Starting External Script

[johnmayer]

I've noticed that Mozilla gives me this message every time I try to run a script

Error: illegal character
Line: 1, Column: 1
Source Code:


Error: illegal character
Line: 1, Column: 1
Source Code:
function chngit() {

Whats the problem? Character encoding? or am I supposed to start an external script with something... I just start the script right off the bat.

Any HTML in that 'external' script?

'External' scripts are just scripts, externally stored. All the usual rules apply.
