Question about .js files

Hi all,

My questions revolve around the JavaScript file. I have a number of scripts on each of my pages. I have been told to add them to a .js file and refer to that file on the webpage.

I have accomplished this with a CSS file for styles.

How do I do this with JavaScript? Then once I have the file, what code do I use to in the web page?

Does anyone have a good tutorial?

For example, I have one script one every page that has graphics that will allow you to "click to enlarge!” I have other scripts on the same page.

1. How do I consolidate all the scripts in one file?

2. What code do I put at the top of the web page (some like this? = <link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="FILENAME.css">)?

3. What do I put on the webpage to reference which JavaScript from the .js file that I want to use?

Confused yet? I sure as hell am! :) :)

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Copy all of the code between the <script> tags into a text file. Name the file filename.js and put it in the same folder as your html pages. In the pages that you want to use the javascript on put the following in the <head> of your page.

Code:

<script src="filename.js"></script>
