cut 'n paste Javascript into BODY & getting it to validate

R

rfr

I use cut 'n paste Javascripts.

The validators dont like these.

I found that, for those which are loaded in the <head></head> that the
simple process of linking it from an external file seems to validate and the
JS works.

But, what do I do when the Javascript needs to be in the BODY, not in the
HEADER?

I am not sure if any browsers will link in an external Javascript that is
evoked between the <BODY> and </BODY> markers.

Any suggestions on how to get this JS to validate?

I am still in development mode and all the material is still on my PC.

Even at this point, I can see that while it works well in MSIE, it doesnt in
netscape, Firefox and Opera.

So, my usual proceedure to deal with this is to validate the HTML and CSS.

While it would be too volumous to copy/paste the entire document code here,
here is partial code that exists just following the <BODY> marker, between
the equal signs;
======================================
<div ID="content" style="width:1000px;background-color:ivory;border:1px
solid black;">
<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="_std_header.htm" TAG="BODY" --><br>
<script type="text/javascript">

It look like this is the source of your info:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/leftrightslide.htm
Try validating that page, lots of errors on it

What I would do is to make up a simple mockup first, axeing most of the
content and just use 2 or 3 images for the presentation. Track down where
there errors are in that and once that works and validates, then you put it
into your main page and add the other dozen or so images
