The SCRIPT Tag

HomeForumTutorials Tags:
 
 

Name

Script

Description

Defines a client-side script.  The text contained within the opening and closing script tags will be executed on the client computer when the page is loaded (unless the script is a function).

VBScript is not supported by Firefox.

Attributes

LANGUAGE

Specifies the language of the script.  The following values are typical:

Value
javascript
livescript
vbscript

The TYPE attribute should be used instead.

SRC

With the SRC attribute, you can link to a script instead of including it in the document.  To link to a file on the same site use the local path e.g. src="script.js" or href="folder/ad.vbs".  You can also use dots to link to a document in the parent folder e.g. href="..\dropurl.js".  To link to another site, use the full URL e.g.: href="http://www.martin2k.co.uk/script.vbs".

TYPE

Specifies the MIME type of the script (use instead of LANGUAGE).  The following values are valid:

Value
application/ecmascript
application/javascript
text/ecmascript
text/javascript
text/vbscript

If the browser does not support scripts, you can use the NOSCRIPT tag to display alternative content.

Example

Document.write "Hello World!"
</script>
