opera not including my .js file

[edMX]

I have a piece of javascript in an external .js file that works fine in IE but doesn't work at all in Opera. When I copy the contents of the external .js file into the page it works fine.

I'm using the line

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

to include the javascript. I have tried putting this in the Header and in various places in the Body. None of these attempts work.

Anyone know why Opera isn't including my .js file?

Make sure you have only JavaScript code inside your external .js file. I'm guessing you have opening and closing <script> tags which are causing your problems.

Good luck.

thanks,

It turns out I had <!-- and --> in the .js files that were ignored in MSIE but not in Opera
