yui has a Get utility that accomplishes this, but similar things are possible via jquery or handcoded js -- it involves creating a script element in the page head with an appropriate src attribute. This is necessary imho because the way weblocks loads js code for dependencies does not always mesh well with how external widgets expect to work. YMMV, but that was my experience with simile.mit.edu and google maps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weblocks" group.
