js include file

**Lokiz** · 31st January 2001, 14:52

Hi

Than i include js file in the script tag and putting additional script code directly
(like this: <script src="file.js> js content </script>)
i receive error, however if i include js file and leave script tag empty, script works fine.
What is the problem?

Thanks.

bit difficult to say without seeing rest of code (and I'm none too hot myself

but is it because you haven't got a closing quote after the filename? Try:

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

Hope this helps..

i don't think when you are calling an external js file you can put anything between the script tags.. i'm not sure.. but i dont think you can.

Hi Lokiz:

As bman correctly notes, you cannot put any code between your <script src>-tags.
If you want to use an include and then add some code only for use in that particular page, you simply add another pair of <script>-tags.

For example:

<html>
<head>
<script src="externalScript.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//some code
</script>
<head>
<body>
</body
</html>

Hope that helps
