The HTML <script> element is an element that allows you to run JavaScript on your HTML document.
We commonly use <script> element to run JavaScript for dynamically changing the content, add animation to the page and form validation.
How To Add HTML Scripts
To add the <script> element, it can be placing in either <head> or <body> element. If you want to load the script before the content loaded, then place in <head>. If you want to run the JavaScript when the document is loaded, then place at the end of the <body> element. It’s all depending when you want to load it first.
To load external script, you can use src attribute. When loading the external script, please make sure you link the script that’s exactly where the script file located at. Otherwise, it may not works.
