    Can't get javascript file to work...

    Hello.

    I thought this was supposed to be simple. I'm trying to use a .js file for
    my javascript functions. I'm testing by only using one function The
    function works when it's at the top of my aspx file.

    The file is called "MyFunctions.js " which was imported on the page load
    event of the code-behind form with
    Page.ClientScri pt.RegisterClie ntScriptBlock(t his.GetType(), "MyFuncs",
    "MyFunctions.js ", true); - I've used this with both true and false and with
    adding script tags myself in the .js file.

    I've also tried
    Page.ClientScri pt.RegisterClie ntScriptInclude (this.GetType() , "MyFuncs",
    "MyFunctions.js ");

    The .js file is in the same directory as the page. and has only one
    function:

    function SayHello()
    {
    alert("Hello")
    }

    I added the function call on the code behind page load

    btnLast.Attribu tes.Add("onclic k", "SayHello() ");

    is there supposed to be some directive in the .js file?

    Any ideas? This is driving me nuts!!!

    Thanks.

      First things first...

      1) Does it work if you reference the file directly? E.g.

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

      2) JavaScript, generally speaking, requires semi-colons at the end of each
      statement e.g.

      function SayHello()
      {
      alert("Hello");
      }

      and

      btnLast.Attribu tes.Add("onclic k", "SayHello() ;");

      Does that help...?

      3) Have you inadvertently turned JavaScript off in your browser...?

          I did have semicolons - I didn't type it right here. I know the
          ..attributes.ad d and the function itself work because it works when the
          function is in the aspx page. It just doen't work when I put it in the
          file. I also did try to reference it direclty.

          Is there something needed at the top of the .js file?
          Do I use RegisterClientS criptInclude or RegisterClientS criptBlock?

          Also, and I know this probably doesn't matter, but... I'm using Visual
          Studio 2005. I added the page using Add New Item - JScript File (There is
          no "JavaScript " file choice.) This shouldn't make a difference because it's
          just a text file with a .js extension, right? (he asked hopefully).

          Thanks.
