JavaScript not working on external file

Question

When I use this code inside my HTML document it\'s working:

$(\'a.tocenter[href*=#]\').click( function() {
    if (location.pathname.replace(/^\\//,\'\') ==          


        

Answer 1

Wrap the content inside your file in

$(function(){
//js goes here
});

or put the reference to the file at the bottom of your page

this allows the DOM to load before executing your script.
