hello there i am having trouble getting this script to work:

index.html

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function includescript(sourcefile){
var scriptNode = document.createElement('script');
scriptNode.type = 'text/javascript';
scriptNode.src = sourcefile; 
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(scriptNode);
}
onload=function(){includescript('main.js')}
</script>
</head>
<body>
	<div id="login">loading...</div>
</body>
</html>

main.js

Code:

includescript('functions.js');

if (document.getElementById('login')){
document.getElementById('login').innerHTML = '<script type="text\/javascript" src="loginform.js"><\/script>';
}else{
alert('You must create a login div!');		
}

loginform.js

Code:

document.write('it works!');

the problem is that main.js does not include functions.js OR change the login div to display it works!....

Why not just link to the .js files normally?:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="functions.js"></script>

i need them to load after the divs loaded so i can use getElementById to write the data.

Can you put your code into a function and call it when the window loads?

Code:

window.onload = function() {
     document.getElementById('login').innerHTML = "It works!";
}

This code does teh same thing your code above does... is that all you want to do is write to a div? Just to do that, your script is over-complicated.

no, the script is going to be very large when its done so i wanted to split it up into multiple files, and that way it could be customized easier also..

nvm i got it..
