The files should at least be world readable.

JavaScript is run client side, so you need whatever permissions are needed
for your httpd to read the .js file. At a minimum this will be 400.

perhaps you'll allow me to ask a follow up?

i have a function in javascript, works beutifully....n othing more than
setting a cookie....when the script is laid out in the head of the html, all
is cool! in the body section i just do an onload...and eveything works...

but when i move the function source to my server and replace it with

<SCRIPT language="JavaS cript" SRC="FULLPATHNA ME"></SCRIPT>

then the browser hits me with :

Error: Object Expected...on the line where i call the function....doe sn't
matter what the permissions are....and the file is saved in pure text, with
the extention 'js'.....any ideas?

thanks ahead (code follows below)

when i have this in the head:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">
function SetCookie (name, value)
{
var argv = SetCookie.argum ents;
var argc = SetCookie.argum ents.length;
var expires = (argc > 2) ? argv[2] : null;
var path = (argc > 3) ? argv[3] : null;
var domain = (argc > 4) ? argv[4] : null;
var secure = (argc > 5) ? argv[5] : false;
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape (value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : ("; expires=" +
expires.toGMTSt ring())) +
((path == null) ? "" : ("; path=" + path)) +
((domain == null) ? "" : ("; domain=" + domain)) +
((secure == true) ? "; secure" : "");
}
</SCRIPT>

then this works! <body onload="SetCook ie('IsCrumb', 'true');"
bgcolor="#EEEEF F" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#660033"
background="">

but the moment i replace the sourcecode with

<SCRIPT language="JavaS cript"
SRC="http://www.mywebsiteex maple.com/cgi-bin/jsSetCookie.js" ></SCRIPT>

the error occurs....!!!!! !!

Do you remove the <SCRIPT ...> </SCRIPT> tags when you move the code into the
external js file?

Also, the language attribute is deprecated, use <script type="text/javascript">
instead.

so i was told that netscape has much better debugging features for
circumsstances like this...so i downloaded it, and it runs it
perfectly....so i went back to IE and turned all privacy and all security
features to as LOW as i coudl set them...and still! IE gives me the
error...

now i am even more stumped.....

yes, it is JUST the fucntion

and now based on yoru recommendation i tried it with : <script
type="text/javascript">

still same error....

i have sat there and poured over the path again and again to make sure i
made it right....but if you look at the follow up post i made minutes before
your hit, you'll see that it ALWAYS works in NETSCAPE!

still puzzled,

daniel
