As JavaScript is a scripting language, similar to scripting language, it can also be placed in external files. These external files can be written on any editor like notepad, notepad++ and saved with an extension of .JS. When we save any files with.JS, the icon will automatically changes like the below image.


This external JavaScript files can be further used in different web-pages. To use an external script, there is a need to integrate the name of the file script in the SRC attribute which we have already discussed on our previous article.

After creating JS file, integrate it to the HTML file in the script tag as in below example:

<html>
<head>
<Title> My first JavaScript </Title>
<script src="filetest.js"></script>
<head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
