There's no functional difference between using an external .js file or

Well, there's the advantage of the .js file being cached in the browser in
subsequent page requests... but other than that, functionally no different

Well, unless you're using XHTML, that is. It's very hard to stay valid
using JS in the page itself, if the page is XHTML. So, if you do use
XHTML, then external JS is clearly the right thing, except for some
simple setting of variables etc, that can be done reasonably safely in
XHTML.
