JavaScript can be implemented using JavaScript statements that are placed within the <script>... </script> HTML tags in a web page.
You can place the <script>tags, containing your JavaScript, anywhere within your web page, but it is normally recommended that you should keep it just before the closing <head>tags.
The <script> tag alerts the browser program to start interpreting all the text between these tags as a script. A simple syntax of your JavaScript will appear as follows.
The script tag takes two important attributes:
Language − This attribute specifies what scripting language you are using. Typically, its value will be javascript. Although recent versions of HTML (and XHTML, its successor) have phased out the use of this attribute.
Type − This attribute is what is now recommended to indicate the scripting language in use and its value should be set to "text/javascript".
