JAVASCRIPT SYNTAX



How to Put a JavaScript Into an HTML Page

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!")
</script>
</body>
</html>
The code above will produce this output on an HTML page:
    Hello World!

Where to Put the JavaScript?

Scripts in a page will be executed immediately while the page loads into the browser. This is not always what we want. Sometimes we want to execute a script when a page loads, other times when a user triggers an event.

Scripts in the head section:

Scripts to be executed when they are called, or when an event is triggered, go in the head section. When you place a script in the head section, you will ensure that the script is loaded before anyone uses it. 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
some statements
</script>
</head>

Scripts in the body section:

Scripts to be executed when the page loads go in the body section. When you place a script in the body section it generates the content of the page.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
some statements
</script>
</body>

Scripts in both the body and the head section:

You can place an unlimited number of scripts in your document, so you can have scripts in both the body and the head section.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
some statements
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
some statements
</script>
</body>
