In this tutorial I will show you how you can put JavaScript in a HTML page. It is very easy to add JavaScript in a HTML page. We will use <script> tag for this purpose. Inside the <script> tag, we will use "type=" attribute and will define the scripting language. We will define the script language as “text/javascript”. After define the script language we will add our JavaScript codes and at last we will close the tag using </script>. So the complete code will be-



Now we will use “document.write” command (it is a standard command for JavaScript) to complete our previous code. This “document.write” command is a standard JavaScript command that writ output to a page. If we put “document.write("This is a JavaScript tutorial.");” inside the <script> tag, we will get output “This is a JavaScript tutorial.”. So the complete code is-



In previous example we used JavaScript in the body section. We can also use JavaScript in the head section. The system is similar, just put the script in the head section.



We can also use JavaScript in both head and body section.



Remember that we can use unlimited number of scripts in your document. But every time we must use “<script>” tag before starting JavaScript and “</script>” tag in the end.



I hope this little tutorial will help the beginner of JavaScript.
