load javascript file

[VanHype]

i am using the following code:

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="pwd1.js">

which should take this peice of coding:

Code: Select all

<script language="Javascript">

<!--

var password = "password"
var x = prompt("Enter in the password "," ")
if (x.toLowerCase() == password) {
alert("Password correct \n \n Click OK to proceed")
location = "results.html"
}

else {
location = "incorrect.html"
}

//-->

</script>

it is going in the head of the page, basically it will bring up a prompt box wher the user will be required to insert a set password to proceed...

the code isnt doing what it should be, i dont get a prompt box appear, just a page with background...

can anyone help

I don't understand what you're doing? You're linking to an external file, yet you say that the JavaScript is in the head?

Please clarify what you have currently or post a link?

I believe he means he's putting the

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="pwd1.js">

Into the head but the JS code isn't working.
The JS code seems fine i guess, but try changing it to

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/js/pwd1.js">

It might just be because your not pointing it to the right directory.
/js/ being a folder new folder name where the script is held.

also, you need to use window.location = "..."

call me daft - but why are there script tags around JavaScript in an external file?

[josephman1988]

That's what I was wondering, useless .. but as it doesn't effect the script .. meh.

[snow]

to my mind the tags should break it, as they're not vaid JavaScript?

[spinal007]

what? the tags are on the external file? non-sense.
That's an error, script will not run...
