Claudia,

I would recommend adding an init or config function in the external js file. That function would be called by script code in pagelayout.tpl that would set the variables you need.

Good luck,

Betsy

For example:

<b>pagelayout.tpl</b>

<script src="{'ajax.js'|ezdesign}"></script>
<script>init_ajax('{$node.url_alias|ezurl}',30)</script>

<b>ajax.js</b>

target_url=''
timeout=0

function init_ajax(in_url,timelimit)
{
  target_url=in_url
  timeout=timelimit
}

function do_ajax()
{
  sendRequest(target_url)  /* Sample code, may not be correct syntax/call */
}
