[SOLVED] Problem running a javascript file?

Ajit Gunge · 06-05-2012, 05:38 AM

Hi can anyone tell me how do I run a javascript file that is given in this guide at the link here

The link, you provided points to a page under construction. Are you sure it is what you were supposed to show?

The link is broken. You need to copy and paste the URL rather than clicking it.

OP, you're aware that JavaScript is meant to be embedded in web pages, right? Saying that, I don't know any more about it, so can't help any further unfortunately.

the link is not broken, he simply mixed the link and the text displayed. The correct one is: here, and it definitely works. But I think he has general problems running javascript, it is not related to that page at all. Probably he need to set up a webserver.

Definitely no need to run a webserver. Javascript runs locally and is interpreted by your web browser, it is a client side script, not a server side script. In general, this is how you link to a javscript file:

Code:

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

It looks like you may need Jquery also to use this script also. You can download Jquery here: http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery

Jquery is a .js file just like the one mentioned above, and you link to it just like the example I gave above. Hope this helps.
