use drupal_add_js for file outside drupal dir

Question

I would like to add a js file thats outside my drupal installation dir, but keep it relative to that dir.

mysite
  |-- drupal
  |-- dirWithJsFile
      |-- thisfile.js

i have already tried things like

/../dirWithJsFile/thisfile.js
../dirWithJsFile/thisfile.js

but add_js seems not be able to go outside the drupal dir or is there an option i must set?

Answer 1

The javascript file you want to add is not inside your drupal installation so you need to add it the same way you would do it with an external file:

drupal_add_js('http://yourdomain.com/dirWithJsFile/thisfile.js', 'external');

See drupal_add_js for more informations.

Answer 2

In D6, no dice, but in D7, you could fudge it with setting $options to external and then using the full sitename and path to the file.
