Hi bop That is probably a very inefficient way of doing it. I would guess that nearly all of the JS that you use on your site is common ie 90% of what you use on the site would be needed on each page that uses JS. It would make much more sense to put all of that JS into a single file, minified, and with a long expiry date. And then include the few lines of custom JS in a separate request, or even inline in the page itself. regards Clint > > -bop > > On Oct 21, 2007, at 11:26 PM, Andrew Wyllie wrote: > > > > > Maybe I wasn't really very clear.
