- Javascript code can be written inside script tags.
- Those look just like usual HTML elements, and they can be placed in the head or the body section.
- For most cases, the best place to include the script tags will be at the body element’s end.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script>
// Javascript code can be written here
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- page content -->
<script>
// Javascript code can be written here
</script>
</body>
</html>
- However, the best place to write Javascript code is in separate .js files.
- In this case, the script tag will serve as a link to that file.
<body>
<!-- html -->
<script src='js/scripts.js'></script>
</body>

- The message passed through the alert function is shown on a popup
