    newbie: problem with calling or including .js file

    Hello,
    I am learning WWW technologies in Linux. I created index.html file which I
    can browse with Firefox/Konqueror using URL
    localhost/~robert/rozgloszenia/index.html. The page looks fine but there's
    one strange problem: I have written some JavaScript code in functions.js
    file which seems to be ignored when called although I have JavaScript
    enabled in Firefox/Konqueror.

    For example in functions.js I have:

    function getCurrentYear( )
    {
    var today = Date();
    return today.getFullYe ar();
    }

    I have written:

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

    and then I have:

    <script language="javas cript"
    type="text/javascript">doc ument.write(get CurrentDate()); </script>

    There's nothing in oputput.

    When I have written simple line:

    <script language="javas cript"
    type="text/javascript">doc ument.write('AB C');</script>

    output is correct (ABC characters).
    But when I put document.write( 'ABC'); in Test() function in functions.js and
    call it:

    <script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">Tes t();</script>

    then there's nothing in output.

    The file functions.js has -rw-rw-r-- priviledges.

    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

      Hi,

      I am also a Linux user and have found out that most users of this
      newsgroup are not. The people here are usually very helpful but you
      need to first identify whether you have a Linux problem, for instance
      a permissions problem, or a HTML/Javascript problem.

      The easiest way to do this would be to post your index.html and
      functions.js files on a server where the newsgroup users can access
      them with their own browsers. If the problem is a Javasript (or HTML)
      problem they will help you.

      Regards,

      Steve.

          and calling the file by :
          file://localhost/Users/robert/getCurrentYear/index.html
          or something like that
          (to see if it's really a pb of privileges)
          For example in functions.js I have:
          >
          function getCurrentYear( )
          {
          var today = Date();

          could be better with : document.write( getCurrentYear( ));
          no ?

              Debugging steps you can take:

              1. Check your web server's logs: is the *.js file actually requested? Is
              it served successfully?

              2. Check Firefox's JavaScript console (Tools menu)

              3. Get the Firebug extension for Firefox.
              <script src="functions. js" language="javas cript"
              type="text/javascript"></script>
              BTW, the language attribute is deprecated. I suppose you don't validate
              your HTML with W3C validator: you should. Extensions like Web Developer
              Toolbar for Firefox can help you to validate local HTML or you can just
              paste or upload the file:

              The W3C Markup Validation Service
              http://validator.w3.org/
              W3C's easy-to-use markup validation service, based on SGML and XML parsers.

                  I also notice that your function defined in the .js file is named
                  getCurrentYear, yet the one you're attempting to call is
                  getCurrentDate. ..

                  Do you have Firebug or Venkeman installed on your Firefox
                  installation? It would show if there were any javascript errors.
