Re: Need Some Help From Opera Users!

Thanks for the reference, I read "who knows where . . . it's been quite a
while" about external .js files. I usually include type="text/javascript"
and leave off the language="javascript" and my pages validate.

| Unless things have changed, I was taught this :
|
|  ----------------------------------------------------------------
|  If the browser is unable to fetch the external script it will
|  execute any embedded script; otherwise it will ignore the
|  embedded script. An example follows:
|
|  <SCRIPT SRC="foo.js">
|  <!--
|  // embedded script, only executed if foo.js is unavailable
|  // -->
|  </SCRIPT>
|  ----------------------------------------------------------------
|   @ http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/script.html
|  ----------------------------------------------------------------
|
| So, is this no longer true?
|
| If so then I will remove it from my code.
|
| Thanks, in advance,
|
| Stephen.
