What does a script-Tag with src AND content mean?
I used the following in my html page
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="resources/scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js">
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("ABC");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>THIS IS MY INDEX PAGE.</p>
</body>
</html>
The jquery doesn’t work here meaning I don’t see any effect of it after putting an alert in it.
But when I put in seperate <script> tag like the one below it works,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="resources/scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js">
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("ABC");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>If you click on me, I will disappear.</p>
</body>
</html>
so if anyone any explain?
This is because, you are providing the src tag with the javascript.
The src file contents will get expanded as content of
<script>(start and end) tag.You can inspect this with firebug if you want.
