i have index.php, right? and it's real long, so i cut the javascript between the HEAD tags and stuck it in a .js file, and tried linking to it like <script src="js.js"></script> and when that threw errors for whatever reason, i tried doing it by way of a PHP include... i just do not understand why this script would work perfectly fine until i include it instead of having it directly in index.php -- should it not just work exactly the same, as if it is actually part of index.php? Does anyone know anything about this?
