Javascript SRC in head of HTML not working.

Posted 04 October 2006 - 01:43 PM

Im making a Javascript Hangman, and i'm trying to use a library to store all of my functions. In the head of the index page, i have this:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
	src="hangman.js";
</script>
<title>Hangman</title>
</head>


Inside the hangman.js file, I have this line:

function makeWord()


When I try to call the function (which generates a random integer, and then picks a word from many based on the number), the editor (and Firefox) tell me that in the call line,

 word = makeWord();


"makeWord is not defined"...have I done something wrong???

Is This A Good Question/Topic? 0

Your problem is here:
<script type="text/javascript">
	src="hangman.js";
</script>


Source should be inside the script tag, not between the script tags.

<script type="text/javascript" src="hangman.js">	
</script>


Also, please post HTML/Javascript questions in the HTML/CSS/Javascript forum. Thanks.

Someone want to move this to the proper forum. Thanks.
