Pass vars to JavaScript via the SRC attribute

rated 0 times [ 150] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 16957 / 15 Years ago, fri, june 19, 2009, 12:00:00

In my HTML file I have linked to the JS with:

src=myscript.js?config=true

Can my JS directly read the value of this var like this?

alert (config);

This does not work, and the FireFox Error Console says config is not defined. How do I read the vars passed via the src attribute in the JS file? Is it this simple?

<script>

var config=true;

</script>

<script src=myscript.js></script>

You can't pass variables to JS the way you tried. SCRIPT tag does not create a Window object (which has a query string), and it is not server side code.
