This seems like it should be a simple thing, but it’s turning out to be frustrating. I’m a complete newb to javascript. But the principle should be the same as other scripts. I have a function in ‘javaFunc.js’, and this file is in the same directory as the index.html file that’s calling it. But it’s not working. Here’s my code:
html file:
[code=php]
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> TEST PIC </TITLE>
<SCRIPT language=”JavaScript” SRC=”javaFunc.js”></SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
</HTML>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT language=”JavaScript”>
check_plugin();
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
and the function in the javaFunc.js file is this:
[code=php]
function check_plugin() {
var MM_contentVersion = 6;
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes[“application/x-shockwave-flash”]) ? navigator.mimeTypes[“application/x-shockwave-flash”].enabledPlugin : 0;
document.write(‘plugin’);
if (plugin) {
var words = navigator.plugins[“Shockwave Flash”].description.split(” “);
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
{
if (isNaN(parseInt(words[i])))
continue;
var MM_PluginVersion = words[i];
}
var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
}
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf(“MSIE”)>=0
&& (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(“Win”) != -1)) {
document.write(‘<scr’ + ‘ipt language=VBScript> n’); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag
document.write(‘on error resume next n’);
document.write(‘MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject(“ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.” & MM_contentVersion)))n’);
document.write(‘</scr’ + ‘ipt> n’);
}
if (MM_FlashCanPlay) {
document.write(‘//PUT YOUR FLASH/SWF HTML SOURCE HERE’);
}
else {
document.write(‘Sorry, but you need the flash plugin to view this’);
}
}
This doesn’t do anything but print out a few things (cause i’m still working on it, obviously) but it works fine if I put the function in the html page itself, instead of trying to call it from an external file. Before you ask, the file is there. Is there something I’m missing? For my own reasons, I’d rather have it in an external file, and not on the html page itself.
Thanks for any help,
