If i got this in the top of a page before <html>
<SCRIPT SRC="http://insight_/http://www.mysite.com//ins.js"></SCRIPT>

What does this do?

Should load in a javascript file to be used. Notice the difference between Javascript and Java. They are not the same! (It's like comparing Esperanto with English...)

Please don't say that. I had a boss who did. Made him look very clueless when he kept confusing the to. Pity I wasn;t contract, then I would have charged him as a Java developer, rather than as Javascript one.

For searchengines, its actually better to import the source from a seperate file. This keeps your html files smaller (faster download) and removes obsuring javascript code from the html file. Javascript may confuse some spiders.

It also makes life easier for human developers.

No problem.... It can be confusing (I wasn't meaning to flame, just point out the difference before someone who isn't so nice does...)
