Scripts.js

Fred

I use a lot of JavaScript on some of my pages and I need to place it
(off-page) in its own file. The problem is that the script is in two parts
with the larger script within the body. The script within the <head> can
easily be placed in a file like <script src="myscripts.js"></script> but I'm
at a loss on how to deal with the script in the <body> part of the page. Any
ideas? Fred

It's called the same way in the body as it is in the head section.

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

How about the Include Page component?

Or an SSI, such as:

<!-- #include file="lib/chklogin.inc" -->

Fred,

I came across js emebdded with the body, and what I did was look at the js
and see what were functions and variable *definitions* and remove all of
them to an external.js.

In the body, I put
<script type ="text/javascript">

[ in here, I placed function calls and/or "document.write(..)"s that were
in the original code

</script>

I am not sure whether you get my drift or not
An example was wz_tolltips from http://www.walterzorn.com

I was able to place the entire code in an external.js (except for the last
line - see below)
In the body I just had:
<script type="text/javascript">
tt_Init()
</script>

tt_Init() was the last line of the original code

However, now I look at it, Steve's suggestion as just as good, if not
better.

Well, he is an MVP, so it would be better :)))

Actually, tt_init() is not required to fire the script

Simply call the script file <script type ="text/javascript" src="scriptfile.js>
and any functions and routines contained within are loaded into a memory space
and able to be called from "events" contained within the html in the page, that fire functions
contained in the script.
