XHTML Tutorial - "script" Tag/Element as Inline Element
(Continued from previous topic...)
What Is a "script" Tag/Element?
A "script" element is both an inline element and a block element
that you can use to specify a script code to be executed by browsers.
Here are basic rules about "script" elements:
- "script" elements are inline elements.
- "script" elements are also block elements.
- Most browsers will executed contents of "script" elements as script code.
Below is a good tutorial example of using "script" elements:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>SCRIPT Elements</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Let's ask the browser to calculate: <br/>
sqrt(2.0) = <script type="text/javascript">
document.write(Math.sqrt(2.0))
</script></p>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as inline_script.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see that the browser calculates sqrt(2.0) correctly
and displays the result as shown below:
