Rejected as both are grammatically sound.

Reason for disagreement: Prepositions like "on top of" should be followed by a noun or a noun phrase.
In this case, the noun phrase is "javascript tag", so "tag" is the head word and "javascript" is the premodifier. This noun phrase is invalid as the head word/noun is "tag", which is a countable noun in the singular form, hence the noun phrase should start with a determiner. Moreover, since the noun phrase refers to the specific tag that was defined in the earlier part of the sentence, the determiner should be the definite article "the". There are only certain exceptions to this rule. Adding the premodifier "javascript" to the common noun "tag" does not make the noun phrase a proper noun (which would have needed capitalisation anyway).

"...other tags on top of javascript tag" should be "...other tags on top of the javascript tag"
