Seperate file for JavaScript code.

[Neily]

Can someone help me to set-up this.

I want a seperate file that contains all my code for a web site and the html files just refer to this when they run. I have never done this so would like your help. An example would be great!!

Thanks Neil

Save them to a seperate file without any html except the script tags.

ex.

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function myfunction() {
x=1
}
//-->
</script>

Then &quot;include&quot; the file in your html page:

<!--#include file=&quot;myfunctions.inc&quot;-->

What you want to do is save your script in separate .js files, such as

myfunction.js

In your web pages you can then use a pair of script tags to reference the file, as in:

<script language=vbscript src=&quot;myfunction.js&quot;></script>

Some would argue that the &quot;include&quot; approach is improper. However it will only work if you have some sort of server-side include facility at your disposal.

Using the &quot;proper&quot;

src[\code] attribute of the [code]<script>

tag should work for any browser, and almost any server including free hosting servers.

By the way, your .js file(s) would not contain <script> tags, only code.

Thanks for that. But how do I call the functions from the .js file. I Keep getting errors. Do you have to call them from a certain place.
