javascript not in < head > </ head> ?
i need to place some javascript (simple img-mouseover) into the body of a page.
i thought, it would be possible to just use <script></script> in the body part and place the code between. since i'm not good in javascript, i didn't get it to work.
could someone post some code-samples? i took mine out of hotscripts.com but everywhere <script> is placed in the head...
tia!

The script itself should be in the header and called from the body. The reasoning here, in simplistic terms, is to ensure that the script is loaded before it is called.
There ARE cases where a script can reside in the body but mouseovers aren't one of them.
I do recall seeing the following structure depicted somewhere:
*
*
<script>
*
*
</script>
*
*
I have no idea if this works.
For samples try javascripts.com
For a tutorial try http://webteacher.com/javascript/

thank you taff.
convinces me.
well, since this mouseover is not THAT important, i just start the animation after n seconds and don't make the mouseover.
except anyone else knows a way?
thanks anyway!

Hi,
The below url has a working example including the code for "mouseover effect" using Javascript.
