src problems

[James1981]

Hi,

I have the following script setup:

<script language=javascript src=myfile.js>

myVar1 = &quot;test&quot;;

</script>

within myfile.js the script references myVar1, but when i run the script IE says it can't find the variable. Am I doing anything wrong, if so is there a work-a-round?

Cheers
James

actually James you aren't doing something wrong per say. It is a quirk about the first implementation of Javascript. When you have a src in your script tag it will ignore everything inside it. The workaround is to have another script tag with no src attribute.

<script language=javascript>
myVar1 = &quot;test&quot;;
</script>

<script language=javascript src=myfile.js></script>
