To include JavaScript JS files in a Web Page View custom field you must utilize the following method. 

<script language="JavaScript">
function include_dom(script_filename) {
    var html_doc = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
    var js = document.createElement('script');
    js.setAttribute('language', 'javascript');
    js.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
    js.setAttribute('src', script_filename);
    html_doc.appendChild(js);
    return false;
}
function includejsfiles() {
  include_dom("/validate.js");
  include_dom("/anotherfile.js");
}
</script>

You will also have to call the includejsfiles function in the body onload: 

<body onload="includejsfiles();">


Explanation

Including the JS files within a script tag such as will cause the page to crash in certain browsers, particularly Internet Explorer. 

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript src="/validate.js"></SCRIPT>

This method can be used in Browser Script custom fields or on template pages, sign-up pages etc. The includejsfiles method above must be used for Web Page Views.
