Passing parameter to external script

Show all headers | View raw

Can the construct:

   <SCRIPT SRC=/lastupdated.js></SCRIPT>

… be modified to pass a parameter to lastused.js ?

I suspect the answer is "No", but since I rank last but three in 
JavaScript coding skill (global survey) I decided to ask people who know.

Presumably, the answer is to define a function, lastupdated() in 
lastupdated.js and then use:

   <SCRIPT>lastupdated('Swifty')</SCRIPT>

inline the HTML?

Out of curiosity, are there any ghastly errors in my lastused.js, 
bearing in mind that it works for me?

// Swifty's lastused.js
function LastUpdated(Whom)
{
if (Whom === undefined) {Whom = "Swifty";}
var DayOfWeek = new Initialize("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", 
"Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" );
var MonthName = new Initialize("January", "February", "March", "April", 
"May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", 
"December");
var LastModifiedDate = new Date(document.lastModified);

document.write("<SMALL>This page was last updated ");
document.write(DayOfWeek[(LastModifiedDate.getDay() + 1 )] ,", ");
document.write(MonthName[(LastModifiedDate.getMonth() + 1)] ," ");
year=LastModifiedDate.getYear();
if (year<100) year+=100;
if (year<1000) year+=1900;
document.write( LastModifiedDate.getDate() ,", " ,( year ) );
hours= LastModifiedDate.getHours();
document.write( " at ", ((hours < 10) ? "0" : "") + hours )
minutes= LastModifiedDate.getMinutes();
document.write( ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes );
if (Whom !== '') {document.write(" by ",Whom,".");}
}

function Initialize()
    { this.length = Initialize.arguments.length
      for ( var i = 0; i < this.length; i++ ) this[ i + 1 ] = 
Initialize.arguments[ i ]
     }
