More than one external javascript file

[prizm]

Is it possible to associate more than one external javascript file to a single page? If so, when calling a function within one of the files would you use the file name extension?

yes
e.g.
<script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bar.js"></script>

no, they are included as if they were written on the same page. you reference them by their name, and all function names must be unique.
e.g.
if foo.js contains method foo() and bar.js contains method bar(), you simply call foo() or bar()

Make sure you don't have variables or functions in one of the files that are named the same as variables or functions within the other. This would cause a conflict, and could lead to very ambiguous results, or code not working at all.

Hope this helps,
