[thelist] JavaScript Array and Split

[Christie Mason]

I can't put anything into the existing external files, or am I
misunderstanding your advice?  I'm thinking I'm lost at how I read the cData
array in external1.js into a second file and then split and output within
that second file.

Christie,

You could wrap the code that reads out/splits the array into a function, and
call that function from the external file.

Example:

main.js:

function doSomething(cData)
{
    // split and output cData
}

external1.js:

var cData = new Array();
cData[0] = '' // whatever

doSomething(cData);


HTH,
Rick.
