Calling a function i javascript from HTML
Question
New to js/html so help is needed.
i have this simple html file:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript" src="rps.js">
var numOfRounds = 25;
var result = startGame(numOfRounds,player1,player2 );
document.write(result.p1+":"+result.p2);
</script>
</html>
and as you can see the function im calling to is startGame(...)
this is the function:
function startGame(rounds, player1, player2) {
var counter = 0;
while (counter < rounds) {
player1.itemChosen = player1.play();
player2.itemChosen = player2.play();
player1.feedback(player2.itemChosen);
player2.feedback(player1.itemChosen);
counter++;
}
return {p1: player1.getW(),p2: player2.getW() }
};
but for some reason when i try to debug it (chrome) the startGame function is not called at all.
any ideas?

You cannot have any code inside a script tag with a src attribute.
Either use a script tag with a src attribute, or a script tag without src attribute and with code inside it, or both.
<script type="text/javascript" src="rps.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var numOfRounds = 25;
var result = startGame(numOfRounds,player1,player2 );
document.write(result.p1+":"+result.p2);
</script>

You cannot have any code inside a script tag with a src attribute.
if you want to use any other variable or component of attribute than you either use a script tag with a src attribute, or a script tag without src attribute and with code inside it, or both.
<script type="text/javascript" src="rps.js"> </script>
than use another script like
<script type="text/javascript">
var numOfRounds = 25;
var result = startGame(numOfRounds,player1,player2 );
document.write(result.p1+":"+result.p2);
</script>
like this....

Try putting your inline js in another script tag
<script type="text/javascript" src="rps.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var numOfRounds = 25;
var result = startGame(numOfRounds,player1,player2 );
document.write(result.p1+":"+result.p2);
</script>
I'm guessing startGame is declared in rps.js.

You don't have a script tag for the function try to add as
<script type="text/javascript">
//Your function code
</script>
