First we need nodejs to be installed so that we can run our js code in the code editor: https://nodejs.org/en
JavaScript programs can be inserted almost anywhere into an HTML document using the <script>
tag.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<p>Before the script...</p>
<script>
alert( 'Hello, world!' );
</script>
<p>...After the script.</p>
</body>
</html>
If we have a lot of JavaScript code, we can put it into a separate file.
Script files are attached to HTML with the src
attribute:
<script src="/path/to/script.js"></script>
alert.js
, residing in the same folder.
