Hi,

i'm just starting my first program in javascript. i use ubuntu feisty fawn. For some reason, I try to source the *.js file, the js only works on firefox. When I try explorer, it does not work. If I code the alert directly into the *.html file, it works fine. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks! I posted the code below.

Inside /var/www/apache2-default , I have two files which i created (example.js, test.html)

test.html:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml11" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Just a test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" >
alert(234);
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

example.js
alert(20);

It works fine for me in Firefox, IE6, and IE7. Chances are your internet settings for IE are not allowing local files to execute their scripts as a security precaution.

Also, wrap your HTML in
blocks to make them easier to read and stand out from the rest of your post.

Thanks Modred for trying it out for me. I found that not only scripts, but also css files cannot be loaded on explorer. What are the settings I need to change?

Thanks again.
