Thanks Kyle -- that's exactly what I needed for the current circumstance. It might not be the best, but it looks like the simplest by a long shot. Thanks to Conal too. I'm so glad to have a community of folks who can help spare us from hours of anguish and frustration!

Just change your data.json file so the content is var data = ' [include your json here, be sure to escape things properly]'; Then just load this file before your external script e.g.: <!cript language="javascript" src="data.json"></script> <!cript language="javascript" src="external_script.js"></script> Within external_script.js, you can reference the data variable just as you would have had it been defined in external_script.js. Depending on what you're doing with your json, it may or may not be a good approach, but it will work. kyle
