HTML CSS and JS combined into one file.

Hi,

I have a automotive web page that runs on an industrial PLC web server. I have adopted the project and I note the HTML, JS and CSS items are all in one XX.HTM file instead of a HTM file for the HTML stuff, JS file for the functions and CSS sheet for the styles etc.

The server can hold and is capable of accessing the separate files no problem, in fact, the demo from the manufacturer has a htm file and a JS file.

Is this good / bad or no difference? The reason I ask is because we get some communication issues that don't seem to be tied to a specific function and i was wandering if the structure was influencing things here?

Thanks in advance.

Best to keep them separate - that way you can reuse the css and JavaScript on other pages - also the code will be easier to maintain.

Ok Thanks.

That seems to be the general opinion on the web too.
