Is it wrong to place the <script> tag after the </body> tag?

//scripts
</body>
</html>

or

</body>
//scripts
</html>

I know it’s kind of a silly question but is there any difference between these two methods. I’ve read in books to do just before the </body> tag but in practice I’ve seen people do it just before the </html> tag. My instincts and current findings say that it shouldn’t matter I don’t think it would but being as I’m newer to web development I always second guess my work cause there could be something I don’t know about.

Answer 1

The comments are correct: <script> outside the head or body are not valid HTML.

Here is the relevant spec

Content Model

A head element followed by a body element.
