Re: [HtmlUnit] javascript external file not accessible after body tag

Does it matter where we insert the external javascript file in the html
code? If I put it within the body tag, it still doesn't load. For
example:
<body>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="myFile.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
someFunc();
</script>
</body>
Should I open a bug for this?
