Javscript problem

[Brian Nguyen]

Hi,
I am sorry to put my topic here but I think it's almost related to JSP . Here is the problem:
I define a javascript function in test.js file:
function testAlert(){
alert("testAlert");
}
In one of my html file callAlert.html, I call the function in the following:
< script src="test.js" > testAlert();
< /script >
How come that my callAlert.html doesn't pop up the alert?
Thanks,
Brian

You're wrong, sorry. Definitely a JavaScript problem
Have you tried putting the method call in its own script tags? I've never seen it done the way you are doing it...

<script src="test.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
testAlert();
</script>

hi brian,
alreaday in your java script file, you have a method. right.
In your html file,----
< script src="test.js" > testAlert();
< /script >
---don't know weather it is right or wrong, but
as far as I know,
you need not mention the method name, instead, you just say
< script src="test.js" >< /script >
in your html file and call the method.
good luck.
