Adding more than one JavaScript to a page

One of the top five scripting questions I get asked on a daily basis is not what functions are, how to dynamically change the background color of a document, or why JavaScript is the most popular language on the WWW. Oh no, these don't even come close to being on my Top Five List. A question that does keep popping up in my mailbox, however, is how to add multiple scripts- should they be scripts from our own JavaScript archive or otherwise- to one page. Many people complain that, while a script works as it should alone on the page, when a second (or more) one is added, all of a sudden, things take an unpleasant twist, and either one or both of the scripts no longer work. In this article, I'll discuss and address this "problem" now frustrating many JavaScript lovers.
