Newbie Problem with External Javascript

[prgmrgirl]

Hi there,

I'm having a strange problem running a simple piece of javascript. When I run embed it in the html file, it works fine. When I move the code to an external file and call it, nothing appears on the page.

The code that in the javascript file is simply

document.write("This line is written from an external source.")

And I am calling it like this:

<script language="javascript" src="ExternalFile.js"></script>

Am I calling it incorrectly? I'm confused....

Many thanks for any help.

By any chance do you have <script> tags in your external file? It should not have them.

The complete contents of External.js

Not this

<script>
document.write("This line is written from an external source.");
</script>

But this

document.write("This line is written from an external source.");

Thanks for your reply! I discovered that I had accidently used document.Write (with a capital 'W') and not document.write. D'oh!

It's hard to distinguish caps in notepad! =P

thanks again!
