How to use JavaScript in an HTML file<\/strong><\/p>\n

JavaScript is a dynamic loosely typed language which is now the lingua franca of the browser now.<\/p>\n

We can add JavaScript to a web page as inline, embedded or in an external .js file. For example<\/p>\n

Inline<\/strong><\/p>\n

\r\n<input type="button" value="Click Me!" onClick="alert('Clicked');" \/>\r\n<\/pre>\n
In the above the inline JavaScript will display an alter in response to the button being clicked.<\/p>\n
Embedded<\/strong><\/p>\n
The same code as above but with the JavaScript embedded would look more like<\/p>\n
\r\n<script>\r\nfunction clicked() {\r\n   alert('Clicked');\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n<input type="button" value="Click Me!" onClick="clicked();" \/>\r\n<\/pre>\n
I’ve removed superfluous code but the usual place to put the script is in the  section.<\/p>\n
External File<\/strong><\/p>\n
If we have a file name (for example) scripts.js then we’d place the scripting code in that file as below<\/p>\n
\r\nfunction clicked() {\r\n   alert('Clicked');\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
and in the  of the HTML file we’d have the reference to the script<\/p>\n
\r\n<script type="text\/javascript" language="javascript" src="scripts.js"><\/script>\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
