Including a Javascript external file from the <body> part of an HTML file

davidemazza82 · Sep 26, 2007

Hi all,

I got an [object error] from IE 7.0.5730.11 when moving the <script
src="..." type="text/javascript" /> tag from the <head> part to the
<body> section of a HTML file.

Is not possibile to include Javascript code via <script src="..."
type="text/javascript" /> from the <body> section, instead from the
<head> one? If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be?
If not, how can I programmatically include a javascript external file
inside the <body> part of a HTML file, for example, using Javascript
to some particular native functions?

Tnx a lot

Bye
David

Don't use <script ... /> unless you are serving your XHTML as
application/xhtml+xml, it causes things to break.

Yes.

If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be?

Trying to use something in on script that depends on the other script
running first is a good bet.

Not in an HTML document, as the closing script tag is required/
necessary.

from the <body> section, instead from the
<head> one?

There are plenty of valid (in (x) HTML terms) contexts with a BODY
element into which script elements that import external scripts can be
placed (and even more where doing so is practical).

If yes, anyone has any idea of which the problem could be?

There are probably millions of things that you could do in order to
get the error output you suggest. That makes speculation a bit
pointless.

If not, how can I programmatically include a javascript external file
inside the <body> part of a HTML file,

There is no reason for doing it programmatically. Identify the cause
of the error and address that instead.

for example, using Javascript
to some particular native functions?

That does not make sense.
