Javascript functions in outside file

[Erik Abels]

I have written several Javascript functions into a single ".js" file for a header that is to be included into every page of an existing website. As of right now i am having to copy the functions into every page and i was wondering if i could call them from that ".js" file. currently it looks something like this

onmouseover="navDrop(ProductDrop, Products)"

how would i call this function if it were located in another file such as headerfunctions.js

You have to reference the file in a script tag, and then the functions are
available as if they were in the page:

<script source="yourFileName.js"></script>

You don't
If the script is already loaded in the HEAD section, the function is available to the page



| where do i put the script source tag in the line onmouseover="functionname()". I tried adding in the quotes but that didn't work
and i can't add it at the begginning and end of the file or the entire file becomes Javascript.
