Der jeevan,

Without seeing your code this is just a guess. Try putting the code that is in crescendo.js inside a function like this:

// file crescendo.js
function doCrescendo(){

// existing code
}

Now in your page do this:
<Script language="javascript" src="crescendo.js">
</script>

<body>
..... blah blah bunch of HTML etc.
</body>
</html>

<script language="javascript">

</script>

Hope this helps
-pete

one thing i have done is to include my javascript include file like this:

<HTML>
<BODY>
etc.....

also, make sure the include file has beginning and ending script tags in it
