Best way to include Javscript only on certain page

[damon2003]

Hi,

I am building a site in .net 4.0. Whats a good way to include some Javascript only on the homepage or certain other pages?

<script type="text/javascript">

....</script>

[ssystems]

I usually use content place holders for that

Should it be ok to include Javascript includes anywhere on the page, even at the bottom? Does it make any difference?

This is still a matter of debate last time I checked.

So far there is two prominent answers to this.

1. Place all javascript at the bottom of the page because how the way the pages loads. Look at this (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom)

2. Is to place the script on the header since this ensure that the script is loaded before you call it.

Consequently, it's still a matter of how your pages are set-up. If you're scripts doesn't block parallel loading I would place it on the header otherwise place it at the very end to ensure faster loading
