If you want to include several lines of JavaScript code in your HTML document, you're be better off with a simple script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

// -->
</SCRIPT>

If you're working on a longer script, you might want to implement an external script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="external.js">
<!--

// -->
</SCRIPT>

An external script is interpreted as if it precedes the local script. For a complete example take a look at our banner script in Column 13, Scrolling JavaScript Banners.
