    XP access to .js?

    Hi,
    I am told to form an external javascript, so I form a text file and end
    it with .js. (jxt1.js) This script is very simple:
    function a_message()
    {
    alert('I came from an external script! Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!');
    }
    Next, I form a HTML page which is supposed to access that external .js!
    Between the heads, I type:
    <SCRIPT language="JavaS cript" SRC="jxt1.js"></SCRIPT>

    So, I'm supposed to be all set up. When I access the page, nothing happens.
    When I click on the script.js, to see it and edit it, nothing happens. My
    question is how do i run an external javascript and click on it to view and
    edit it when my OS is XP Pro? I know this seems very basic but please
    answer.

          In the js you have and only:

          function a_message()
          {
          alert('I came from an external script! Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!');
          }

          In your html you have:

          <!-- testjs.htm -->
          <html>
          <head>
          <script language="JavaS cript" src="jxt1.js"></script>
          </head>
          <body>
          <script language="Javas cript">
          a_message();
          </script>
          </body>
          </html>

          Both located in the same area. Then you browse to testjs.htm.

              Thanks John and George. Sometimes you can't see the forest through the
              trees. Of course I didn't call it. To view/edit the .js, all I had to do
              was right-click the .js file and "always open with" (textpad.exe)

              I can now create a .js and pages that access that .js. That's all I
              wanted. I can obviously do the rest. Thanks!

                  you miss to assign the onload event to thet function

                  <body>
                  <body onload = "a_message( )">
                  </body>
