Include JavaScript file inside JavaScript file?

I know that one can link to external javascript files with html code akin to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://external.com/code.js"></script>

Is there a way to do this within a javascript (.js) file?

Answer 1

Create a script element and append it to the DOM. That should load your other script.

var newScript = document.createElement("script");
newScript.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
newScript.setAttribute("src","http://external.com/code.js");
body.appendChild(newScript);
