XP access to .js?

Hi,
I am told to form an external javascript, so I form a text file and end
it with .js. (jxt1.js) This script is very simple:
function a_message()
{
alert('I came from an external script! Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!');
}
Next, I form a HTML page which is supposed to access that external .js!
Between the heads, I type:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="jxt1.js"></SCRIPT>

So, I'm supposed to be all set up. When I access the page, nothing happens.
When I click on the script.js, to see it and edit it, nothing happens. My
question is how do i run an external javascript and click on it to view and
edit it when my OS is XP Pro? I know this seems very basic but please
answer.

In the js you have and only:

function a_message()
{
alert('I came from an external script! Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!');
}

In your html you have:

<!-- testjs.htm -->
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" src="jxt1.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="Javascript">
a_message();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Both located in the same area. Then you browse to testjs.htm.

Thanks John and George. Sometimes you can't see the forest through the
trees. Of course I didn't call it. To view/edit the .js, all I had to do
was right-click the .js file and "always open with" (textpad.exe)

I can now create a .js and pages that access that .js. That's all I
wanted. I can obviously do the rest. Thanks!
