Hi

If the file exists in the specified directory, then Apache will send it and its role ends.

One possible problem related with Apache is the [tt]Content-type[/tt]. In your HTML code the script type is not defined and if Apache is set to send inadequate MIME, the browser may expect something else then JavaScript code.

Please check the HTTP communication between browser and server with LiveHTTPHeaders in Mozilla/FireFox or ieHTTPHeaders in Explorer to ensure the correct URL is requested and the file is sent.

Then check for JavaScript errors in your browser. And from this point will belong to forum216.

hi feherke.....

thanks for ur suggestion mate...

the problem is resolved....the funniest thing happening was the file existed as "GlobalHeader.js" and i was declaring it as "GlobalHeader.js", no mistakes here, after I changed the case with the file and with decalaration it worked !!!

now the file is "globalheader.js" and declared in the same way.

what i dont understand is why the case dint work with unix whereas it worked decently with windows.

Hi

Because the file names in Unix are case sensitive while on Windows are case insensitive. And when Apache look for the file, it see what the operating system tells.
