Solution 2:

Note :- Do not use script tag in external JavaScript file.

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
    <p id="cn"> Click on the button to change the light button</p>
    <button type="button" onclick="changefont()">Click</button>

     <script src="external.js"></script>
</body>

External Java Script file:-

        function changefont()
            {

                var x = document.getElementById("cn");
                x.style.fontSize = "25px";           
                x.style.color = "red"; 
            }

Solution 3:

In your head element add

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

Solution 4:

This is the way to include an external javascript file to you HTML markup.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/external-javascript.js"></script>

Where external-javascript.js is the external file to be included. Make sure the path and the file name are correct while you including it.

<a href="javascript:showCountry('countryCode')">countryCode</a>

The above mentioned method is correct for anchor tags and will work perfectly. But for other elements you should specify the event explicitly.

Example:

<select name="users" onChange="showUser(this.value)">

Solution 5:

You can simply add your JavaScript in body segment like this:

<body>

<script src="myScript.js"> </script>
</body>

myScript will be the file name for your JavaScript. Just write the code and enjoy!
