I'm glad you got things squared away.  In future, posting a url to your 
page would help us provide more relevant answers.  The service you 
referred to is interesting, but potentially dangerous for new web 
coders.  All it cares about is file count and file size.  These are 
somewhat important on the web, but are not the primary issue.  It is 
more important for html to be semantic and well laid out than small.  
It is more important for your javascript to be clear and maintainable.  
In short, file size and count is always secondary to other concerns.  
In cases where you are worried about size, enable your web server's 
compression feature.
