Unless you've swapped the code snippets above then, in the external file, the function should *not* be enclosed in a 'script' tag. i.e. this should work:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="dmitry.js"></script>
<button onclick="TestMsg()">Click me</button>
</body>
</html>and Dmitry.js:
function TestMsg() {
alert('test message');
}
