    Cannot use includes

    Hello:

    I've just asked a question about the includes, and I appreciate your help
    very much.

    However, this still doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong?

    I have a script that should go tho the <HEAD> tag:

    <SCRIPT language="JavaS cript">
    // <!-- Main
    function banners()
    {
    this[1]="http://www.url.com";
    this[2]="banners/bann1.gif";
    this[3]="http://www.url.com";
    this[4]="banners/bann2.gif";
    this[5]="http://www.url.com";
    this[6]="banners/bann3.gif";

    if ((navigator.app Name == "Netscape") &&
    (parseInt(navig ator.appVersion .substring(0,1) ) < 3)) { return(' '); }
    var j=(new Date()).getSeco nds() % 3;
    document.write( '<a href=' + this[2*j+1] + ' target=blank><i mg src=' +
    this[2*j+2] + ' border=0 width=520 height=60></a>');
    return(' ');
    }
    // -->
    </SCRIPT>

    This script goes to <BODY>:

    <SCRIPT language="JavaS cript">
    // <!-- Main
    banners();
    // -->
    </SCRIPT>

    When I insert this script to the page itself - it works great. However, if I
    put the HEAD protion of the script into a file banners.js, put this file
    into the same directory as the page itself, then add this line to the <HEAD>
    tag (or <BODY>, doesn't work anyway):

    <script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript"
    src="banners.js "></script>

    - nothing works.

    What's wrong?

    I would appreciate your advice.

    Thank you,

    --

      Are you leaving the <script> and </script> tags in your included file?
      If you are, don't.

          Yes, you're correct. Thank you, Hywel, it works now.

              Obviously you do not understand what is happening. In that case, you
              should simplify things until you do understand; it reduces the number of
              possibilities.

              Your code manifestly envisages differences between browsers; but
              you do not say what browser you used for the failing test.


              Use the line var Test = 7 as the *sole* contents
              of your include file; and alert(Test) as the
              *sole* script in a *minimal* HTML page.

              If you can't get that to work, even after reading <URL:http://www.merlyn
              ..demon.co.uk/js-nclds.htm#OV>, then post the entire contents of both
              *minimal* files here.


              <SCRIPT language="JavaS cript">
              should be
              <script type="text/javascript">

              Indent your code so that its structure is clear, and ensure that it
              neither is nor appears to be line-wrapped by your news software.
