Hi,

just a simple doubt...i have noticed that some scriptwriters write the scripts in the <head> tag and others in the <body> tag and some in both..

Is there any reasons or implications on where the script tag is used...

Hope someone can clear help in this...

thanks

most sources recommend putting scripts in the head to separate from html code, but technically you should be able to put them anywhere on the page (even outside <html></html> tags). you'll need to put scripts in the body to write out content on run-time and things of that nature. also, some like to put scripts after </body> so that the html content can load first (though i'm not sure whether any rendering speed improvements are perceived or real).
