How can i link this to a Javascript File?

[johnmak]

Please goto

http://www.livemotogp.com.

If you view the code i would like to put all that Javascript into an external file so it will read better in the search engines..

I have no previous experience of this language so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't undestand your question. You already have alink to a javascript file in that page:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot; src=&quot;images/mm_menu.js&quot;></script>

So you can just copy all the javascript code into a file just like in mm_menu.js, say you name it &quot;util.js&quot;. Then delete the entire <script>...</script> element from the page and replace it with

<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot; src=&quot;images/util.js&quot;></script>

hmm search engines?...JS?
...who wants to &quot;search & read&quot; JS wihtout any HTML presenting it?
anyhow I am confused but 100% behind palbano on this one!

All the best!

Hi there guys thanks for your replys.

Sorry i was very tired when i posted last night.

What i meant to say was how do you link to a Javascript file, so that the search engines wouldnt have to wade through the Javascript before getting to the real information i want the engines to pick up through in the HTML.

Anyway palbano you answered my question correctly and if you view my site i have cut the 50 or so lines of Javascript in every HTML page. I cut and pasted into a new file like you suggested and it works great.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks again guys.

Don't know if you tested or not johnmark, but that site falls apart on a mac running osx.

Would look into that if you have time.

damn. I tested on IE6 and NN.

What do u mean fall apart?What do you think the problem can be?

 

[coldfused]

I am at home, running pc, but at work on osx it just completely falls apart. Table cells, navigation, etc. Is a complete mess.

Will do a screen shot monday and let you have a look if you dont look at it on a mac by then.

your JS &quot;file.js&quot; can NOT have
--------
<script>
</script>
--------
tags if you attach it to HTML as shown above:
<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot; src=&quot;JS/util.js&quot;></script>

All the best!

Off topic, but something that I once did to mess up people trying to steal my js was to actually keep the <script> tags in and then use PHP to include the file :-D. It worked, but remember that you would have to use a server side language to include the page. The method you're using right now would no longer work. Don't know if that idea interests anyone, but I know lots of people like protecting their code.....
