This is 100% untested, I'm just playing it from memory here. I think you can do this:

var new_js = document.createElement("script");
new_js.src="dhtmllib.js";

[chris9902]

if i post the files can you post a HTML example on how to add that

[David Harrison]

I'll give it a go, but could you try to strip away as much of the irrelevant code as possible.

[chris9902]

i really don't no what is and is not important

if i post the .js file could you help me make it so it does this sort of thing :: http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13917

[chris9902]

if you look at the HTML file it is quite big but i want that script to be loaded like::


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