Cant get variable to display in html (very easy I'm sure)

[maximus350zx]

Hello - My name is Max and i am new to Java Programming so thank you for helping me out.

I have a file names maxcode.js which is a .txt file and contains the following 2 lines :

var chameleon = "blue";
Var Weight

I have a file called about.html and in the head section of the document I have the code:

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

In the body section of about.html I have the following code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from older browser
document.write(chameleon)
//-->
</script>

At present nothing is displayed but by goal is to have the word blue displayed per the variables defined in the .js file. Can you help?

document.write doesn't work in the body section because it tries to overwrite your document. remove your script in the head section
