how to read .js file from html?

**mark107** · 03-17-2013 03:17 PM

Hi guys,

I need your help, I have a problem with my external .js file where I cant be able to read the javascript to get things right and working, but it is not working when I press on the keyboard up and down arrow buttons.

here is the html code:

Code:

<html>
<body>


<style type="text/css">
 
body {background:url('/images/blue_background.jpg') no-repeat center center fixed;}
 
</style>

<body style="overflow: hidden">

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

</script>
</body>
</html>

here is the test.js file

Code:

document.onkeydown = checkKey;
function checkKey(e) {

if(key == 38)
{
   alert('up arrow are working');
}

if(key == 40)
{
   alert('down arrow are working');
}

I have attached the zip file so you will know why it is not working.

Any advice would be much appreicated.

thanks in advance

Moving to a different forum will not change the answer.
