php problem in external javascript function

Hi all,

I have the following inline javascript function in my index.php file...

<html>
<head>
<script type="application/JavaScript">

function resetForm(){
var checkbox = document.MercyForm.elements["cb"];
var aomPreset = new Array;

<?php for($i=0;$i<count($aomPreset); $i++){ echo "aomPreset[$i]='".$aomPreset[$i]."';\n\t"; } ?>

if(window.confirm("Reset the form?")){
document.MercyForm.distance.value= <?php echo "'".$milPreset."';"; ?>
document.MercyForm.zipcode.value= <?php echo "'".$zipPreset."';"; ?>


for(i=0; i < checkbox.length; i++){
if(aomPreset[i] == "1" ){checkbox[i].checked = true;}else{checkbox[i].checked = false;}
}

return(true);
}else{
return(false);
}

}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<html>

It works fine inline from the index.php page. It does not work when it's called from an external javascript file in the index.php file as follows...

<html>
<head>

<script type="application/JavaScript" scr="scripts/keypad.js"></script>

</head>
<body>
<html>

Does anyone know why it works inline but not from an externally called .js file?

Does this have to do with telling Apache to look for php inside an external javascript file?

<?php
//>keypad.php
 
//output appropriate header
header('Content-type: text/javascript');
 
//you would need to have the definition of $aomPreset in this "keypad.php" file...
//as well as definitions for $milPreset and $zipPreset, this may be a problem for
//you if you are deriving them from submitted form values, in which case you 
//could pass them to this script with url variables appended to the script tags src, see later script tag info
$aomPreset = array(1, 2, 3);
$milPreset = 'something';
$zipPreset = 'or other';

function resetForm(){
var checkbox = document.MercyForm.elements["cb"];
var aomPreset = new Array;
 
<?php for($i=0;$i<count($aomPreset); $i++){ echo "aomPreset[$i]='".$aomPreset[$i]."';\n\t"; } ?>
 
if(window.confirm("Reset the form?")){
document.MercyForm.distance.value= <?php echo "'".$milPreset."';"; ?>
document.MercyForm.zipcode.value= <?php echo "'".$zipPreset."';"; ?>
 
for(i=0; i < checkbox.length; i++){
if(aomPreset[i] == "1" ){checkbox[i].checked = true;}else{checkbox[i].checked = false;}
}
return(true);
}else{
return(false);
}
}
?>

<?php
//>keypad.php
 
//output appropriate header
header('Content-type: text/javascript');
 
//you would need to have the definition of $aomPreset in this "keypad.php" file...
//as well as definitions for $milPreset and $zipPreset, this may be a problem for
//you if you are deriving them from submitted form values, in which case you 
//could pass them to this script with url variables appended to the script tags src, see later script tag info
$aomPreset = array(1, 2, 3);
$milPreset = 'something';
$zipPreset = 'or other';
 
//exit php code temporarily, or else we could just echo the entire resetForm function..
?>
function resetForm(){
var checkbox = document.MercyForm.elements["cb"];
var aomPreset = new Array;
 
<?php for($i=0;$i<count($aomPreset); $i++){ echo "aomPreset[$i]='".$aomPreset[$i]."';\n\t"; } ?>
 
if(window.confirm("Reset the form?")){
document.MercyForm.distance.value= <?php echo "'".$milPreset."';"; ?>
document.MercyForm.zipcode.value= <?php echo "'".$zipPreset."';"; ?>
 
for(i=0; i < checkbox.length; i++){
if(aomPreset[i] == "1" ){checkbox[i].checked = true;}else{checkbox[i].checked = false;}
}
return(true);

return(false);
}
