(1)This isn't a CSS question

(2)Use this to include javascripts:


<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>

Not that I'm aware of, no.

And you can't use link. As well as there's no advantage to using link.

Only in Internet Explorer using the behavior property.

Correct. The LINK element imports CSS exclusively. There are no exceptions.

The link tag can also import a bookmark icon and an RSS Feed:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="" href="" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="xxx.ico" />

Sorry, I should have been more clear; I was speaking specifically of importing ASCII code for formatting, interaction or informational purposes. Thanks for clearing that up, though, in case anyone was confused by my statement.

I know this is a "dead" topic, but i must ask... Do you put that in the <BODY> or <HEAD> tags?

Either place. It's nice to keep all your SCRIPT importing tags in the head for code maintainability, but browsers really don't care all that much whether the SCRIPT tag importing a javascript file is in the HEAD or in the BODY. But it should BE in the HEAD or BODY. Never outside of those elements.

OK, I knew they could go in either, but i was just wondering which is more prefered in the web world? I usually throw 'em in the <HEAD> but i know guys that put them in the <BODY> right before they call to the function in that script...

If a javascript do not output anything (document.write('...'); ) it's best you keep it in the HEAD section. It's much a matter of keeping the HTML code in the body clean but the script tag can be inserted anywhere in your web page.

Another issue regarding the location of the script importation tags regarding placement is failure of a script to execute due to its uninitialized state. For example, if you have an event handler that references a function defined in an external script and that external script is imported later in the document’s source code, you will receive a JavaScript error because that function is “undefined” as a result of its location. By keeping all imported, non-output scripts in the HEAD tags, you guarantee that no such mistake will occur, because these scripts will initialize before any output is applied to the web page.
