I have 3 External scripts, how do I keep them all running? 2

[DBSSP]

I have 3 external javascript files with various functions. I need to know how to keep them all running. It seems the last script accessed is considered the "current" script and the other 2 are shutdown. How do I stop this? Jay

make sure all names of functions are different. You cannot have the same names of variables and functions in all three seperate js files. Gary

They are all different...most of the variables are the same though...Perhaps I should go down to one main source file and pass variables? If so, how can I do that from buttons?

I.E. User clicks one of 3 buttons, that button should contain varibale information for title, file, & autoclose = True or False. It should call the function in the script and pass all of these variables to the script. Jay

warning complicated things ahead.

DBSSP, keep it simple sailor (KISS).

Try to see if there aren't simpler ways of dealing with your problem.

Why are there three js files? Could they be better organised into one? Does your naming convention really work? Gary

I checked some things out and I can actually go from 1 file the other 2 were test files...(I didn't know they all were the same thing with variables and all..delete). Sorry about that.

So I'll be calling the same function from each the 3 buttons, each one will just have different values to pass to the same variables in the main file.

click button
pass variables for this button to external script
call function in script
pop up window opens with correct page

Is that a little bit better? It certainly took a load off my mind, although I'm still not out of the woods yet! Jay

sounds better the less code you have the less bugs and crap you have in there (it's a law of programming).

Okay, I had to do alot of tweaking, but here it is (I tried to get it as simple as I could). The bold areas are the variables that get changed depending on which button is clicked, and, of course, the single function. I've named the file popcalc.js
Thank you for your help thus far!

I'm trying everything and coming up very empty-empty handed. Anybody? Jay
