Startup script problem

[bill yeager]

I'm registering a startup script in my "page load" event.
Everything works fine when I run it locally, but when it's
deployed to the webserver, it doesn't execute the
javascript which is inside a ".js" file (on the root
directory of the website).

Here is the HTML where I have the javascript function to
execute:
<code>
<TD style="HEIGHT: 23px">

<input name="txtEnding" type="text" value="100"
id="txtEnding" tabindex="24"
onChange="CalculateTotalMileage();"
style="width:96px;" /></TD>
</code>

Here is the code in my code behind page:
<code>
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

RegisterScripts()
..
..
..

Private Sub RegisterScripts()

txtMileageBeginning.Attributes.Add
("onChange", "CalculateTotalMileage();")
txtEnding.Attributes.Add
("onChange", "CalculateTotalMileage();")
ddlDispatchInfo.Attributes.Add
("onChange", "EnableDispatchInfoOther();")

If (Not IsClientScriptBlockRegistered
("PageStartupJScript")) Then
RegisterClientScriptBlock
("PageStartupJScript", "<script language=""javascript""
src=""/EMSAssist/ClientFunctions.js""></script>")
End If

End Sub
</code>

Why isn't the web application recognizing the javascript
functions when it's deployed to the webserver?

the path to the ClientFunctions.js is probably wrong.

type in

http://servername/vdirname/EMSAssist/ClientFunctions.js

and see if the file downloads

Have you got the same directory structure on your local computer and on the
web server? The url "/EMSAssist/ClientFunctions.js" referes to a file named
ClientFunctions.js located in the EMSAssist folder on the root of the web
server.
To ensure that the java script file actually is loaded by the browser, add
an alert("Loaded!"); statement to the file.
