Question : Javascript function in external js file does not execute

I have a simple js function

<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function ol5()
{
return overlib('Popups present ancillary information.');
}
</script>
...
</head>

that executes correctly when embedded in the <head> section of a page, but that does not execute when contained in an external js file:


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


where the external file ol_functions.js, which resides in the same folder as the html page, contains exactly

function ol5()
{
return overlib('Popups present ancillary information.');
}


Any suggestions would be appreciated.
