how to put javascript in a file

[bbxrider]

i'm just finishing a web page with a fair amount of javascript, or seems
that way to me being my first attempt at this.

for this particular page i'm not so concerned about 'hiding' the javascript
but keep hearing references to putting it in a file to hide it and am
not sure how to do that. i want the code to be executed at the client
browser side, not back at the server

There are lots of good reasons to put your programs in .js files, and execute
them with

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

Put forget about hiding it. It won't stay hidden. Don't even think about it.

I looked at your code. Just take all your code between your script tags
and put it into it's own file with a .js extension. NOTE: do NOT put
the script tags into this file, just everything in between them.

Then change the script tag in your page to something like:

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

Where example.js is the name of the file you created in the first step
above.
