in the archives. You can find out how to load a
JS File - dynamically - after the page has finished loading.

Googling that as we speak.
Thank you.
