Windows server - external javascript?
Hello!
It's been a long time since I've been here!!
I'm working on a website and I'm trying to see if I can include and execute a javascript file hosted on another server on my server instead of on the client. Can this be done? Here's what I'm trying
news.asp:
<script runat=server language=javascript src=http://www.news4sites.com/service/newsfeed.php?tech=js&id=397></script>
etc...
I'm guessing that you aren't allowed to do that on a Windows (or other?) server?
I have javascript that runs on other .asp pages.
Thanks!

You can load javascript from any place that allows you to.
http://www.news4sites.com/service/newsfeed.php?tech=js&id=397 is available for browsing.
<script src=http://www.news4sites.com/service/newsfeed.php?tech=js&id=397></script><script type="text/javascript">
... you're missing this part that actually displays the data acquired by the first script.
</script>
Of course, one wonders why you wouldn't use the asp option...
Anyway, it's always better to ask the people providing the feed on how to implement it.

I don't believe so.
You might look into downloading the file in a sheduled job (I think that is windows equivalent to cron jobs?). Then you should be able to runat=server on your localhost.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Hi
Thanks, Suzanne, I found out about the alternate method of getting the feed later in the day. For other services/scripts, downloading them periodically to the server sounds like a good solution!
Thank you both!
