Web browser is usually expecting HTML, you must specifically tell the browser when JavaScript is coming by using the <script> tag.
The <script> tag is regular HTML. Web browser hands it off to the JavaScript interpreter.When web browser encounters the </script> tag, it knows it’s reached the end of the JavaScript program and can get back to its normal duties.
