Disregard this question: I’ve simply confused <script src="..."></script> tag and <script> [some functions] </scipt> tags.

I have this function

function OnLoad()
{
    ShowHideConfirmAnswers();

    return true;
}

triggered by onload event:

<body onload=OnLoad()>

It works fine until I add src=”jquery-1.4.2.js” to the script element. From this moment I get “OnLoad is not defined” error, and the same happens to every other javascript function.

    It works fine until I add src=”jquery-1.4.2.js” to the script element.

    This line makes me think you’re using a script element like this:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    //... all code here
</script>

    And then you’re adding the src attribute to the element:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.js">
    //... all code here
</script>

    Which won’t work. Once you add the src attribute to a <script> element, all data contained within the script element will be completely ignored by the browser. You have to use separate script tags for external and inline javascript:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    //... all code here
</script>
