This part looks correct, I think. Basically, I consider the "inline" property of drupal_add_js() to be almost a bug, not a feature. Don't use it if you can possibly avoid it. > Not sure whether the second drupal_add_js call should be of type module > or inline at this point. The contents of my js file are 'module' is correct, because you're adding a .js file from a module. > //<script type="text/javascript" > src="http://www.mydomain.com/mystuff.js";></script> > $(function() { > var settings = Drupal.settings.mymodule; > myfunction(settings.name,settings.total); > }); You don't want that first line at all. That's only if you're putting it in the HTML directly. If it's just in a JS file you do not want it. > I commented out the reference to the other js file within my .js file > for now. I guess I'll need to handle it with another drupal_add_js call. Correct. <script> tags don't work within JS files.

Sounds like it's time to fire up Firebug and see where the Javascript is failing. --Larry Garfield
