I have an html file with javascript functions in the <head> section that
work fine when called from events or instanced as objects.
When I move the functions to an external js file they don't work (timers
don't run).
What pitfalls are there in having "external" functions, is there a scope
problem like in c?

No, there should be no scope problem. Be aware that when moving inline
JavaScript to an external file, you shouldn't include the <script></script>
tags, nor should you include any HTML (such as comments <!-- -->).
Are the function calls generating any errors (to check, double-click the yellow
! in the bottom left corner of IE, or use Tools -> Web Development ->
JavaScript Console in Mozilla).
