Like riffy says above, it doesn't matter where the .js file is, as long as you specify it's location in the SRC parameter relative to the current page. For example, I have all my .html pages in the root directory on my webspace, and all my .js files in a subdirectory called include, so in my case it looks like this ...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="include/jsource.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
If the contents of the .js file are syntactically correct, then it will work. Linking to the .js file externally has essentially the same effect as if you just pasted it's entire contents into the <HEAD> section of your html page.

var username=document.login.username.value;
username=username.toLowerCase();
var password=document.login.password.value;
password=password.toLowerCase();
if (username=="member1"&&password=="password1"
{window.location="page1.html"; done=1;}
if (username=="member2"&&password=="password2"
{window.location="page2.html"; done=1;}
if (username=="member3"&&password=="password3"
{window.location="page3.html"; done=1;}
if (done==0) {alert("Try again!!"}}
</SCRIPT>

First of all, take out all the html <SCRIPT> tags. They aren't needed in the include file. It should just contain pure javascript. Then test it again. If it still doesn't work, other things to look at may be;
- Make sure there's a form called login
- Make sure there are fields called username and password
There may be an issue with having javascript variables with the same name as form elements. I'm not sure on that one.
Hope this helps a bit.
