Elements in Java Coding

The <script> element is used to embed executable code like JavaScript. It describes the attributes like async, defer, integrity and type which can be used to control how scripts are fetched and executed. The element also supports module scripts and has attributes for security like crossorigin.

<script>: The Script element


The <script> HTML element is used to embed executable code or data; this is
typically used to embed or refer to JavaScript code. The <script> element can also
be used with other languages, such as WebGL's GLSL shader programming language and
JSON.

Content categories Metadata content, Flow content, Phrasing content.


Permitted content Dynamic script such as text/javascript.
Tag omission None, both the starting and ending tag are mandatory.
Permitted parents Any element that accepts metadata content, or any element that
accepts phrasing content.
Implicit ARIA role No corresponding role
Permitted ARIA roles No role permitted
DOM interface HTMLScriptElement
Attributes
This element includes the global attributes.

async
For classic scripts, if the async attribute is present, then the classic script
will be fetched in parallel to parsing and evaluated as soon as it is available.

For module scripts, if the async attribute is present then the scripts and all
their dependencies will be executed in the defer queue, therefore they will get
fetched in parallel to parsing and evaluated as soon as they are available.

This attribute allows the elimination of parser-blocking JavaScript where the


browser would have to load and evaluate scripts before continuing to parse. defer
has a similar effect in this case.

This is a boolean attribute: the presence of a boolean attribute on an element


represents the true value, and the absence of the attribute represents the false
value.

See Browser compatibility for notes on browser support. See also Async scripts for
asm.js.

crossorigin
Normal script elements pass minimal information to the window.onerror for scripts
which do not pass the standard CORS checks. To allow error logging for sites which
use a separate domain for static media, use this attribute. See CORS settings
attributes for a more descriptive explanation of its valid arguments.
defer
This Boolean attribute is set to indicate to a browser that the script is meant to
be executed after the document has been parsed, but before firing DOMContentLoaded.

Scripts with the defer attribute will prevent the DOMContentLoaded event from
firing until the script has loaded and finished evaluating.

This attribute must not be used if the src attribute is absent (i.e. for inline
scripts), in this case it would have no effect.

The defer attribute has no effect on module scripts — they defer by default.

Scripts with the defer attribute will execute in the order in which they appear in
the document.

This attribute allows the elimination of parser-blocking JavaScript where the


browser would have to load and evaluate scripts before continuing to parse. async
has a similar effect in this case.

integrity
This attribute contains inline metadata that a user agent can use to verify that a
fetched resource has been delivered free of unexpected manipulation. See
Subresource Integrity.
nomodule
This Boolean attribute is set to indicate that the script should not be executed in
browsers that supportES2015 modules — in effect, this can be used to serve fallback
scripts to older browsers that do not support modular JavaScript code.

nomodule
This Boolean attribute is set to indicate that the script should not be executed in
browsers that supportES2015 modules — in effect, this can be used to serve fallback
scripts to older browsers that do not support modular JavaScript code.
nonce
A cryptographic nonce (number used once) to whitelist scripts in a script-src
Content-Security-Policy. The server must generate a unique nonce value each time it
transmits a policy. It is critical to provide a nonce that cannot be guessed as
bypassing a resource's policy is otherwise trivial.
referrerpolicy
Indicates which referrer to send when fetching the script, or resources fetched by
the script:
no-referrer: The Referer header will not be sent.
no-referrer-when-downgrade: The Referer header will not be sent to origins without
TLS (HTTPS).
origin: The sent referrer will be limited to the origin of the referring page: its
scheme, host, and port.
origin-when-cross-origin: The referrer sent to other origins will be limited to the
scheme, the host, and the port. Navigations on the same origin will still include
the path.
same-origin: A referrer will be sent for same origin, but cross-origin requests
will contain no referrer information.
strict-origin: Only send the origin of the document as the referrer when the
protocol security level stays the same (HTTPS→HTTPS), but don't send it to a less
secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).
strict-origin-when-cross-origin (default): Send a full URL when performing a same-
origin request, only send the origin when the protocol security level stays the
same (HTTPS→HTTPS), and send no header to a less secure destination (HTTPS→HTTP).
unsafe-url: The referrer will include the origin and the path (but not the
fragment, password, or username). This value is unsafe, because it leaks origins
and paths from TLS-protected resources to insecure origins.
Note: An empty string value ("") is both the default value, and a fallback value if
referrerpolicy is not supported. If referrerpolicy is not explicitly specified on
the <script> element, it will adopt a higher-level referrer policy, i.e. one set on
the whole document or domain. If a higher-level policy is not available, the empty
string is treated as being equivalent to strict-origin-when-cross-origin.

src
This attribute specifies the URI of an external script; this can be used as an
alternative to embedding a script directly within a document.

type
This attribute indicates the type of script represented. The value of this
attribute will be in one of the following categories:

Omitted or a JavaScript MIME type: This indicates the script is JavaScript. The
HTML5 specification urges authors to omit the attribute rather than provide a
redundant MIME type. In earlier browsers, this identified the scripting language of
the embedded or imported (via the src attribute) code. JavaScript MIME types are
listed in the specification.
module: Causes the code to be treated as a JavaScript module. The processing of the
script contents is not affected by the charset and defer attributes. For
information on using module, see our JavaScript modules guide. Unlike classic
scripts, module scripts require the use of the CORS protocol for cross-origin
fetching.
Any other value: The embedded content is treated as a data block which won't be
processed by the browser. Developers must use a valid MIME type that is not a
JavaScript MIME type to denote data blocks. The src attribute will be ignored.
Deprecated attributes
charset
If present, its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for "utf-8". It’s
unnecessary to specify the charset attribute, because documents must use UTF-8, and
the script element inherits its character encoding from the document.
language
Like the type attribute, this attribute identifies the scripting language in use.
Unlike the type attribute, however, this attribute’s possible values were never
standardized. The type attribute should be used instead.
Notes
Scripts without async , defer or type="module" attributes, as well as inline
scripts, are fetched and executed immediately, before the browser continues to
parse the page.

The script should be served with the text/javascript MIME type, but browsers are
lenient and only block them if the script is served with an image type (image/*); a
video type (video/*); an audio (audio/*) type; or text/csv. If the script is
blocked, an error is sent to the element, if not a load event is sent.
