Why won't SRC work?

[ojsimon]

Hi
I am trying to run an external javascript that is on one of my other systems

When i view the source of the page the code i see is

 
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> 
document.write('<iframe width="400" height="200" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" src="/websnips copy/index.php/widget/show/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5iYmMuY28udWsvbG9uZG9uL25ld3Mv/156"></iframe>');
</SCRIPT>

I am trying to create a document like this

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:8888/websnips%20copy/index.php/widget/widget/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5iYmMuY28udWsvbG9uZG9uL25ld3Mv/156"></script>
 

Which should embed the script above it, but it doesn't. Can anyone help me fix this problem?

Thanks

The .js file doesn't need <script ...></script> inside it: just the javascript code. Also, the src attrib should point to an actually .js file, I believe.

Problem is that it is an automated file and does not have any . extention so i need to define it as js?

Thanks

Well, the file that is output needs a mimetype that is equivalent to text/javascript. Maybe you can use something like php to get the contents of that 'automated file' and output it to the browser between <script> tags.

Also, the language attribute is deprecated (ie don't use it). Use type="text/javascript" instead.
