How to create JS includes

Hello,

This should be a simple question to anyone who knows JavaScript, but I'm new
to it.

I have a JavaScript that I need to use in many pages. How do I create JS
includes?

I tried the standard method - created a text file, then includud it like
this:



but this did't work for me.

I would appreciate your advice.

Thank you,

Peter this is how:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test!</title>


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="test.js">

</script>
</head>
<body>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>

Thank you!

I assume that test.js is just a text file that I assign a "js" extension,
correct?

That is correct.

Thank you!

A nice bare-bones example. Two remarks on the side: The script element has
no language attribute. It may have had one in the past, but that is history.
To reduce unnecessary webtraffic and in order to "validate", you should
remove the portion which reads <... language="javascript" ...> from the
script tag. Also, the custom of hiding script from older browsers by
encapsulating the script's content in  SGML comments is obsolete.
These "older browsers" that do not know about the script tag, are history
too.

You can also make the src point to a script on another website. Socalled
hit-counters often do this. Simply by entering the whole address, including
http protocol. Just be aware that cross-domain security restrictions apply.

As a last remark, a script element that has a src defined, will ignore any
content inside the tag itself. Only if the source file is not found or there
some other error loading the external script, will the engine consider and
execute any script hardcoded inside the tag.

Bearing in mind where much system software is written, you should not
expect just one standard for anything.

You are here making the assumption that the script will be read only by
browsers; that is no more than an assumption.

The master copies of my own web pages are most frequently read by a
tool, CHEKLINX, which is affected by seeing these comment delimiters;
without them, the normally-satisfactory javascript if (b<a) needs
to be re-written as if (b< a) or if (b < a ) .
