The HTML <script> Tag
The HTML <script> tag is used to define a client-side script (JavaScript).
The <script> element either contains script statements, or it points to an external script file
through the src attribute.
Common uses for JavaScript are image manipulation, form validation, and dynamic changes of
content.
To select an HTML element, JavaScript most often uses the document.getElementById()
method.
