Add JavaScript to HTML

There are following three ways through which we can add the JavaScript code into the HTML document:

  1. Include the JavaScript code in <head>…</head> tag.
  2. Include the JavaScript code between the <Body> …</Body> tag and after the closing of the body tag.
  3. Link the separate file of JavaScript in HTML

Include the JavaScript Code in <head> tag.

In this section, you will learn to include the JavaScript code between the <head> and </head> tag.

Syntax

<html>  

<head>  

<script>  

JavaScript Code  

Statement 1  

Statement 2  

......  

Statement N  

</script>  

</head>  

<body>  

</body>  

</html>

In the above syntax, the JavaScript code written between the <script>……. </script> tag is put between the <head> and </head> tag in HTML file.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>  

<html>  

<head>  

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">  

<title>  

Include JavaScript in head tag   

</title>  

  

<script>  

function check()  

{  

/* The following statement is used to display a Confirm dialog box on a webpage with the statement which is enclosed in the brackets. */  

confirm("Your JavaScript Code Run");   

}  

</script>  

<style>  

/* The following tag selector button use the different properties for the Button. */  

button {  

  background-color: red;  

padding: 16px 20px;  

  margin: 8px 0;  

  border: none;  

  cursor: pointer;  

  color: white;  

  width: 100%;  

  opacity: 0.9;  

}  

/* The following tag selector hover use the opacity property for the Button which select button when you mouse over it. */  

button:hover {  

opacity: 1;  

}  

</style>  

</head>  

<body>  

<form>  

<!-- The following statement use the Button type which is used to call a function of JavaScript when this button is clicked. -->  

<button type="button" onclick="check()"> Click Me for running a JavaScript Code </button>  

  

</form>  

</body>  

</html>

Output:

Add JavaScript to HTML

2. i) Include the JavaScript code in the <body> tag.

In this section, you will learn about how to include the JavaScript code in-between the <body> and </body> tag.

</head>  

<body>  

  

<script>

Statement 1  

Statement 2  

......  

Statement N  

</script>  

</body>  

</html>

In the above syntax, the JavaScript code written between the <script>……. </script> tag is put in-between of the <body> and </body> tag in HTML file.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>  

<html>  

<head>  

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

</head>  

<body>  

<form>  

<script>  

function bdy_JS ()  

{  

/* The following statement is used to display a Confirm dialog box on a webpage with the statement which is enclosed in the brackets. */  

confirm("Your JavaScript Code Run which is used in the Body tag");

<button type="button" onclick="bdy_JS()"> Click Me for running a JavaScript Code </button>  

</form>  

</body>  

</html>

Output:

Add JavaScript to HTML

ii) Include the JavaScript code after the <body> tag.

In this section, you will learn to include the JavaScript code after the <body> tag.

Syntax

</head>  

<body>  

</body>  

<script>  

JavaScript Code

In the above syntax, the JavaScript code written between the <script>……. </script> tag is put after the <body>…</body> tag in HTML file.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>  

<html>  

<head>  

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">  

<title>  

Include JavaScript code after the body tag   

</title>  

<style>  

/* The following tag selector button use the different properties for the Button. */

button:hover {  

opacity: 1;  

}  

</style>

<body>  

<form>  

<!-- The following statement use the Button type which is used to call a function of JavaScript when this button is clicked. -->  

<button type="button" onclick="bdy_JS()"> Click Me for running a JavaScript Code </button>  

  

</form>  

</body>  

<script>  

function bdy_JS ()  

{  

/* The following statement is used to display a Confirm dialog box on a webpage with the statement which is enclosed in the brackets. */  

confirm("Your JavaScript Code Run which is used after the Body tag");  

}  

</script>  

</html>

Output:

Link the Separate file of JavaScript in HTML

In this section, you will learn to include the file of JavaScript code in the HTML file.

Syntax

<html>  

<head>  

<script src="Name_of_JavaScript_file>  

</script>  

</head>  

<body>  

</body>  

</html>

In the above syntax, the src is an attribute of <script> tag used for specifying the name of the JavaScript file.

Example

The following code is written in JavaScript (inc), which is saved by .js extension.

  1. function funcjs ()  
  2. {  
  3. /* The following statement displays a Confirm dialog box on a webpage with the statement which is enclosed in the brackets. */  
  4. confirm(“Your JavaScript Code Run which is used after the Body tag”);  
  5. }  

The following code is written in an HTML file which uses the src attribute in the <script> tag to specify the above JavaScript file.

<!DOCTYPE html>  

<html>  

<head>  

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">  

<title>  

Include JavaScript file in head tag of HTML file   

</title>  

<script src="inc.js">  

</script>  

<style>  

/* The following tag selector button use the different properties for the Button. */  

button {  

  background-color: red;  

  color: white;  

margin: 8px 0;  

  border: none;  

  cursor: pointer;  

  width: 100%;  

  padding: 16px 20px;  

  opacity: 0.9;  

}  

/* The following tag selector hover use the opacity property for the Button which select button when you mouse over it. */  

button:hover {  

opacity: 1;  

}  

</style>  

</head>  

<body>  

<form>  

<!-- The following statement use the Button type which is used to call a function of JavaScript when this button is clicked. -->  

  

<button type="button" onclick="funcjs()"> Click Me for running a JavaScript Code </button>  

</form>  

</body>  

</html>
