how to make a js script available globally?

Question

I can't find any question similar to what I'm looking for, that is why I'm asking here.

The problem is very simple, since I do not have so much experience with js. I would like to solve this simple problem.

I have the follow JS Code

function valida()
{
    if (document.getElementById('contrato').value=='0')
    {
        alert('O contrato do cliente deve ser selecionado!');
        document.getElementById('contrato').focus();
        return false
    }
    if (document.getElementById('problema').value=='0')
    {
        alert('A tipo da ocorrência deve ser selecionado!');
        document.getElementById('problema').focus();
        return false
    }
    if (document.getElementById('descricao').value=='')
    {
        alert('A descrição do problema deve ser preenchido!');
        document.getElementById('descricao').focus();
        return false
    }
}

function mostra()
{
    if (document.getElementById("sumula").style.display != "none")
    {
        document.getElementById("sumula").style.display = "none";
    }
    else
    {
        document.getElementById("sumula").style.display = "block";
    }
}

Actually the above piece of code is in my HTML interface and work properly. But now I need to restructure my interface and separate it in 7 other small interfaces (No problem at this point). Then I will have 7 distinct new interfaces, and I do not want to repeat the JS code as above, then I had created a new js file called protocol.js and I will include the protocol.js in all my 7 new interfaces.

I'm including like this ->

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/protocol.js">

but it is not working. Just this not work. When I back the whole code in my HTML it works fine, I had try absolute path, relative path and nothing.

What could it be? Any help?

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/protocol.js"></script>

Yep. You have to close the script tag with a separate close tag, even when you use the src attribute. – Dave Nov 08 '11 at 16:21
auto close -> should work? – devasia2112 Nov 08 '11 at 16:24

@FernandoCosta you **cannot** auto close a script tag. – Naftali Nov 08 '11 at 16:25
I try to use exactly as the answer posted above, but it not help. Still not works. – devasia2112 Nov 08 '11 at 16:27
@Neal Thanks for the warning. Plus one! – devasia2112 Nov 08 '11 at 16:28

The file is not accessible (Use the correct chmod)

Try to call it like http://DOMAIN/scripts/protocol.js
The tag is not correct. It's not closed. Try

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/protocol.js"></script>

I did as you mentioned and still not working. 1 - It is a windows server no chmod option.! I try absolute and relative path, also the full path accessible by url and nothing. 2 - I correct the tag and still not working. Thanks! – devasia2112 Nov 08 '11 at 16:31
Can you put a link on here? It might help people spot the error – ChrisW Nov 08 '11 at 17:26
You can also have a look to the Javascript console. In Firefox you have a console in the add-ons Firebug and Web Developer. I also created a minimal example: http://paste.dennis-boldt.de/stackoverflow/8053588/ - you could copy and try it. – Dennis Nov 09 '11 at 12:54
