Including external Javascript file in JSP- not working on Mozilla Firefox

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a JSP page which includes javascript file as below:

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://siteAddress/scripts/myJsFile.js"></script>

myJsFile.js has a method testFireFox()

There is a link on JSP which that calls this method.

C#

<a href="#" onClick="testFireFox()">Some Text...</a>

As soon as i click on the link, nothing happens and this error appears on console:<br/> Refrence Error: testFirefox() is not definedI tried giving the path for JS file in various ways but it did not help.
<br/>
Note: This works absolutely fine in Internet Explorer.
any pointers pls..

Thanks!!

Firefox has a very powerful debugger - try use it to figure out what preventing the download of the js file...(look at the console massages upon page load)

Check if the testFireFox() is inside $(document).ready(...)

because the below code works fine

HTML

<a href="#" onclick="testFireFox()">Some Text...</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function testFireFox() {
        alert('sdas');
    }
</script>

But If you load the testFireFox() after DOM is ready it isn't working
