Moving code into another file

[Doug Stewart]

I need help moving code from a web page into an external file. Here is the
background:

- I've taken the code for a software package, modified it, then pasted it
into my web page.

- It works fine, but complicates the HTML on-page, so I would like to move
it into a separate file. I've taken the code as-is and put it into a file
(called search_english.js), then put the following onto my web page:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"
src="http://www.my-domain.com/search_english.js"></script>


When I upload the page, it doesn't seem to be able to find the code in the
JS file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Not sure if I need to put anything special at the begining or the end of the
JS file. My JS file begins with the following code (which produces a form to
do a search on a database):

<form method=get
action="http://www.france-property-and-information.com/listman/exec/search.cgi">
<font color="#808000">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="1" style="font-weight: 700">
<input type="hidden" name="perpage" value="10" style="font-weight: 700">
</font><b><font color="#808000">


etc. etc. etc.



and ends with:

</select><b> </b></font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p>
<div align=center>
<font color="#808000">
<input type=submit name="search" value="Find Properties "
style="font-weight: 700"><b>
</b></font>
</div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>


<p> </p>

</body></html>

</form>

Your problem is that JC is looking for the file on www.my-domain.com

If the file is in the same folder,
change this
src="http://www.my-domain.com/search_english.js"
to this
src="search_english.js"

...PC

Tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, still doesn't work.

Maybe I'm making a logical error. I'm not sure if the code I'm using is Java
Script or HTML. Does this approach work with HTML? Do I need to put something
at the beginning or end of the code for this to work (I've shown the start
and end of the code in my original posting)?

The code you posted (starting with <form method=...) is not JavaScript
- its Html
a .js file can not include Html unless you have JavaScript document writes generating it
