JavaScript File Includes

Please be advised that pages that load our standard Javascript files individually should be converted to using FileIncluderJS.aspx (present since v4.4).

This has two benefits:

1. for the customer; this means that you will be able to make use of the concatenated and compressed files that FileIncluderJS.aspx loads, thus improving your page load times
2. for Astun; it means that we can change the code around and alter the way it is loaded without having to ask you to change your pages.

The only two script elements needed to include our JS should be:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib/prototype-1.6.0.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="FileIncluderJS.aspx"></script>

To then load the appropriate scripts for a page use something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
  Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
    Astun.JS.IncludeJS(NAME, CALLBACKFUNCTION);
  });
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
	Event.observe( window, 'load', function(){
		Astun.JS.IncludeJS('logger',pageLoad);
	});

Where CALLBACKFUNCTION is the name of a function to call once the scripts have finished loading and NAME is a string must be one of the following:

"logger" - Logger

"gis" - iShare GIS pages v5.0+

"intranet" - iShare GIS pages pre-v5.0

"isharemaps.simple" - My House/My Nearest pages

"isharemaps.mymaps" - My Maps pages
