Include File help

usp004 · Sep 12, 2000

I am using an include file in my ASP page which contains JavaScript code to validate a date input field. If I leave the JavaScript code in-line on the ASP page everything works fine... but when I move the JavaScript code to another file and reference it via and INCLUDE file.... it doesnt work... basically it cannot find the function. Here is a simpified code example of what I am doing:

ASP PAGE:

<HTML><HEAD>

<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
.
.
.
<INPUT name=Submit onclick="PrintHello();">
.
.

----------------------------------------------------------
INCLUDE FILE: (DateValidation.js)

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
Function PrintHello(){
alert("HELLO&quot

}
//-->
</script>

Thanks in advance.

Try this example...

default.asp

Code:

<html>
<head>
<!--#include file=&quot;DateValidation.js&quot;-->
</head>
<body>
<input type=button value=&quot;Hello&quot; onclick=&quot;PrintHello();&quot;>
</body>
</html>

DateValidation.js

Code:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function PrintHello(){
    alert(&quot;HELLO&quot;);
}
//-->
</script>

A) Unless it was simply misprint then your function was spelled Function (use lowercase)
B) If the .js file is in a different folder if you want to use include file then you must specify the file path relative to the .asp file. As is above both files must be in the same folder. If you use include virtual then you must specify the file path relative to the site.

Hope this helps,
