    Script tag needed...?

    in JavaScript

    Posted

    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!
