If I have some code between <script></script> tags that is visible in the source code. I can place that as a external script but how will the form know how to read the script ?

the form doesn’t, and it doesn’t need to. when the parser engine of the browser comes to the <script> tag (while loading the page) it reads its content. whether that is inline code or an external file doesn’t matter.

I copied the code out of the page, placed it into a external file. Placed the external file within script tags back into the page and it broke the page ?

typical things:
- a JS syntax error
- invalid URI
- JS content in a script tag already referencing a JS source
- executing the JS script before the DOM/page is ready (i.e. you can't access elements not yet rendered)
- sometimes it matters if you use file:// or http://

Can I check if the JS code is being executed before the DOM page ? From my understanding there is no JS syntax errors. There are no HTML errors in the page, that rules out any script tags that shouldn't be there. Arrrghh !

JS scripts are executed when they are loaded, i.e. immediately.

did you check in the Error Console?

did you verify that? (w3.validator.org)

The only error is from a Google SEO and jQuery 1.4 but when the code was embedded into the page, these errors were not to be seen. I can't update jQuery because I have a script that won't work on newer version of jQuery.

Yes, there are no errors in the HTML. My guess is how it's being loaded, I have the script at the top of the page in the <head>, no in the <body>. How can I find what is causing me this headache.

So, when are you going to get around to showing the code you are using
or provide a link to a test site versions of what you are doing?
We can guess all day as to what you are doing wrong, but it would be faster to see!

Hint: You can't put HTML elements directly into a Javascript file. Javascript files are Javascript only, not the language soup most HTML files are.
