No, there should be no scope problem. Be aware that when moving inline
JavaScript to an external file, you shouldn't include the <script></script>
tags, nor should you include any HTML (such as comments ).

Are the function calls generating any errors (to check, double-click the yellow
! in the bottom left corner of IE, or use Tools -> Web Development ->
JavaScript Console in Mozilla).
