I working on rebuilding my CMS software using AJAX, and have run into
a couple problems I cant seem to find the solution to.
I am loading up a new component of my system using the Ajax.Updater,
and it loads up the HTML fine but as the component I am loading up is
fairly complicated I want to load up its relevant javascript
functions as well at the same time.
I am using the evalScript:true option, and somthing simple like alert
("foobar") gets triggered in my loaded code, but if I try to define a
function and then try to call it like
function myalert(txt)
{
alert(txt)
}
myalert("foobar")
It wont get called.
But if I move myallert() into my main page I can call the function
from the code loaded by Ajax.Update
I would much prefer to have my javascript loaded dynamically with
each different component as needed instead of having to load up
everything when the app is originally loaded.
I tryed including the JS code directly in the code returned by
Ajax.Updater as well as linking to it with:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/path/to/my_new_script.js"></script>
No love.
My second problem is probably related.
I am using Behaviour.js and would like to have my code loaded by
Ajax.Updater register new rules. Again I have to define them in the
main app, but even worse, if the element the rule is applied to does
not exist in the app in its initial state, the rule doesn''t take.
Any how, I am sure there is a simple solution to this so your help is
appreciated!

Well, for inserting a js file after the page is rendered, you have to do
it with the DOM. But, according to notes in scriptaculous.js, this does
not work in Safari. The way you tried to do it, by putting the src in
your script tag, simply won''t work (evalScripts strips out the script
tags and evals what''s inside).
You could try this:
var myalert = function(txt) { alert(txt); };
Then see if you can call it afterwards. I imagine it would work fine,
but I''m not speaking from experience on that :-)

Re: Ajax.Updater and loading new javascript functions.
Ryan, this I like this solution, as I would much prefer my JS to be in external .js files. assigning the functions to variables also worked great so I heve a few options Thanks!
