Hello,

I was doing some testing with a JavaScript file that is loaded as an
external library. I like to use alert() windows to test or see values
as I do development work but I found that when the alert() function is
used from the external library file it doesn't work. But when I moved
the same code back into the <head></head> section of my web page the
alert() windows did work. What is going on here? (I'm using firefox
2.0.0.8)

Posting PHP code to debug client side JS doesn't make a lot of sense.
What is needed is the HTML generated by the PHP code.

That said, test it in IE with an external file and if you get the error
"Illegal Character...." then it would confirm my belief that the path to
your JS file is incorrect. Barring that, post a URL to two pages, one
that works with the code in the page, and one that doesn't work with an
external file.
