Calling Javascript file from main page

[praiseandplay]

Is there a way that I can call my javascript file from my main page. I created a file: jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js and put it in includes/modules/pages/main_page_js/ folder. The line of code that I am trying to use to call it is: <script language="javascript" src="includes/modules/pages/main_page_js/jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js"></script>

I've also tried putting the file in: includes/templates/praiseandplay/jscript/ folder, which would make the file global and then used: <script language="javascript" src="jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js"> to call it, and still, no results.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. The site is: www.praiseandplay.com/catalog

If the jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js script is something that must run from a specific spot on the page, you'll have to code the <script ..... jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js.... </script> part in to your template manually.

However, if it is something that just needs to be loaded and available for other javascript function calls elsewhere in your templates, then putting it in the jscript folder (your second location above) is the right way to do it.

See, I think that that is what I did? I am trying to load it for a specific website and put the jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js in includes/modules/pages/main_page_js/ folder. The line of code that I am trying to use to call it is:
<script language="javascript" src="includes/modules/pages/main_page_js/jscript_praiseandplayscroll.js"></script>

which does want to work for some reason. I'm really confused because I think I am doing what you and the jscript instructions say to do, but to know avail.

And I am also hard coding it into one of my sidebox templates, tpl_blank_sidebox1.php

What is "main_page_js" ? Zen Cart doesn't have such a page by default...

[DrByte]

what does your jscript_praisenplayscroll.js file do ?

Does is simply provide support for various js function calls in your template, or is IT supposed to do something specific on the screen all by itself?

main_page_js is the name of a folder that i created to put javascript files into for my main page. The script is used for scrolling text. Useful if you have a lot of text you want to fit into a small table cell for example. Hope that helps.
