referencing code to another document

need help with long peices of code

[flying monkey]

i have made some buttons in fireworks but teh code is long. is there a way that you can put the code in a doc of some sort and tell the page to look at the doc for the code?

If you mean javascript, you can put in an external ".js" file and include it like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../my-script-file.js"></script>

In this file (my-script-file.js) only write the script, not the <script></script> tags or comments.

That is exactly what i wrote in the post above - put it in an js file and include that file using javascript - like the example i posted.

Oh yes, you can include it using server side includes (SSI/shtml) or by using PHP or ASP as well. This is all serverside scripting.
