Open in browser but only get code

Kennrosie · Nov 30, 2005

This is my first try at java script:

I put the following into notepad and saved as test.js:

<html>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!")
</script>

</body>
</html>

When I try to open this file in my browser, I only get this code back and not "Hello World"

you only need to save a javascript file as .js if the ONLY CODE it has in it is javascript.

the following scenarios produce the same result:

test.html

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function doSomething() {
    document.write("Hello World!");
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
doSomething();
</script>

</body>
</html>

OR

test.html

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
doSomething();
</script>

</body>
</html>

test.js

Code:

function doSomething() {
    document.write("Hello World!");
}

hope this helps...

If you check the first answer from cLFlaVA, I think you'll find that had already been suggested...
