I have developed some web pages using javascript. NetSurf successfully handles the code and does what is required.

However, the same javascript statements put into an external file do not work. It seems this is an html problem rather than JS as the <script src="mycode.js> </script> statement appears to be ignored and the code is not loaded.

Is this a bug or a case of function yet to be implemented?

At the moment lack of ablility to load external source means that JavaScript libraries, eg jQuery cannot be accessed by NetSurf
