I'd suggest you use 'absolute' links in your incldues so that it always works out where things are from the root so you'd want: /javascript/my_javascript.js rather than: ../javascript/my_javascript.js or: javascript/my_javascript.js ___________________ Emps The Emperor dot org

I'd suggest you use 'absolute' links in your incldues so that it always works out where things are from the root so you'd want:

/javascript/my_javascript.js

rather than:

../javascript/my_javascript.js

or:

javascript/my_javascript.js

Well, the code is as follows. First, your regular link to an external JS file.

code:

<SCRIPT SRC="scripts.js" LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"></SCRIPT>

The header.php looks like this:

code:

<html>

<head>

<title><?php echo "$title"; ?></title>



<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

<SCRIPT SRC="scripts.js" LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"></SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>

My header content here

The index.php is this:

code:

<?php $title = "My Title Here"; ?>

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/header.php");?>

My Content Here

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/footer.php"); ?>

And at last we have the footer:

code:

My Footer Content Here

</body>

</html>

The only thing I can think of is that the JS file is not parsed like it should be when using PHP templates. The include is in the root directory.
