Central Javascript function file

[Susan]

Hi all,

I have several books on Javascript and, although they mention placing frequently used script
functions in a central file and calling them from, there they don't explain how to call them.

Can someone explain how I can call separate functions from a .js file that contains several
functions from different webpages as they are needed?

I've tried to do on my own it with no success.

TIA,

Susan

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

Functions in a .js file work exactely as they do inline.
function xxx(parm) {
statements
}

To call say "xxx(parm)"

I would not recommend putting all functions in one .js file since the
entire file is downloaded even if only one function is used. Group by
application.

See <URL:http://www.merlyn.demo n.co.uk/js-nclds.htm>.

NOTE that, while an include file will probably contain mostly functions,
it can contain any javascript, for example declarations and ordinary
statements. It should probably contain at least a little comment, at
least in the master copy.
