[jQuery] Re: $.getScript() - how to load into JSON formatted object?

[jquertil]

they thanks for the reply. I don't fully understand what the
parameters in this line do exactly. why is variable in 'quotation'
marks?

fn = new Function( 'variable', code );

thanks!

OK, try this. It's the same idea as the code I posted before:

var blah = {
dynaLoad : function( variable ) {
$.get( 'alert.js', function( code ) {
var fn = new Function( 'variable', code );
fn( variable );
});
},
somethingElse : ''
};

blah.dynaLoad('cool beans');

thanks for the answer Mike. I probably wasn't very clear.

I'm trying to make the loading happen as part of
blah.something(variable).

something kinda like this:

var blah ={
   dynaLoad : function(variable){
  $.getScript('alert.js',variable) // the script would simply
contain the line "alert(variable);"
   },
   somethingElse : ''
}

blah.dynaLoad('cool beans'); // this would now produce a "cool beans"
alertbox.

This is all from the same domain, so you don't have cross-domain issues,
right?

I just tried this code, and it works nicely:

$.get( 'alert.js', function( code ) {
var blah = {
something : new Function( 'variable', code ),
something_else : 'hello'
};

blah.something('whatsup'); // 'whatsup'
});

alert.js contains the one line:

alert(variable);

BTW, in case it's of interest, the file extension doesn't have to be .js for
this code to work, since it's just loading it as a text file.

[jQuery] Re: $.getScript() - how to load into JSON formatted object?

[jquertil]

i should be more clear: I made it work but I can't pass variables to
my external snippet:

this works:

alert.js contains "alert(variable);"

something : function(){
   $.getScript('alert.js');
}

but this does not work:
---
alert.js contains "alert(variable);"

something : function(variable){
   $.getScript('alert.js');
}
