Hi Karthick,

Download the js and css from external system.
Saev them in your static resource.

Hy Ramu,

     I need simple code for  linking external js to vfp

To link external js to VF page, you first need to load the js file to Statis resources and then use the below code in VF

<apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.<JS File name>}"/>

Does this help ?

If you meant linking the js file hosted somewhere else, I am not sure if we can  link external js file directly to visualforce page like we do for css.

Hi karthick,

the reasons people ask you to use the static resource

1.when u have huge traffics to your force.com  sites,your external script provider may reduce no of request come to their server.
2.So the force.com site may become slow or that particular script wont load.
3.if script wont load,u loose the functionlity.

upload the scripts to static resource folder and use them.

thanks
