i have inherited a web site with several -- <script language="Javascript"
src="../scripts/xxxx.js"></script> -- statements in each page, and i cannot see
the images or navigation bars these scripts are building when i preview in any
browser. not having much experience with javascript, i assume this means they
are "server side" and i need to set up a test server with some sort of
interpreter installed on my laptop to see their results in preview mode? ...
please help

thank you ... wynne

Actually .. JavaScript is usually client side .. at least navigational type
scripts. You should be able to see them .. is JavaScript turned on in your
browser? I also notice that you are going up a level to find the script ..
do you have the site set up correctly so the script is being found?

The kind of JavaScript that is server side is ASP/JS.

hi nancy ... thank you for the rapid response.

the scripts are being "found", as the browser preview is formatted correctly;
however, the images the scripts build on the navigation bar only show the alt
text, instead of the images, and none of the text links show on the left menu
structure built by the javascript below. the strange thing is this exact same
code works just fine on our test and production web servers ... my preview
results are the same in IE, Firefox and Netscape ... missing images and text
links described by the javascripts. perhaps if i showed you some code??

Re: Not able to preview javascript results in browser

after looking at some of the "Cannot find" messages, i.e.
file:///c:/document.htm, file:///c:/termsofuse/htm, i am thinking i might have
mucked up the linking structure by moving the web site files to my standard
site format, i.e. c:/company/website/, and these javascripts are expecting
things in the c: root directory?? what do ya think??
