I needed to include an external js file. Oddly

<script type="text/javascript" src="myfile.js" /> caused all script code after this declaration to not execute.

Changing the declaration to
<script type="text/javascript" src="myfile.js"></script> fixed the issue. Is there any reference to explain why the shorthand version of tag closing does not work in html?

Thanks,
Sanjiv

Simple answer for a Sat. afternoon is IE does not support the XHTML compliant way of doing tags with script so you need to add </script>
