Linking to Java Script

[ChilliBoy]

Is it possible to link to javascript held within another file, in a similar way to linking to external CSS?

I understand that the 'calls must be in place in the html etc', but it would make things much easier if I could have one external 'common JavaScript file'.

If it is possible could someone give me an example of the correct method of doing this - eg and example for a link to a CSS file would be this:


What is the equivilent for JS? - If possible.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/standardstyles.css">
-->
</style>

Cheers in advance

First off, your CSS example is incorrect. All of the lines in red should be removed, and the attribute in blue should be added.

<style type="text/css"> 
<!--
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/standardstyles.css"> 
--> 
</style>

The equivalent for external JavaScript files is as follows:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="scriptfile.js"></script>

You can place alternate content (to be displayed if the browser does not support JavaScript) between the <script> and </script> tags if you wish.

Note that scriptfile.js should just contain JavaScript. No <script> tags or <!-- html comments -->.
