Im trying to use a .js file to store text that will be displayed in a small window. I tried to do a test in a regular window but i keep getting an error saying that my external variable is undefined. what am i doing wrong.
Below are the two files.
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<SCRIPT LANUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="mytext.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var mytext = text;
-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<SCRIPT LANUAGE="JavaScript" >
<!--
document.write(mytext);
-->
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>
mytext.js (External .js file)
<!-- hide script from old browsers
var text ="this is the text that should be inserted into the window whenever This source file is called lets see if it works";
// end hiding script from old browsers -->
please can someone help.

Try taking the comments out of the .js file, and making it just the one line with your variable declaration:
---
var text ="this is the text that should be inserted into the window whenever This source file is called lets see if it works";
---

John,
leerie has solved this problem. He'd posted the query in another thread. He realised that he'd given the js file a .js.txt file extension.
