1. Upload you JS file(Ex:- myScript.js) in to StaticResources.

2. Give it a name(Ex:- mySample). 

3. If your JS file has a function named as "myFunction()" you can access that method in VF page as below.

<apex:page>
  <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.mySample}"/>
    <apex:form>
      <apex:commandButton value="Click Me" onclick="myFunction();"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

sorry for bad english used in previous query..
 
Actual scenario is like this..
 
I am creating custom button using custom buttons&links. It gives me options do link it to VF page 
or S-control or Javascript which I can write on same page.
 
In that javascript, I want to write some JS code which will be used in more than one custom buttons.
so I wanted to refactor it. which is why I want to move this code into Static resource file. and call that 
js function from every custom button javascript code..
 
Setup->Customize->Contact->buttons & links , in this click on New under custom buttons and Links 
 
I hope I am described problem clearly now.

Any ideas on how to do it ?

We ended up re-writing the javascript and setting the link to be a custom link that called an onClick javascript and passed a field value to it.  It seems to be working pretty well.  It's much easier to do it in VisualForce though using prageeth's example above.  If I had had the option of going with a VF page I would have done it that way.
