JavaScript Handler?

lankymart · February 5th, 2006, 5:21 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to use JavaScript in a PHP page, so far when I embed the script in the file my code works but I want to hold the JavaScript in another file and use src attribute of the script tag to point it to the remote file. The file exists in a separate sub domain would this stop it working?
Also when I type the full address of the js file into a browser (firefox) it shows the file as text on the screen instead of asking me if I want to download the file, is this normal?
Is this perhaps a problem with my mime types or something similar?

Please help.

I use JavaScript files with PHP all the time. Make sure you're including the JavaScript file like so:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="link/to/file"></script>

I can't imagine the subdomain to be an issue unless there's some sort of remote blocking on the subdomain. And it is common, depending on the browser, to show the JavaScript rather than prompt for a download.

I have included the JavaScript as you have stated but it does not appear to be firing, unlike when I place it straight into the page.

All looks to be ok... I can't figure out why it wouldn't be working. But just out of curiousity, is there anything to show that it has or hasn't worked?

It turns out to be a typo in my code, man I feel so stupid. I restored my script from backup and forgot to make certain changes to it.

Thank you again for all your help.
