    ???

    What do you want to accomplish?
    if you want to "include" an external javascript file:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" SRC="http://www.whatever/bla.js"></SCRIPT>

    and the bla.js should contain just Javascript (No<SCRIPT> tags)

    Let’s say I have a website with 1000 pages, and on each page I have an affiliate ad. But after a while the affiliate ad does not workout. So I decide to change affiliates. At present I would have to go thru all 1000 pages and change the code.

    I have heard there is a way to put the ad in an external file. Then make a reference to it on the 1000 pages. So that if you want to change the ad, all you would have to do is change the external file.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    @dougadam:

    if you are using PHP, you can use
    include "ads.html";
    PHP:
    or something like that. but if you don't use any server side parsing, you can do the same with Javascript (client side). Create a simple file called ads.js in your server root dir
    document.write('<B>Advertisement</B>');
    Code (markup):
    and include it in all the pages you need with
    <script language="javascript" src="http://www.domain.tld/ads.js"></script>
    HTML:
    hope this helps.

    Would this be possible with my google adsense ad?

    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub-8654735634445568";
    google_ad_width = 250;
    google_ad_height = 250;
    google_ad_format = "250x250_as";
    google_ad_type = "text_image";
    google_ad_channel ="";
    google_color_border = "B0E0E6";
    google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_link = "000000";
    google_color_url = "336699";
    google_color_text = "333333";
    //--></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>

    Thanks, Frankm that is something I have been searching for also!
    (I love this forum)

    Unless there is something special about google adsense it should work just fine using this line of code as well. (right?)
    Or would you have to change it to.... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT" SRC="http://www.whatever/bla.js"></SCRIPT>

    Just a follow up.
    I did just excatly what was said and everythiing worked fine. But...
    when I ran my page at w3c.org I got this error (Error Line 9 column 113: required attribute "TYPE" not specified.
    ...ifts_scripts/gifts_scripts_window.js"></SCRIPT>)

    I had... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" SRC="http://www.xyz.com/file.js"></SCRIPT>

    I changed it to... <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT" SRC="http://www.xyz.com/file.js"></SCRIPT>
    But still got the error.

    So I changed it to... <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" SRC="http://www.xyz.com/file.js"></SCRIPT>
    And it went through w3c.org without a hitch
