linking to repetitive code

I'm looking for a way of placing repetitive javascript code in a seperate file and linking to it. I have tried this via the <script src="name.js"></script> but I have been getting errors. Here is the redundant code I would like to eliminate:

<IFRAME

SRC="http://imgserv.adbutler.com/adserve/;ID=102291;size=88x31;setID=17688;

aff=on;loc=0;type=iframe" WIDTH=88 HEIGHT=31 FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0

MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0 SCROLLING=NO>
<SCRIPT

SRC="http://imgserv.adbutler.com/adserve/;ID=102291;size=88x31;setID=17688;

aff=on;loc=0;type=js" LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<a

href="http://imgserv.adbutler.com/go2/;ID=102291;size=88x31;setID=17688;aff

=on;loc=0">
<img

src="http://imgserv.adbutler.com/adserve/;ID=102291;size=88x31;setID=17688;

aff=on;loc=0;type=img" border="0" height="31" width="88"></a>
</NOSCRIPT>
</IFRAME>

help would be appreciated

Is your name.js file written in javascript (with document.write to display all the lines)? I'm pretty sure that it needs to be.

I am not sure what you mean by document.write, so I probably left something out. So, javascript needs beginning and ending tags like html files do? I can't just cut and paste the code and save it as a .js?

The code that I put up is the banner rotation code on my site. All I did was cut and paste it and try and save it as a .js. I don't know anything about javascript other than how to cut and paste it into a .html file.

I see, I assumed that you knew Javascript. The included file in a <script src=" ... "> tag must be composed of Javascript itself. Using document.write to display the HTML for your banner rotation would be quite simple.

document.write("line 1");
document.write("line 2");

etc.

But keep in mind that any user without a Javascript compatible browser or a user who has turned off Javascript would not see anything from this included file. I believe that the ideal solution would be to use SSI (server-side includes) for this case.

I did some monkeying around and I'm guessing that this might work

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.write("<A HREF="pagethat willlinkto.jhtml?");
var ID = "102291";
var size = "88x31";
var setID = "17688";
var aff = "on";
var loc = "0";
var type = "js";
document.write("ID=" + ID + "&size=" + size + "&setID=" + setID + "&aff=" +

aff + "&loc=" + loc + "&type=" + type +

((context.length==0)?"":"&context="+context));
document.write("" TARGET="_parent">");
</SCRIPT>

I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS RIGHT, BUT HERE IS THE INFO THAT I COPIED FROM.
