Full Version: Editing Within <head> <body>

I've come accross a pretty slick pop-up menu driven by javascript that I'd like to use on my website. It is free, and the instructions indicate that I need to add some of the code within the <HEAD></HEAD> tags, and the rest of it within the <BODY></BODY> tags.

Can someone tell me how to do this? Using the code for the <BODY> tags is pretty straight forward, I'll just add my final code into the left-hand navigation HTML editor. The first bit of code contains <Styles> variable and function descriptions and the script. It also calls "JavaScript1.2", does that matter? And does it really matter to place the code into the <HEAD> section?

Thanks,
Todd

Todd,

To be perfectly honest I've often placed javascript in places besides the head and didn't seem to suffer any from it. Give it a try and see if there are any problems.

Todd, this question has come up often. We're usually advised to put it in the Top of Page section.

I've never seen where 'JavaScript 1.2' really matters.

Also, the location of the script does not have to be in the <HEAD>. It just has to load before the rest of the script runs, so you could put it right before the rest of the script that goes in the <BODY>.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone.

I didn't understand the need to place it in the <head> section, and really, using the available MC Functions proves this out.

Thanks again.
