    How can we call a javascript function present in another jsp file.?

    <script type="text.java script" src="/NewPrototype/jsp/caldata.jsp"></script>

    I am trying to call javascript function named( show() ) from index.jsp which is present in caldata.jsp but it is not calling that function.

    How we can call a function which is present in script of another jsp page?

      maybe this works
      Code:
      <script type="text/javascript" src="/NewPrototype/jsp/caldata.jsp"></script>
      otherwise consult the error console.

              check if you can manually call the JavaScript file in the browser (via address bar).

                  As you suggested i manually called that jsp page where javascript is present it is displaying the content.
                  To get better idea of what I am doing, I am posting code which is in complete..
                  in index.jsp

                  Code:
                  <A HREF="javascript:void(null);" onclick="showFilterChoices('Language');">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/NewPrototype/jsp/caldata.jsp"></script>
                  in caldata.jsp
                  i have defined showFilterChoic es function like this

                  Code:
                  <script type="text/javascript">
function showFilterChoices( whichFilter )
{
}
   </script>
                  What may be the error here?

                      external JavaScript files do not use <script> tags (that is for HTML pages to denote a JS section).

                      your JSP file should send a javascript header.

                      I suppose your function is not empty in reality.

                              sorry, I’m not a Java guy. I could tell you how to do it in PHP though …

                              that means, you include an entire HTML page via <script>? no wonder it doesn’t work …

                              an external JavaScript file must only contain pure JavaScript code. that is, no tags around it.
