[Solved] How do you create a typing animation using an external JS file?

There are many codes showing how a typing animation can be created in JavaScript, however, they mostly use internal JavaScript code. I wanted to find out if it's possible to do it with external JavaScript. https://code.sololearn.com/W7Im9s7FBozb/?ref=app

Vedant Bang You are right. I placed onload at the <p> tag when I should've placed it at <body>. I got it to work now. Thanks again.

Yes it's possible. You'll have to link your script first to your HTML page <script type="text/javascript" link="pathToFile"> After that it is as good as having a script written directly alongside the HTML code. I'd suggest that you create a custom class in your external file, with all the required functions, then use it in your page by invoking it's functions.

When I tried it, it returns "innerHTML is null". It works when I use internal JavaScript. But thanks for your answer Vedant Bang. Sorry for late reply.

That means that there is something wrong with the JavaScript code. Can you post your code on Sololearn?
