internal js and external .js

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 21.2004

I am trying to get a page to use js that is in its own head section, and some that is in a js file, what I have looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd“>
<html>
<head>
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/JavaScript” src=”jsfile.js”>
function somefunction()
</script>
</head>
<body>

I cant get the js in the head section to work, when the file is linked, seams like it completly ignores the js in the head.

@JPnycDec 21.2004 — Make em separate script tags. You can't both link to an external, and include a function, in the same set of script tags.

@CharlesDec 21.2004 — Also,

  • * A TITLE element is required in all versions of HTML.


  • * You need to specify the character encoding.


  • * The SCRIPT element does not take a "language" attribute in HTML 4.01 Strict.


  • * Your DOCTYPE has the public identifier for 4.01 transitional but the system identifier for 4.01 strict.


    • [font=monopace]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[/font]
