[Javascript] Including Files

[Walter Torres]

Thanks for the heads up on this Dave.

Never thought to do that, nor check it.

Just did, and your right, can not backtrack, but current and sub-directory
paths work fine.

But also note, the path is relative to the calling HTML file, *not* the
"master" js file!

Thanks

Walter
