Re: newbie - function is undefined

Please dont mix your languages, php and javascript are two different languages that run on two different levels, js is client-side (yes i know you can run it server side, but for the sake of this argument), and php is server side. php doesnt parse javascript code and vise-versa... so please dont include a JS file in php... it wont do you any good.
