How to call javascript file in html

Question

I am trying to call innerHtml in JavaScript its working in the same file but not in the separate JavaScript JS file. my working code is

<script type="text/javascript">
   function my()
    document.getElementById("abc").innerHTML="hello";
    } 
    </script>
<div id="abc" onmouseover ="my()"> hi hw ru  </div>

But if I invoke this method in separate JavaScript file its not working even I am giving the source path of the JavaScript file like

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/framemrq.js">

Don't you think it should be: function my(){ document.getElementById("abc").innerHTML="hello"; } — Akhil Sekharan, Dec 12 '12 at 07:53
check your script, have you forget to put `{` after `function my()` ? — vusan, Dec 12 '12 at 09:58

Missing the function keyword

<script type="text/javascript">
  function my(){

        // Your code here
   }
</script>
