Reading Var from one js file to another

[dfowler]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem and I'm not sure why. I have one js file that is hosted on another server. This file is modified by another source, and basically they are setting a variable as true or false. The contents are as follows:

var II_gAgentsAvail = false;

 

Then I have a second js file hosted locally.  I need to read that variable and depending on whether it is false or not execute a script.  So first, I included the other js file:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="----location of first .js file----"></SCRIPT>

 

Then I've tried:

if(II_gAgentsAvail == false) { document.write('False'); }

 

Just to test, but I'm not getting anything. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

try alerting the var to see if it has a value..

 

include the file

 

then say

 

alert(II_gAgentsAvail);

 

I betting there is not a value or the value is not false
