<SCRIPT SRC="../..."> doesn't work under Firefox.

I have got a code like this in HTML section in ASP file which includes

Can anybody tell me what is wrong?

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="../inc/JSfile.js"><SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>
<!--

Post a URL where the problem occurs.
Why do you think that the file is not loaded, do you get script errors,
which ones exactly?

Just killed my Firefox again during a rude vivisection.

Possibilities:

1) Firefox does not allow relative path:
Try fully qualified path

2) You open the page from local drive so src doesn't point to the right
place.

3) Somehow the <base> tag got set in the header section.

Actually if the (1) doesn't help, then (2) and (3) are for sport only.
The real reason then in the script code itself. IE forgives much more
mistakes than FF and executes it, FF spit it out. What does JavaScript
console says?

Shouldn't it be this instead?

<script type="text/javascript" src="../inc/JSfile.js"></script>

I get errros in JavaScript that for example function XXX() is not
defined!
If I paste the script into the file then it's ok, but if it's outside
the file, imprted from the url it doesn't work, so it's not the script
code itself.

No I don't I don't all files are placed on the local network server!
So the src must point to the right place!
Somehow the <base> tag got set in the header section.

What do you mean?

You can rule that one out right now.

I can't post the url, because it is not public ip.
The structure of the network is:
Server at ip:xxx.xxx.xx.xx on drive c so i can get to the source code!
My ASP file is in yyy/aaa folder and the JSfile.js is in the yyy/bbb
folder
so to point the file I type <script src="../bbb/Jsfile.js"></script>

On local drive it works, it dosent work on the server!

Post EXACTLY:
1) The url you see in your browser. Hide the IP if you wish.

2) The <script> tag used to access the JS file

From that, we can compute the URL to the JS file. Putting that in manually
should bring the JS file from the server. I suspect the file is not where
you think it is. That's usually the case in situations like this.

Have you put SGML (HTML) comments in your Javascript? If so - Don't.

{

http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/new_contract.asp

The JS file is located on server xxx.xx.xx.xx\c\Inetpub\inc

Then your js file should be at:
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/inc/validation.js

Type that into your browser and see if it comes up.

http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/inc /validation.js under MS IE and Firefox.
The tag <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"

LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="../inc/validation.js"></SCRIPT> and then
everything works propely..but I don't want do that this way!

It's a mistake in posting. In the file it's ok!

Aug 1 '05 #22
Ok, I'm going to try here.
with all the "overtrimming" much of the 'discussion' is lost in previous
posts, so forgive me if I pull in text from older posts in this thread.

<!--

...
</BODY>
</HTML> in the above there are a few things to consider:
1. according to XHTML 'standards' <TAGS> and its attributes should be <lowercase>
2. language is deprecated, type=text/javascript should be used instead
3. close your <tags> with </tags> (</script> and </head>)
4. make sure that relative paths are valid and the file is there.

to 3. you mentioned that it was ok in your original.
now, to continue

^ language attribute is deprecated
The JS file is located on server xxx.xx.xx.xx\c\Inetpub\inc
My ASP file is located on server xxx.xx.xx.xx\c\Inetpub\new_contract
ok, so /e-shop is a virtual folder?
IOW, you either access src="../inc/validation.js" as
<ip>/e-shop/inc/validation.js
or
<ip>/inc/validation.js

now from http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/new_contract.asp
"../inc/validation.js" resolves to
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/../inc/validation.js
^^^^^^^^^
../ removes e-shop/8
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/inc/validation.js
so this is where your file should be, but as I understand, it is on
http://xxx.xx.xx.xx/e-shop/inc/validation.js
then the line should read:
<script type="text/javascript" src="inc/validation.js"></script>

without the ../ and no preceding / before inc/validation.js

Solved!

The path to the file was OK! and the </tags> were put right in the
file.
The problem was an order of function declarations in javascript file.
I have made a new javascript file with new order of declarations using
the order of not defined functions shown by JavaScript console.
Now everything works right! Thanks for help!
