    How to create JS includes

    Hello,

    This should be a simple question to anyone who knows JavaScript, but I'm new
    to it.

    I have a JavaScript that I need to use in many pages. How do I create JS
    includes?

    I tried the standard method - created a text file, then includud it like
    this:

    <!-------------#Include File="includes/js.txt"------------------->

    but this did't work for me.

    I would appreciate your advice.

    Thank you,

      Peter this is how:

      <html>
      <head>
      <title>Test!</title>
      <!-- now include script tag with src attribute pointing to -->
      <!-- to your script -->
      <script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript" src="test.js">
      <!-- //

      // -->
      </script>
      </head>
      <body>
      Hello World!
      </body>
      </html>

          Thank you!

          I assume that test.js is just a text file that I assign a "js" extension,
          correct?

              That is correct.

                      A nice bare-bones example. Two remarks on the side: The script element has
                      no language attribute. It may have had one in the past, but that is history.
                      To reduce unnecessary webtraffic and in order to "validate", you should
                      remove the portion which reads <... language="javas cript" ...> from the
                      script tag. Also, the custom of hiding script from older browsers by
                      encapsulating the script's content in <!-- --> SGML comments is obsolete.
                      These "older browsers" that do not know about the script tag, are history
                      too.

                      You can also make the src point to a script on another website. Socalled
                      hit-counters often do this. Simply by entering the whole address, including
                      http protocol. Just be aware that cross-domain security restrictions apply.

                      As a last remark, a script element that has a src defined, will ignore any
                      content inside the tag itself. Only if the source file is not found or there
                      some other error loading the external script, will the engine consider and
                      execute any script hardcoded inside the tag.

                      HTH

                          Bearing in mind where much system software is written, you should not
                          expect just one standard for anything.

                              You are here making the assumption that the script will be read only by
                              browsers; that is no more than an assumption.

                              The master copies of my own web pages are most frequently read by a
                              tool, CHEKLINX, which is affected by seeing these comment delimiters;
                              without them, the normally-satisfactory javascript if (b<a) needs
                              to be re-written as if (b< a) or if (b < a ) .
