code from content
• JavaScript code can be placed in the
body, head, or in an external file

from the content
• Use the script tag
• Have access to all of the document
information (ids, classes, etc.)

editor (e.g. CodePen) the software lets
you separate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
without any links

Review
• JavaScript can appear in the head or
body of your code

file
• Personally, development done in head
and moved to external after testing
