[Javascript] Beginner's question

Sat Jan 28 13:58:42 CST 2006

When javascript is included from an external file it works as if it were
inside the page you are loading it because it actually is. The script is
linked into the file before processing starts and all functions are then
referenced as if they were included in the html page calling them.

If the shortcut you are talking about contains code like
"javascript:Function("Test");" well the function only exists inside the page
that is calling it and copying the shortcut out and trying to execute it
will not work.
