Joinging all my javascript together

[ntranced]

I have 2 quite long javascript scripts in a dreamweaver template I built for a
client. It works fine in DW but when the client edits with Contribute the
javascript becomes all joined in to one - e.g. -

var copyspeed=slidespeed
leftrightslide='<nobr>'+leftrightslide.join(imageg ap)+'</nobr>'

becomes

var
copyspeed=slidespeedleftrightslide='<nobr>'+leftri ghtslide.join(imagegap)+'</nob
r>'

And of course this stops the js from working.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried puting the JavaSript in a separate .js file and calling it to
the page?

Can you explain where your JavaScript Code is? is it within an editable region
of the tempate or greyed out and therefore locked when viewed in DW?

The scripts are not within editable regions, there is only one small editable
region on the page at all. I haven't investigated calling the scripts as .js
files as it's probably outwith my technical ability and I'm not sure I could.
One of the scripts is a drop down menu which already calls its own .js file and
the other is a scrolling marquee.
