javascript for single page

[praiseandplay]

This javascript code that I have downloaded is supposed to be loaded inline inside an html page (anywhere between the body tags). I checked out all the forum topics I could find on this particular subject, and have tried to follow each thoroughly. My javascript which is just a verticle scroller still will not show up, and I have no idea why. I have a file called jscript_pandpscroll.js in the overrided jscript folder, I also have the script located in between the header tags in html_header.php, and also have a copy of the jscript_pandpscroll.php in includes/modules/pages/index/ as well which is the location that I am trying to call with this line of code: <script type="text/javascript" src="/includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_pandpscroll.js"></script>

I read somewhere that there should be a function call between the two script tags, but like I said the script I think was meant to be inline. And when trying to search the code for the right function to call, i am even more frustrated. Is there anyone who can help, I am completely lost and confused? Please let me know if you need me to post the code for the script.

Yes, your script must be called inline.

Dump the code right in your template file where you want it to run. Do not use the jscript_xxxx methods ... those are for loading support components, not for inline javascript.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Loading the code inline is much much easier, but I have also tried to do that as well and still nothing. It seems like anything that I try to put between the script tags on define_main_page.php does not get read. I've removed the script from the header, and from the index folder as well from the overrided jscript folder. I did a straight copy and paste from the website and put it inline into my define_main_page.php.

Here is part of the code that I have inside define_main_page.php :

Is there something wrong with this?

[DrByte]

Nothing "wrong" as far as I can tell ... other than it's not working

[praiseandplay]

Yeah, I know its even more difficult for you to tell from your end what's wrsong, but I do thank you for trying.

I copied and pasted all of the content from my define_main_page.php into a file called test1.html. You can look here if you would want to see what it looks like:
