* '''type''' - indicates to the browser the type of content contained within the ''<script>'' body. This is typically be set to "text/javascript".
A typical use of the ''<script>'' element when embedding the script directly into an HTML file might appear as follows:
<pre>
<script type="text/javascript">
// JavaScript code goes here
</script>
</pre>
An example of using an external file to contain the JavaScript is as follows:
<pre>
<script src="/j-scripts/myjscript.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
</pre>
The above example instructs the browser to load the JavaScript from the ''myjscript.js'' file located on the /j-scripts sub-directory of the local web server. It is possible to specify any valid URL here so this could be a file located on any accessible web server if required.
