Scripts can be placed in the <body> , or in the <head> section of an HTML page, or in both.
The src attribute specifies the URL of an external script file. If you want to run the same JavaScript on several pages in a web site, you should create an external JavaScript file, instead of writing the same script over and over again.
The <script> tag can be placed in the <head> section of your HTML or in the <body> section, depending on when you want the JavaScript to load. Generally, JavaScript code can go inside of the document <head> section in order to keep them contained and out of the main content of your HTML document.
Try:
<script src="/clock.js"></script>
Note the forward slash.
Use an relative path to the root of your site, for example:
If clock.js is on http://domain.com/javascript/clock.js
Include :
<script language="JavaScript" src="/javascript/clock.js"></script>
If it's on your domain root directory:
<script language="JavaScript" src="/clock.js"></script>
The common practice is to put scripts in a discrete folder, typically at the root of the site. So, if clock.js lived here:
/js/clock.js
then you could add this code to the top of any page in your site and it would just work:
<script src="/js/clock.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Piece of cake!
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="/clock.js"></SCRIPT>
This works:
<script src="/clock.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
The leading slash means the root directory of your site. Strictly speaking, language="Javascript"
has been deprecated by type="text/javascript"
.
Capitalization of tags and attributes is also widely discouraged.
