Nowadays we use javascript heavily.
IE supports run-time javascript file handling!!!!!
FF does not.
Example:
--------------------------------------------------------
//runtime_example.js
var langcode = navigator.systemLanguage;
var str = <scr'+'ipt language="javascript" src=" data_' + langcode + '.js"></scr'+'ipt>';
document.writeln(str);
--------------------------------------------------------
//runtime_example.html - works sometime or not.
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" src="runtime_example.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript" >
// Body javascript
// some javascript using data_xx.js
</script>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------
IE and FF both load "data_xx.js" file.
But IE and FF both do not support this program.
Because as soon as they compile the javascript in Header without loading "data_xx.js" file completely, they excute the javascript in Body.
Now there is a solution for iE
--------------------------------------------------------
//runtime_example.html - works perfect.
<html>
<head>
<script language="JScript.Encode" src="runtime_example.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript" >
// Body javascript
// some javascript using data_xx.js
</script>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------
if we use language as "JScript.Encode", IE compiles the javascript in Header and completely load the file "data_xx.js".
Then they process the javascript in Body!!!
This makes IE handle Javascript file in run-time!!!
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
This function makes programming very simple and speedy.
1 We do not need to connect the server.
2 We need only one HTML file instead of lots of ASP or PHP files.
