Question about linking the .js file

[martinsafp]

If i link the .js file like <script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;scripts/filename.js&quot;> it doesn't work, if i put the file in the root directory and change the src, it still doesn't work. It only works if i put the whole script in the source of my page, but i want to link it. How should i do this?

 

[FhHouse]

Are you using </script> ?

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;scripts/filename.js&quot;></script>

just an idea

 

[martinsafp]

yes i used </script>

 

[tleish]

What does your linked script look like?
- tleish

What server are you on? Your server may by case sensitive in file name.

if i show the whole script, i will use very much space in this thread. But the script helps with some kind of alt on a link, like an alt on an image.
The server is casesensitive, but that's not the problem.

the script is:

it works fine this way, but if i link it, it fails!

I had the same problem before. It has nothing to do with the content of the script if you can run it on the same page of your htm, asp, etc file.

There're only two possibilities that I can think of.
1. Case sensitive issue. That you have already tried. What if you type the full URL of the js file on the browser. Can you download the js file?

2.If you use some web host like Yahoo that automatically generate some JavaScript on your page for advertisement. It might cause problem if there're overlapping object definition, etc...

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the content if it works the other way.

If your .js-file doesn´t work, if you put it in the root-directory, using
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;filename.js&quot;></script>
I think the problem is that you have to initialize your script with a function in the head-tag and start the hole thing with <body onLoad &quot;initialize()&quot;>
My guess is that you should do it as followed:

<head>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot; src=&quot;filename.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function initialize(){
init()
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad=&quot;initialize()&quot;>

Hope this works,
