Hi all,
Im have a javascript that works in both IE as in Netscape.
But if i put it in an external (.js) file then it works only in Internet Explorer. I know netscape has problems with some external css files does this goes for js to? Or is it more obvious there's something wrong with my way of transfering the code to an js file.

Thanks readers,
Troy

I think this may be a problem related to caching. Try adding these to your <head> and see if it makes any difference:<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />That should prevent the page from being cached.

Good luck.

Start with the javascript console (in NS 4, type "javascript:" in the location bar - in NS 6+, click on Tools|Web Development|Javascript Console) and look for errors. There will probably be some.

The most common mistake people make when they transfer a working script to a .js file is they leave the HTML <script> tag in it (illegal) or leave the comment string, e.g.:

<script language="javascript">

</script>

None of this should be in the .js file, only the bit represented by the "...".

I dit that. :S

I've got this in my html file :

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="java/3box.js"></script>

And the code in the .js file.

It doesn't make sence to me

Post a link, or zip all the files up and attach them to your reply.

It doesn't work in explorer to :S

I made a zip containing:

The file as i want it (script in a js)

And the exact same script intern that DOES work.
