Brent,
Looking forward to the add-on. I think loading the common script can be done by
simply adding another script reference to your .XML files:
...
<script src="addons/googlespell/test.js"></script>
<script><![CDATA[
googlespell_test( 'hey dude' ); // <-- in test.js
function googlespell(q)
{
...
You _should_ be able to stick the external <script/> reference in all of your
add-on .XML files. (I just checked in a change to loader.js to only load once
instance of a script if there are multiple references to the same script file.)
But, it doesn't solve the problem of loading multiple XML files from your add-on
directory. I'll give you CVS access so you can check in your changes. Welcome!
Glenn
