how to call a javascript function form another javascript where both are on the same html

Question

I have a html code in which i had two javascripts. I want to call the function of 1 javascript into another. Below given is the structure of my javascript.

<html>
<head>
<script>
function a()
{
//function code
this.parent["asd"].b(); //problem in dis line 
}
</script>
<body>
<script>
var asd= new Asd();
function b()
{
//function code here
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

It works fine when i use it locally or from a web server. But if i upload this page in my facebook application, the parent class points somewhere else since its inside a iframe. How to resolve it. Is there any other way to call the function.

I think you are new with java script .

You can:

=> combine both javascripts which you want to use in one

or

=> include a file first of which function you want to use in another javascript so it will automaticall get the value from that javascript file.

order of javascript doesn't matter if it is global function.

yes you are correct in global scenario but it matters if you are going to use library functions or any other function defined in one file and want to call in another file...

Its doesn't matter that you have written function in same script tag or in another it easily called with function name only like below

<html>
<head>
<script>
function a()
{
//function code
b(); //problem in dis line 
}
</script>
<body>
<script>
var asd= new Asd();
function b()
{
//function code here
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

jsfiddle.net/UCBTG look at dis fiddle. In this if i call dis function next(); its not working bcos its inside some frame. Is there any other alternate way to call the next method without using parent class.

It is always better to combine all your Javascript files into one complete js file. So, you can just merge both your javascript files together. That would also save you from this trouble. You can also see this thread.

What is the use of your "timer.js" file? I mean I need this file to work.

Can you try eval("asd").b(); instead of this.parent["asd"].b();

it doenst matter. you can call any function already refered in the HTML as in the same file. because ultimately everything in same page.
