Pass vars to JavaScript via the SRC attribute
html, javascript, src, url, variables
Solution
<script>
var config=true;
</script>
<script src="myscript.js"></script>
You can't pass variables to JS the way you tried. SCRIPT tag does not create a Window object (which has a query string), and it is not server side code.
Problem
In my HTML file I have linked to the JS with: ``` src="myscript.js?config=true" ``` Can my JS directly read the value of this var like this? ``` alert (config); ``` This does not work, and the FireFox Error Console says "config is not defined". How do I read the vars passed via the src attribute in the JS file? Is it this simple?
