Question : Problem in IE when mixing embedded and external javascript in a JSP

I have a sample JSP code that mixes embedded and external javascript. The code works in Chrome but does not work in IE. The code works if I comment out the extenal javascript and leave only the embedded. Any idea how to achieve this in IE? I am trying to avoid putting all page-specific javascript in one humongous file that needs to be imported to all pages.

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="test.js"/>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function doSth() {
alert("hello");
}
</script>

</head>
<body onload="doSth()">
</body>
</html>

---- and test.js:
function isNull(component) {
// alert("isNull");
if (document.getElementById(component).value == "") {
return true;
}
return false;
}
