I am trying to run two scripts on the front page

I am trying to run a menu script and a scroller script on the same page. page was working fine when I have just menu on it or just scroller on it. Minute I add second script in the header the menu quits. What do I do?

here is <head> script one:
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/browser.js">
/***********************************************
* Jim's DHTML Menu v5.7- © Jim Salyer (jsalyer@REMOVETHISmchsi.com)
* Visit Dynamic Drive: http://www.dynamicdrive.com for script and instructions
* This notice must stay intact for use
***********************************************/
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="config.js"></script>

here is <head> script two:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="ajlib.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="ajscroller.js"></script>

Please, I do not know a thing about Java.. can someone help me figure this out, please? thanks in advance.. PCL

Note: Questions regarding multiple script usage are not usually replied to due to their time consuming nature. See this thread for more information, and this tutorial for one possible solution.

Thanks for the help in pointing me in a direction!

I had no idea where to even start. I have all the time in the world, and am glad to do it myself. I just had no idea where to even start. Thanks for taking the time to "show me the way". I really appreciate it very much. s

I am also successfully running more than one javascript on an html page..
If you review the code posted below, you'll see How I call each of the scripts..

Code:

<html> <head><title>Welcome to PSP Embroidery!</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" > if (document.images) { var boardNum = 0; var boardSpeed = 2000; // Create an array of images for the billboard var billboard = new Array(); billboard[0] = new Image(); billboard[0].src = "zsk-intl.jpg"; billboard[1] = new Image(); billboard[1].src = "ginko.gif"; billboard[2] = new Image(); billboard[2].src = "squirrel_logo.gif"; // Create an array of URLs that correspond to the images var url = new Array(); url[0] = "http://www.zsk.com"; url[1] = "http://www.strawberrystitch.com/shop/GD-Sales.html"; url[2] = "http://www.gonutsgocreative.com/home/default.asp"; } // Function to rotate the images on the billboard function rotateBoard() { if (boardNum < (billboard.length - 1)) { boardNum++; } else { boardNum = 0; } document.billboard.src = billboard[boardNum].src; setTimeout('rotateBoard()', boardSpeed); } // Function to load the appropriate URL when the user clicks on an image function jumpBillboard() { window.location = url[boardNum]; } </script> <SCRIPT SRC=ban1_rotate.js LANGUAGE= JAVASCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"> </SCRIPT> </head> <body BACKGROUND="scotch.bmp" onLoad="rotate();if (document.images) setTimeout('rotateBoard()', boardSpeed);">

See, one of the critical things is that you enclose your individual scripts within their respective <script></script> tags, and that you handle the call to the functions properly within the <BODY> tag, like above!

Good Luck!
