HTML only deals with static elements such as text, images and tables. Scripting languages such as JavaScript, which is the most popular because it is supported by the most browsers, goes beyond static elements and make pages interactive. We'll get into JavaScript later. I just wanted you to know where to put it in your document. Some JavaScript will go in the body of the document but most of it will go in the head section of the document in the script tags.
<SCRIPT></SCRIPT> is the base scripting tag and has the attributes language, source and type.
The <noscript></noscript> tags let us show a message in browsers that don't support scripting languages.
Script <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> starts scripting tag
Language <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=" "></SCRIPT> states script language just like the <HTML> tag does.
Location <SCRIPT SRC="URL"></SCRIPT> states location of source file to be used in the script
Other Content <NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT> what is seen on screen if scripts not supported by the browser
We're not going to do much with the script tags now I just wanted you to be aware of of then because they they go in the head tags. This is the last tag we decuss in the head section of your document. Next we move on to the body and the fun stuff.
