OK, so I added a link to an external JS file in my header.php. Big surprise, it does not work. When I call on the index.php file my JS scripts do not show up. What am I doing wrong?

The Jackal: Can we see some code or something?

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.
