Examples

Head section
Scripts can be placed in the head section. Usually we put all the "functions" in the head section. The reason for this is to be sure that the script is loaded before the function is called.

Body section
Execute a script that is placed in the body section. Scripts in the body section are executed when the page is loading.


Where to Put the VBScript

Scripts in a page will be executed immediately while the page loads into the browser. This is not always what we want. Sometimes we want to execute a script when a page loads, other times when a user triggers an event.

Scripts in the head section: Scripts to be executed when they are called or when an event is triggered go in the head section. When you place a script in the head section you will assure that the script is loaded before anyone uses it:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/vbscript">
  some statements
</script>
</head>

Scripts in the body section: Scripts to be executed when the page loads go in the body section. When you place a script in the body section it generates the content of the page:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
  some statements
</script>
</body>

Scripts in both the body and the head section: You can place an unlimited number of scripts in your document, so you can have scripts in both the body and the head section.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/vbscript">
  some statements
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
  some statements
</script>
</body>
