HTML 5 <script> Tag

Example

Write "Hello world" with JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!")
</script>

View it »

Definition and Usage

The <script> tag is used to define a client-side script, such as a JavaScript.

The script element either contains scripting statements or it points to an external script file through the src attribute.

The required type attribute specifies the MIME type of the script.

Common uses for JavaScript are image manipulation, form validation, and dynamic changes of content.

Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

The "async" attribute i new in HTML 5.

Some HTML 4.01 attributes are not supported in HTML 5.

Tips and Notes

Note: There are ways a script can be executed:

The async attribute is "true": The script will be executed asynchrously with the rest of the page, so the script will be executed while the page continues the parsing.

The async attribute is "false", but the defer attribute is "true": The script will be executed when the page is finished with the parsing.

Both the async attribute and the defer attribute is "false": The script will be executed immediately, and the page will wait for the script to finish before continuing the parsing.

Tip: If there is a src attribute, the <script> element must be empty.
