Rails spinoffs - Dec 2007 - Prototype and Javascript

Hi
I''m newbie with prototype.
I have this question.
I use the Ajax function  (Ajax.Updater with evalScripts:true) to load
a view in a div.
Now in this view I would load an external javascript file and use it
inside the view.
But when I use a function defined inside the javascript file I get an
error : "the function is not defined"
Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks
Marco

Check the documentation at <http://prototypejs.org/api/ajax/updater>;
it describes how to declare functions in external files if you want
them to work with Ajax.Updater.

In a nutshell, though, you want to do this...

coolFunc = function() {
  // contents
}

... instead of this ...

function coolFunc() {
  // contents
}

Hope that helps.
