Help with linked in Javascript File

[sfowler]

I have tried on multiple occasions to create and link in external .js files. It never works. Here is the latest attempt.

I would like to include the CalendarPopup.js from here.

I saved the file into a subdirectory called "js".

I then tried to use this line to include it.

<script type="type/javascript" src="js/CalendarPopup.js"></script>

I also tried the same thing with language="JavaScript" instead of type="text/javascript" and it did not work either.

Is there something inherently wrong with the way I'm going about this? Or are there settings in IE and/or Firefox that do not allow this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried both type and language at the same time?

[sfowler]

I just tried it that way, no go.

I just looked at the code, it appears you are mean't to separate it into a few different files. Date.js Anchor.js, etc. It says so in the code.

Have you tried both type and language at the same time?

the language attribute has been depreciated and should never be used

[TimFA]

Either way it was worth a shot.

I didn't split the files. I saved the combined file version. Linked it in and tried to call the functions and objects from it and it hates me. Is there something wrong with the script tags that I used? Are there settings on Apache or in the browser that would stop this type of linking? I am at a complete loss.

I see nowhere is says it doesn't need to be seperated. Or atleast remove the text, I just skimmed it, but wasn't some of it not in comment tags?

[Master_script_maker]

when you save an external .js file make sure you remove the

<script type="text/Javascript"></script>

from the file

	for (var i=0; i<checkList.length; i++) {
		var l=window[checkList[i]];
		for (var j=0; j<l.length; j++) {
			d=getDateFromFormat(val,l[j]);
			if (d!=0) { return new Date(d); }
			}
		}
	return null;
	}

DESCRIPTION: This object allows you to easily and quickly popup a window
in a certain place. The window can either be a DIV or a separate browser
window.

COMPATABILITY: Works with Netscape 4.x, 6.x, IE 5.x on Windows. Some small
positioning errors - usually with Window positioning - occur on the 
Macintosh platform. Due to bugs in Netscape 4.x, populating the popup 
window with <STYLE> tags may cause errors.

USAGE:
// Create an object for a WINDOW popup
var win = new PopupWindow(); 

// Create an object for a DIV window using the DIV named 'mydiv'
var win = new PopupWindow('mydiv'); 

// Set the window to automatically hide itself when the user clicks 
// anywhere else on the page except the popup
win.autoHide();

That is what I was referring to. If its not removed, it will not work. Unless I'm missing something...
