[Javascript] How to call scripts that are all in one file...?

[Cutter]

Jonathan,

Sounds like you need to learn a little about functions and how they're 
written. JS written within an external file, and called in the fashion 
you described, would run in the same basic manner as it would if it sat 
between a pair of <script> tags on your page.

    <!--\\ This code would pop up a message as soon
   // as the browser began to parse it, whether within
   // a pair of tags or from an externally linked .js file
    var myVar = "Hello World";
    alert(myVar);

    <!--\\ This code would have to be called by it's
    // name before it would execute
    function callMe(){
        var myVar = '867-5309';
        alert(myVar);
    }

    <!-- and later in your html -->
    <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="callMe();">Call Me</a>

Hope this helps you as you review the four files of js that you have.
