[Javascript] Loading Problem

[Tim Makins]

Thanks Hakan, but all is OK now, for Internet Explorer at least. The phrase
'script loader' hadn't occured to me, but when you mentioned it, (clap clap
clap) I tried it as a search term on Google, and came up with some ideas
that got me to try the following:


if (sel_table > 0) {// has a table been selected ?
var file_names = ["","state", "uscount1", "uscount2", "uscount3"];
var url = 'gaz/table_'+ file_names[sel_table] +'.js';
document.write('<script src="', url, '" type="text/JavaScript"><\/script>');
}


It won't work as a called-function once the page has been loaded, but if I
include it in the head and let it run through whilst the page is being
loaded, it works fine. Maybe one of our cross-browser experts could comment
on whether it will work outside of IE - at the moment my test page only
works on IE !!
