Script tag

In the previous question of my tutorial the script tag was placed inside a body tag but in the next question it is said to place the script tag inside a head tag why ???

As Akash Pal mentioned, it can be used in both <head> and <body> without problems. The biggest difference between both methods is when your script will run: In the head your script will load before the elements of the page, so if you do some manipulation to the DOM will have an undefined behavior (in these cases you can always use window .onload or any similar method). The Body the script will load next to the elements / after the elements of the page (depending on if you put it at the end of the body or in some specific place). Some people recommend putting the scripts at the bottom of the pagem, so in case the loading of the same fails your page would be displayed correctly. And depending on the size of the script (and the visitor connection) it also gives the impression that the site load faster
