what's the minor version number? anything older than 3.02/32bit doesn't
support external javascript files. none of the 16bit versions support them
as far as i remember.

yup, cause ie3 isn't loading the external file. so, to it, the function is
undefined.

none of the above. it's a support issue. ie3 simply doesn't support
external javascript files. fwiw, neither does nn2.0. that's because
external files were introduced in js1.1.
don't worry, there's a solution and an article detailing it:
