While designing a webpage, where should I put the following code?

<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="css/layout.css">

Should I put it in the <head> or should I put it in the <body>?
Please clarify the following questions:

  1. What difference does it make if I put it in <head> or anywhere else around the HTML code?
  2. What if I am having two CSS (or Javascript) files? Since I can only include one file before another one, which file will be used by the web-browser to display the webpage?

    In my opinion the best practice is to place the CSS file in the header

    <head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/layout.css" type="text/css">
</head>

    and the Javascript file before the closing </body> tag

      <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</body>

    Also if you have, like you said two CSS files. The browser would use both. If there were any selectors, ie. .content {} that were the same in both CSS files the browser would overwrite the similar properties of the first one with the second one’s properties. If that makes sense.
