[Javascript] Javascript include problem?

Sat Oct 2 10:36:41 CDT 2010

Not sure on PHP (I'm a ASP.NET guy) but it sounds like you are still not
understanding what John was suggesting (note I'm a different John)

Your JavaScript file (.js) will contain only JavaScript, absolutely no
html markup nor should any PHP be present. Of course you can bury anything
in comments. Inside the js file there are no <script> tags all this is
handled elsewhere in the 'process'. For example let's pretend the next few
lines between the words begin and end are the .js file, Note begin and end
are NOT part of the file just provided to make it easier to read:
begin 

function helloJason() {
      alert('Hello Jason!') ;
    }

end

only what is between begin and end is our Jason.js file

In your html

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="Jason.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" id="hello-world2" value="Hello"
onClick="helloJason();" />
</body>
</html>

Clear as mud right :-)
