Integration of Scripts in HTML Pages
JavaScript scripts are easily added to HTML code. All you have to do is place the required code between the <SCRIPT> and </SCRIPT> tags, which in turn must be inserted in the page head section denoted by the HEAD element. This is what it should look like:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.3">
// JavaScript script
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</HTML>
