Hello!

So I'm quite new to JS and mainly focused on css and html prior to taking on JS coding.

I am designing a webstore that relies on a pre-scripted file called "SimpleCart(js)", and the file is very well in good. However, as the items to be sold will be available overseas, shipping costs will vary according to user distances.

Now currently the user will select their country and it will set a cookie to tell the cart the shipping cost, but I was wondering if it was possible to load a differenct JS file according to the users location (IP address) - using an IP locating script.

So for example:
if the user is from America, load Amercia.js
else
if the user is from Australia, load Australia.js
else
if the user is from... etc.

What varies, is the shipping calculation for each location, while the actual content is the same.

But I would like to know if there is an easy way to load another JS file from within a script?

Thank you,
Mark

Please check out this site, it has your answer.

May be you shall use this script

<script type="text/javascript">
  // plain JavaScript example
  function jsonpCallback(data) { 
    alert('Latitude: ' + data.latitude + 
          '\nLongitude: ' + data.longitude + 
          '\nCountry: ' + data.address.country); 
  }
</script>
<script src="http://api.wipmania.com/jsonp?callback=jsonpCallback"
        type="text/javascript"></script>

And based on the country, you load the respective js file.

Hello!

Thank you for the replies, and apologise for my delayed turn around.

Now, stbuchok your website seems difficult for my level. Sorry.


phpdasan your method seems easy so much so that I don't know how to implement it.

I know it's probably easy work, but JS isn't my strong point. I was wondering if it was possible to set the files in an array? The '[i]' thing, and call them using that? I'm not sure if you can, but I know you can use it for images.

Also is it possible to do this:
var EN=US,AUS,GB
var AS=KOR,JAP,GB

if location is equal to EN run eng.js,
else
if country is equal to AS run asia.js ... etc.

So in that respect, make the countries in the certain category all equal one variable, and then if the script detects it as a variable that has been defined run the script..

I'm just throwing around ideas, but would love if somebody could shed some light :]
