loading like CSS

[chris9902]

like with .CSS files you can load them a single line and a different file.

e.g. <link rel="stylesheet" href="text.css" type="text/css">

ok so can you do that with DHTML because i have a script that is like 200 lines long.

thanks for the help:)

You can do this:

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

[chris9902]

i don't no why but it did not work.

i have a .js file called text.js and added that to my body but nothing happened

[David Harrison]

You're supposed to do it in the head section.

Edit:

If you've got a great big script that you want to put in the body in your .js file, then simlpy enclose it all in a function and put <script type=".... in the head and then in the body have:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
the_function();
//--></script>

[chris9902]

ok so how does it no were to add it to my body section

[David Harrison]

I thought that you might ask that, so I edited my other post. Too late I guess.

[chris9902]

i have no idea what you edited

what do i do?

do i add

<script type="text/javascript" src="text.js"></script>
in the head

then

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
the_function();
//--></script>
in the body:rolleyes:

[chris9902]

ok i upload the .js file i don't really understand what you do.

how do i edit that file so it has a function... or whatever

then i think i add

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
the_function();
//--></script>

but edit "the_function();" part and add it to were i want it in my BODY

then i add

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

in the head

OK, well for starters you don't have any active HTML in the .js file. Javascript only, so all of those <script language="javascript1.2">'s have got to go. Give me a minute to sift through the script and I'll try and get the deired effect.

[chris9902]

yeah i have a HTML page and i want to linka .js file.

thanks for doing this i am really lost, i don't understand js at all

[David Harrison]
