    Hi gaveyom,

    Hi Gaveyom

    pls change your script to 
    <browser>
function wish($str){
return "Hi"+ $str;
}
</browser>
_alert(wish("siva"));
    but please don't ask my why this is needed :)
    something like... broser.. proxy.. variables and functions... there is some difference.. somewhere, that's why the browser tags are needed.. see http://sahi.co.in/w/sahi-script-and-javascript for details

    Ok i can reproduce the failure.
    Congratulations, you may have found a bug :)

    While
    _include( "C:/Documents and Settings/gaveyom/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/includes/Functions.sah");
    works.....
    var $filePath = "C:/Documents and Settings/gaveyom/sahi/userdata/scripts/demo/includes/Functions.sah";
    _include($filePath);
    does not.

    So the workaround is to not use variables for including :)

    Hi globalworming,

    amazing, its working

    thanks a lot globalworming

    u r right, if we mention the path directly instead of using variable then it is working

    one more thing i noticed that we can write functions with out using <browser> option also

    ******************************************************************************

    <browser>

    function wish($str){
    return "Hi"+ $str;
    }

    </browser>

    ******************************************************************************

    OR


    ******************************************************************************

    function wish($str){
    return "Hi"+ $str;
    }

    ******************************************************************************

    both ways are working for me

    Hi gaveyom and globalworming,

    Just for information.It is not a bug.

    In _include(filepath);

    The path can be absolute file path or a path relative to the file where the script is included.
