Add script

12-11-2008

Hello,

I am checking my web site according to Yahoo Best Practices and I get
a warning:

Put JS at the bottom
8 external scripts were found in the document HEAD. Could they be
moved lower in the page?

But shouldn't external scripts be loaded on the page head?

Thanks.
Miguel

What made you think Yahoo was any authority on web design?

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...w.yahoo.com%2F
[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.yahoo.com/ - W3C Markup Validator

The home page is not nearly as bad as other areas...

JS can be placed anywhere it is needed.
Some script is better at the bottom but not ALL script.
External scripts go in the "head".
Screw their "best".

All script should be external to the page and referenced in the head only.

that source is about as authoratative as the posters in this group.
the wiki is not the "holy grale".

There are times when JS MUST be deployed at the bottom or in the
<body> tag. JS can also be deployed within other tags as needed.

you should try reading info at the w3c school reference site.

Yes I follow W3C advices ... that is why I thought it was strange
Yahoo advice.

So I am making it right.

There is no connection between the W3 Consortium (W3C) and
w3schools.com.
