Preserved Topic: Importing javascript like a stylesheet.

I am cleaning up the coding on my site, and wondered if it is possible to save a mouseover script in the same way as you do with stylesheets. I have the same interface on all my pages, and the script is exactly the same on every page. Is it possible to have the script on only one of the pages, and link to it on the another pages?

Anyone know?

Copy and paste the code into a program like notepad, and save it as code.txt or something that you can easily identify, but make shure it has a .txt extention. upload the file to your server

Then on your page(s) where you want the code place this <!--#include virtual="name_of_file_here.txt" -->

Upload your page(s), and go view them. where you put that code you should see whatever the code is supposed to make. For example a javascript rollover. Also you need server side includes enabled.

Another benefit to this method it that all you have to do is madify the code in the one file and all of your pages are modified whithout uploading them again. You still have to re-upload the text file.

Thaks a lot. That was the answer I was hoping for. Finally my coding will look nice <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

why use include when you could use the .js extention and call it from that.

Please explain. I tried saving the script as a JS file and do I that way, but it did'nt work. At least not in Frontpage. Maybe it would work from the server.

Do I still need Server sides includes Enabled. It is disabled at the moment.

you have to call out the js file from the <SCRIPT> tag I think... sonething similar to

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" SRC="your script.js">

I also think you still need to add a ONLOAD to your body tag...

there must be someone else here who can help you further...

this method I think is more straight forward than SSI

sorry not to be able to be more helpful as I am on the same kind off learning curve!

Figured it out. Thanks for the help.

the correct code is:
<script language="JavaScript" src="your_file.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

thanks Mario.. I knew it was something llke that!
