Javascript function in static file not found on one theme

Question

Hello,
Hava a Ajax function on a Textfield.
Have a static Javascript file with a function named register(....)
On my site properties in section Footer-Text I call that function.
If I use the Theme Business - 3, my Ajax function works without problems.
But now I have changed the Theme to Modern Blue - 20.
Since I have changed the Theme to Modern Blue my Ajax function dont work.
It occures an error: register is not defined
Have anyone an idea why in theme Modern Blue it is not found my function from static file???

Hi Markus,
The problem is that the page doesn't know where the function is yet, because it checks it at runtime, when it comes along the register call. Probably the position is different then the other theme, and you've been lucky earlier.
My suggestion is to change the position of the call, to a position where the javascript is allready loaded. Or change the position where you load your javascript file. (For example, set it in the Page template in the HTML header!)
I think this will solve your problem!
