I don't think they do. Have you tried giving your external JS file a JSP extension?
If that doesn't work then try a JSP include to include the JS file with the JSP extension. Just an idea. thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Gin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JSP Code in a JS file Hi all, I've checked the archives because I thought this was already answered but I cant find the anything regarding it. I had JSP Code inside of a <script> tag so that I could use server side variables when building my javascript. ex: //hello.jsp ... <script> function sayHi() { alert( '<%= "Hi" %>'); } </script> That worked fine. But I tried to move it into its own .js file and now it doesnt work. I tried to do: //hello.js function sayHi() { alert( '<%= "Hi" %>'); } //hello.jsp ... <script src="hello.js"></script> and got a syntex error exception I then tried to do: //hello.js function sayHi() { alert( 'Hi' ); } and it works fine. Does .js files not execute jsp code? -Tim =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
