How do I call a function from another .js file?

i have 2 .js files, mpi.js and functions.js
the functions.js file contains common functions that i reference from
my web pages. i have a function in mpi.js that needs to call one of
the functions from functions.js but i dont know how to do this.
if memory serves me in Java you had to use the import statement, but
that does not appear to work in this case.

ha, i answered my own question

the code is as follows

in the mpi.js i just needed to add

// include functions.js
document.write("<script language='Javascript' type='text/javascript'
src='scripts/functions.js'></script>");

note that i keep my scripts in a subfolder called scripts

i hope this helps out someone else

Just want to add this - don't make the mistake of thinking that

Javascript has anything at all to do with Java. It doesn't.
