javascript file (.js) on hard disk

milkyway

Hello everyone,

What is the correct way to incorporate a .js file into an HTML file
*IF* the .js file on a hard disk?

What I have tried is listed below but it does not work... When trying
to access a function module in one of the .js files, I get an error
that the function module is not defined (which would lead me to believe
that it is not being imported with the .js "src" instruction.

Does anyone know how to get around this?

TIA.

Those back slashes ("\") don't look correct to me, but I develop on Mac.
Why not place the external files in the same directory as the ppage?
I assume you are previewing locally.

Same as you would for on a website.

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

list the "src" first.
Your src file should be in the same directory as the calling file.
if not, then use src="path/filename.js".
BTW, DO NOT use the C:\ root directory for anything but the OS files.
Always put your personal files into folders.

Here is an example if both files are in the same folder.

<script type="text/javascript"
src="domwalker.js"></script>
The backslash only works in IE. Use the forward slash instead. Also,
the \ is a javascript escape character. You might try //.
<SCRIPT language="javascript1.2"

Do you know that javascript1.2 uses a different definition of equal (=)
inside an if statement? If do not know the difference you want to use
this line:
<script type="text/javascript">

An advantage of this is that you will not have to change your code when
you move it to the server.

Hello again everyone,

Thank you so much for your responses and advice :-)))

I found out what the problem was. In the immortal words of Charlie
Brown: AUUUGGGGGH!!!!!

Basically, I created the files using the Windows interface. I saved
them with the name of check_functions.js - well, it so happens that
this *#$#%%@ thing saved it as check_functions.js.txt!!!

When I went to the OS level and changed it to check_functions.js, all
worked OK!!!

Kindest Regards.

Only in certain browsers.
If do not know the difference you want to use this line:
<script type="text/javascript">

You should use the type attribute even if you *do* know the difference.
Unless you are after one of the quirks that 1.2 invokes in Netscape 4
