importing a .js file to a html page

[rpjanaka]

Hi all,

Instead of writing javascript functions on the html page it self, we could write those in separate “.js” file and import it as follow.

<script src="fileName.js" ></script>


But when we do this and check the web page source on the browser, there is no any JavaScript function there..
But those functions are running without any problem..

So I want to know where those JavaScript functions are..????
Those should be in the client side not in server side..


Thanks....

If the script is in a .js file, the script can be read by loading it directly and it can be downloaded by writing an HREF for it.

Those Javascript functions are in the file. The file is separate from your html file. It's actually more convenient this way as it prevents cluttering up your markup code.

here i want to know the place where it exist on the client machine..?

if we write those functions on the html page itself those can be read by checking the source of the page.

but when we use .js file those functions can not be viewed. so how those are executed by the client browser....?

I know that the .js files should be downloaded somewhere in Temporary Internet Files\

I just tested it and it's true....
I open www.personal.ro and the file "cookie.js" referenced in page, appears in Internet Temporary Files folder.

They can easily be accessed by the browser just like an image. An image is not contained within the page, it is a separate file, but the browser follows the link and displays the image. See this page on ways to include javascript on your page.
