I am attempting to get most of the javascripts in the html of my site into external files (ina directory on my site). The process seems fairly straigtfoward when there is a single script in the head or body - you just create a script with a url path leading to the external file (a page with the actual script with a .js extention).

But some of my scripts have a section in the head section, and then a corresponding section in the body snippet. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems like the script snippet in the body section somehow calls the script in the head section. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to get these type of javascripts into external file?

Do I just create a external file for the javascript section in the head, or do I do this just for the section in the body, or... can I create external files for both of the scripts locinted in the head and body? Thanks for any suggestions.

You should be fine referring to external JS wherever you put the script.

All i can suggest is 'Sucking it and seeing' Ie: Give it a try.

And if the script is a outside the domain as the counters, is that possible to put it out side the html in a external .js???

xela1966 - I've been able to pull external scripts from other domains before, so my quess is that it will work. I used scripts like this to trigger popups.

I'm still wondering if a script has a head and body section, which section can be the external .js file, the head section, the body section, or both? I'll keep experimenting, but pelase let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

Normally putting JS outside of your domain will cause problems due to cross site scripting.

But ive had "mostly" good success with CSS issues.

I think CSS only really comes into play when you try to load external cab / jar files from a domain not local to the page.
