Hiding JavaScript code in the HTML

F

Fred

BlankCould some kind person take a look at the source page of http://www.all-inclusive-hotels.co.uk/ and show me how to hide the long code for both the drop down menu's. I know I can save the code to say mysripts-menu1.js but I'm not sure how much of the code I have to "hide" and what I place in the <body> to call it up on loading. Any help would be much appreciated.

The code is not hidden when you place it in a external .js file, actually it make it easier to
"borrow" since it is in a single file download to the user's browser's cache folder.

Hi Thomas,

Sorry for using the wrong terminology. I should have said hidden from the
search engine spider when the page is crawled. Let me rephrase my question.
I assume that this is all that is placed in the <head> of the page or can
this also 'hidden' <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--function load(form)
{var url = form.list.options[form.list.selectedIndex].value;if (url != "")
location.href = url; return false;}// --></script> Note that all spacing has
been removed.

And how much of the code in the <body> between <form NAME="menu1"> and
</select> </form>
do I save to a ( plain text file say using notepad) which I would call
myscript-menu1.js and save to my root and what text do I place in the <body>
where I want the menu to appear. Fred

Ok, that is a good question, and I don't know the answer.

When moving script to an external file you move everything between, but not
including, the <script> and </script> tags. You also delete <!-- and //-->
at the beginning and end

So in your case, the JS file will read
function load(form) {
var url = form.list.options[form.list.selectedIndex].value;
if (url != "") location.href = url; return false;}

In the HTML you place this in the <head> section
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" src="myscript-menu1.js">
</script>

The code in the body should not need to change

And delete the invalid script starting with
<script LANGUAGE="&quot;JavaScript&quot;">
&lt;!--
and ending with
// --&gt;
</script>

Search engine spiders are not troubled by javascript. They know how to hop
from <script> to </script> and ignore everything in between....
