nevermind, figured it out. A javascript block needs to be placed insside asp:content blocks, it cannot sit outside. Thanks though

I have been trying to add javascript to a custom application page for some time. I am unable to add a tag to my application page, and the _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames method is not recognized. If I try to write a javascript block on the page i get an error along the lines of ‘content cannot be included outside or tags. Can you elaborate some more on how you accomplished this? My application page is essentially the same as an example included in the WSS 3 SDK
