just2comment Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, I do not know if this is the right place to report this, but anyway...In http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_whereto.aspthe text"JavaScripts in the body section will be executed WHILE the page loads.JavaScripts in the head section will be executed when CALLED."is not completely right, more specifically1) Javascript in the head section is always executed if it is not in a function,as in <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello World!"); </script> </head> <body> </body></html>2) JavaScript in the body section will not be executed if it is in a function which is not called.

Ingolme Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 In fact, scripts behave the same whether they're in the head or the body. What they're saying is incorrect, but it is a recommendation to keep the functions in the head, and put scripts in the body if they need to execute right after a certain element has loaded.
