CelticDragon -> Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 6:42:05)
Hi guys, I think I attempted this question before but didn't figure it out... I have on my main pages quite a bit of javascript. On every header include I have a random picture script and on the main page I have a random quote generator..... These are affecting how the search engines view the pages and not registering my actual text.... how do I go about putting these in off page javascript files? I'm presuming that I copy the whole lot of the script between the <Javascript> bit but without those bits and putting into a text file and calling that script.js or whatever.... then how do I declare it on my page? Thanks for the help! Stephen

Gimme a link and I'll tell ya[:D] Some scripts you can put in an external JS file, others you can't Dan

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 6:46:31)
sorry... www.alphacollege.com/site it's messy and I need to clean it up!

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 6:49:44)
Just looking at the coding you could replace a lot with CSS and it looks like a fair bit of the JS can be put into external files, I'll get back to you when I've finished swimming through the coding[:D] Dan

Number one:

<Script Language='JavaScript'>
<!-- Begin
var theImages = new Array() // do not change this

theImages[0] = 'includes/1.jpg'
theImages[1] = 'includes/2.jpg'
theImages[2] = 'includes/3.jpg'
theImages[3] = 'includes/4.jpg'
theImages[4] = 'includes/5.jpg'
theImages[5] = 'includes/6.jpg'
theImages[6] = 'includes/7.jpg'
theImages[7] = 'includes/8.jpg'
theImages[8] = 'includes/9.jpg'

var j = 0
var p = theImages.length;
var preBuffer = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
   preBuffer = new Image()
   preBuffer.src = theImages
}
var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
function showImage(){
document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
}

//  End -->

</script>

Copy eiverything between the <script></script> tags into a fresh Notepad doc, and save it as imagechange.js

And replace the lot with:

<script src="imagechange.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"></script>

Leave the coding to change the images in the header alone.

Number Two:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">  </script>

Again, everything between <script> and </script> into a fresh Notepad doc and save it as quote.js.

Then where that was:

<script src="quote.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"></script>

I can't guarantee that one will work though.

Do you want me to neaten up the Nav coding as well?

changed the code and now it's giving me problems! it says there's a Script error... I have all my bits stored in different folders, is this going to cause a problem? Should I upload the js file and hard code the source?

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:09:32)
For the page given, you should have the homepage file and the JavaScript files in the same directory. index.htm, quote.js, imagechange.js should all be in the same directory. Upload the altered files to a new directory, JS et al, and lemme have a look Dan

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:10:59)
well, this site is live at the moment with a lot of visitors... don't want to have problems uploaded before I have them sorted

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:12:11)
Put the new files in a different directory, not the site directory...create a new one and put them in there Dan

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:15:31)
I previewed in my browser and took the source code.... I'll delete this if it's too much EDIT: Code Deleted!

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:18:12)
<Script Language='JavaScript'> <script src="imagechange.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"></script> </script> Remoof <Script Language='JavaScript'> & the last </script>

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:23:27)
done... still not showing the pics and saying there is an error in line 40 now... EDIT: Just realised that the page calls for show image() but I can't find that anywhere else....

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:26:27)
Ok...that's one of the ones you can't have in an external file...no fair...put the coding back in, remove the src attribute from the <script> tag, and put the JS back in between the two <script> tags. Then Try the quote one. The main bulk here is your Nav bar....It can be replaced with simple CSS one that will look exactly the same. Dan

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:33:55)
Nope, didn't work for that one either!!!! Damn! The nav bar is a standard MSFP one.... based on navigation structure.... EDIT: PS: I want to get rid of our splash page which is set up on www.alphacollege.com and leads to www.alphacollege.com/site..... do I just republish the site to www.alphacollege.com or are there sections of the web that will get messed up?

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:38:42)

That's b'cos you've moved it to the external JS file...or had This is a bit of a bugger...both scripts have to be used as internal JS Programs.... The Nav bar may be done by FP, but it does bloat the coding. Yeah I know it makes it easier to maintain. I'd recode the page for you, but I'm pretty tied up with my own work... It's not down to choice of JS programs...it's the way they've been coded, so don't blame yourself on this one. The JS is the main bulk of the page, but unfortunatley, it looks like it's the way its gonna stay Dan

Delete index.htm or whatever the page is, rename home.htm to index.htm and recalculate links, it shouldn't cause any problems, then re-publish to the server via FP Dan

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:48:09)
Dan, Sorry, I didn't get that bit.... rename the /site bit as /site/home.htm and as the main index page too?

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 7:51:38)
You can remove the current home page under the web root (wwwroot or public_html, dependant on your server type), and then rename home.htm to index.htm, recalculate you hyperlinks, and then you can publish the content of the site direcotry to your root directory. Directory Structure: -Web Root ---HomePage <delete -----/site --------home.htm <<rename to index.htm Publish the content of /site to the Web Root, make sense? Dan

CelticDragon -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 8:21:26)
gotcha... but I have /site set up as a sub web, is it just as easy to publish the /site bit to the main folder?

Giomanach -> RE: Removing Javascript (9/13/2004 8:25:58)
Would be easier to create a new web within FP for that, just import the files over. Again, shouldn't cause any problem, just ensure you recalculate links before you publish Dan
