JavaScript: Using External *.js Files

Use external JavaScript files (*.js) files when you want to separate lengthy JavaScript routines from HTML. This is a convenience for the programmer.

The following HTML demonstrates usage and syntax:

&lt;HTML&gt;
&lt;HEAD&gt;
    &lt;TITLE&gt;js test&lt;/TITLE&gt;
    &lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; SRC=&quot;module.js&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/SCRIPT&gt;
&lt;/HEAD&gt;

&lt;/HTML&gt;

where the following content is in a text file called module.js:

//
// (c)1998 Bryan Wilhite
// All rights reserved.
// rasx@kintespace.com
//
// This JavaScript file kicks much ass.
//
alert(&quot;hello&quot;)
