    a newby question

    hi, i´m starting to use javascript in my web, and i have a quite simple
    question:
    how can i call to a function which is in another .js file, giving it some
    parameters and receiving some data??
    i only knew
    <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js"></script>

    Thanks

      exactly the same way as if function were in file you're calling function
      from.. as long as JavaScript knows where to find the .js file it'll
      find the function.. goog luck.. Frances

              If the function is in file.js, you include the line above, and
              then, in a separate <script> tag, invoke the function with your
              parameters. So if the function is myFunction(str) , you could use:

              <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js"></script>
              <script type="text/javascript">
              myFunction("Hel lo, world!");
              </script>

                  Yes.
                  As long as the JavaScript is in the same web-page as the one that calls
                  it, it doesn't matter where in the page it is or how it gets there (in
                  other words, it can be written in the page or loaded from one or more
                  files). Many people put different "snippets" of JavaScript in different
                  files - I do myself - and then load them into pages where that snippet
                  is to be used.
