Multiple script (for JS) tag in DCT

Hi,
The FormAPI doc tells that we can use multiple script tag under ruleset of DCT, which enables us to use multple javascript files.

In my case we have 2 javascripts kept at the level of DCT. but only one is able to invoke. The second one doesn't invoked at all.
First javascript is having the functions for browsers. and the second one is for calendar.
As it was failing I created 2 small JS which had only init() function which is alerting a message. But out of these 2 only one was invoking each time which is mentioned at the last in ruleset of DCT.
Why this is happening? Any clue?

Is there any external configuration required to execute multiple JS?

Bothe the JS are in running condition if tried indivisually.

Thanks,
Parag

I don't think there's any problem with invoking multiple JS files. Did you check the permissions of each file? There might be some small mistake. Try to change order. Delete both files and imort them again. It might solve your problem.

Thanks Ambuj for quick reply.

Tried with changing the order but only the last one invokes at a time.
Both the files are created in TeamSite by me only. So no issue with the permissions.

Any other clue?

Can attach your js files and also your dct as how you are calling it. As already mentioned there is no issues in including js files and doesn't matter the order. Only difference it can make is if you have write some code which runs on the load of DCT (remember js is the first thing which get executed on load of html page).

Java Script does not maintain name Space for libraries. Therefore, you can not have identically named functions coming
from different sources. Rename your init's (and perhaps other functions?) to init0, init1 or something like that and
invoke them accordingly

Bo likely hit the target but I will add one more point, you cannot (or at least in previous instances of TS, I have not tried now) trigger multiple functions off of the same event. If you have 2 onSave events being trapped, only 1 function will be called.

I use 2-3 different js includes all the time, that is never an issue.

Thanks alot!!!

Both the JS had a init function associated with onFormInit event that was the problem.

Now solved.

Thanks again.
