How to call external function defined in microsoft jscript

How to call external function defined in microsoft jscript

• Peter Schmitz

  If there is no mechanism in the host you are using, the only other possible solution, though a bit of a hack, is to read the second file into a string and then eval it. This may not work depending on the security settings if the host locks down the engine to prevent execution of unsafe code.
  
  e.g.
  var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
  var HomePage_Server_Code = fso.OpenTextFile("HomePage__Server.js").ReadAll();
  eval(HomePage_Server_Code);

  The host that runs the scripts will determine what other scripts are available.
  For WSH, you can use a WSF file to import the script. e.g. Save to callhi.wsf and run.
  <job>
  <script language="jscript" src="hi.js"/>
  <script language="jscript">
  hi();
  </script>
  </job>

  Thank Rok Yu,
  I knew this solution with WSH.
  My question is how they can do without using WSH.
  
  See the common.js in which the function Common_GetTopPosition( elem, fStopOnAbsolute ) is defined.

  And how is HomePage__SERVER.js being run What's hosting it As Rok Yu says, there is no way from inside JavaScript to "import" an external .js file, the solution is necessarily host-specific.
