Perfect, thanks so much. It's reassuring to have confirmation!

In the beginning of the JavaScript tutorial, there are several examples of working with JavaScript that don't include any script tags. I was able to duplicate the examples with my own text editor and browser, also. However, later in the tutorial it is stated "In HTML, JavaScript code must be inserted between <script> and </script> tags." It is a bit confusing, and I am wondering why the script tags weren't needed in the first few examples, such as the one below: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>What Can JavaScript Do?</h1> <p id="demo">JavaScript can change HTML content.</p> <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = 'Hello JavaScript!'">Click Me!</button> </body> </html> Which runs fine without the script tags. I was able to duplicate it with my own text editor and browser. Thanks in advance for any help offered! patricia
