How Do i get multiple Javascripts working on 1 page?

Ok heres the question, written by a noob..hopefully generating answers for many noobs.

A lot of blocks use javascript to perform 'animations' or 'scrolls'

So you add your shoutbox for example. Then your clock stops working. So you turn it off, then your clock works fine, but then you add snow for a christmas feel, and your shoutbox stops working.
I saw on Nukecops someone (possibbly Evaders99) post that you could incorporate the .js scripts into your javascript.php

But how? and where?

personally i tried saving the .js for the blocks as seperate files and putting them in the /includes folder, then using an include "includes/shoutbox.js" blah blah at the relevant line in the mainfile script.
Doesnt work

So how do we do it?

You can write <sc~ript> tags that reference distinct javascript files. Where you might be running into trouble is if the javascript files conflict with each other. Maybe one of your blocks generates an HTML element with a certain ID, and you have identical or similar javascript trying to manipulate that same ID.

yeh thats what foxxed me, i took a look at it but obviously thats written in php and we need javascript. so effectively u are asking one language to use another.

Well, not sure what you mean. In some Javascript files I've seen, they hardcode HTML elements. You can simply change that and the PHP code so they don't conflict with other scripts on the same page. You can also make PHP code generate Javascript and ensure uniqueness that way. So one language can use another.

get rid of all those very outdated document.onload and window.onload freaks.

Fix the d*** scripts to addEventListener() and attachEvent() then they all work on the same page.

find inside your scripts

Code:

*.onload=functionname

replace with

Code:

/* xbrowser add event listener */


if (window.addEventListener) {


   window.addEventListener('load', functionname, false);


} else if (window.attachEvent) {


   window.attachEvent('onload', functionname);


} else {


//   alert("Could not attach event to element.");


}

that's it
