Function in one js file can't find the js file in another?

Hi

I have the following code in one js file:

one.js

    function check_holiday (dt_date){
	var holidays = {
	    2015:[[5,25],[8,31],[12,24],[12,25],[12,26],[12,27],[12,28],[12,29],[12,30],[12,31]],
	    2016:[[1,1],[3,25],[3,28],[5,2],[5,30],[8,29],[12,26],[12,27],[12,28],[12,29],[12,30],[12,31]],
	    2017:[[1,1],[1,2],[1,3]]
	};
			
	for(;;){
	    var hol_array = holidays[dt_date.getFullYear()];
	    if( hol_array ){
		var is_hol = false;
		for( var i in hol_array ){
		    var hol = hol_array[i];
		    if( ( hol[0] == dt_date.getMonth()+1 && hol[1] == dt_date.getDate()) || ( dt_date.getDay() == 0 || dt_date.getDay() == 6 ) ) // Skip weekends
		    {
			    is_hol = true;
			    dt_date.setDate(dt_date.getDate()+1);
			    break;
		    }
		}
		if( !is_hol ){
		    break;
		}
	    }
	}
	return dt_date;
    };

Open in new window

and i'm calling it in another js file:

two.js

var futureDate = check_holiday(date_time);

Open in new window

Yes I have one.js in the header and two.js inserted at the bottom of the body tag.

Hi,
as this works, it must be something either in one of your JS files or in the HTML file.
Could you please attach the three files?
Do you use any namespace in one.js?
Thanks.

And here my local sample which runs on my test IIS site successfully.

Whats your web server? Are you using any server side code (PHP, ASP, ASP.NET ...)?

Hi
As I was getting the files ready to send to you and I reallised the problem. The one.js had

var $ = jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($){

and the function was within this, so wasn't accessible globally. I didn't see because it wasn't at the beginning of the document as you'd expect it to be.

Technically your answer is correct you i'll accept your solutions.

Thank you for the time to trying to help me.
