Possible issue with the <script> location

[twitwi]

The lessons (javascript part) currently mentions that script can be put anywhere in the body. There are two possible issues:

• the can be placed in the head too, and it is often the case, so it might be confusion for learners
• in the lesson, the "getElementById" will work only if the script comes after the corresponding html element in the source HTML file

A possible fix (if we want to avoid talking about onload [1] and other alternatives) would be to say that script can be anywhere in the head or body but that in this example it must be just before closing the body.

I didn't know! Thank you. I can't really find where we say that. Do you mean right at the start? It's definitively something we should mention in the lessons.

This remark came to my mind when I read this “Everything between within the body will be interpreted as JavaScript code”

Right. I'll append that.
