[Manuel]

Hello.

I need insert a piece of javascript code in a JSTL page, that it will
execute always, that is, without events. I use the tag <script> but
this make that the web don't load correctly.


Any idea?

JSTL and JSP run on the server. The result is an HTML page which is
sent to the client. That page may contain Javascript, which will run
on the client.

Javascript that's not part of a function will run when it's
encountered. Something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var a;
a = 5;
alert ("a=" + 5);
</script>

will cause a message box to appear as soon as the browser parses it.

If the script refers to something that hasn't been loaded yet, it will
fail. Try moving your script block to the end of the HTML page.

well, I call a some function that it is at an external file that is
loaded in the beginning of the webpage. All the ways, I tried with a
simple code that this:

<script type="text/javascript">
alert("hello world");
</script>

I don't understand ((
