Hi I'm new here, looking for a little help. I am trying to use some javascript as an external file but I am having a little trouble.

I will try to be as descriptive as possible but you can see the issue temporarily here: http://www.outdoors-411.com/index2.html


OK, I have placed this code inbetween the <head></head> tags of the html.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" SRC="advertising/recreation.js"></SCRIPT>


then I have placed the following code (excluding the line of '*' at the top and bottom)in a file I called 'recreation.js' in the folder 'advertising'.

The problem is that when I click 'close-it', it closes the post-it, but it also changes the original .html page to my '404.html' page???

In the external javascript file, on the second line, there is a space in the script that shouldn't be there in between "java" and "script":

<a href="java script:closeit()">

Take out the space, and that should fix it...

It works, I tested it in your address bar...

Hope this helps. :)
