On a whim, I tried this in my page output code:
Code: {script, [{src,?JSCRIPT++"test.js.yaws"},{type,"text/javascript"}]},
and then I created this test file"
Code: /**
** Proof of concept: Yaws/Erlang generated Javascript!
**
** Each time this page is called it generates a different time
** thus proving that I can generate 'dynamic' javascript.
**/
function woohoo() {
alert('Test yaws js, the time is<erl>
out(A)->
{html, io_lib:format("~w",[now()])}.
</erl>');
}
IT WORKED! I guess that I knew it would but the possibilities are endless now. What an awesome capability in the wrong hands! 
-- I could generate *user* specific javascript on the fly based on session content.
-- I can create custom functions that apply to the current page context very easily.
-- and a million more uses I have yet to think of!
I am now in the process of re-factoring my CSS for my site to have a set of bindings at the top eg major theme colour and then I can use them to generate a 'CSS' file that is utterly tweakable. I hate having to change twenty places in a CSS file just because a colour has changed, now I need only define it as a variable and use it where I need it. Cool!
I *know* I can use SSI and bindings but damn it all this just feels more fun like changing the tyre on your car without stopping first!
Double wooo-hoooooooo!
