What do you mean open a javascript file, what exactly is in this file and why would you need it to be opened? — Prisoner

What do you mean by open? You want to show the sourcecode within the browser? You want to download the sourcecode? — Sgoettschkes

@Dray: Maybe you simply need to call some javascript function when button clicked? — Andrew D.

It think you mean it "Load" instead of open

You can 'Load' JS file dynamically using following code

  var fileref = document.createElement('script')
  fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript")
  fileref.setAttribute("src", yourfilename)

Can be important in some cases add an attribute "charset".
