<HEAD> or <BODY>?

#1

I'm using java code from different sites and some to the code tells to place
the" <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> " in the head tag and others in the body
tag.

What is the difference?

Is there a site that gives a tutorial or guidlines for java?

Thanks.

First of all, that's javaSCRIPT you are talking about...NOT Java. Those are
entirely different things.

The difference between the tags is just as it states. Some scripts go in the
HEAD tags, some in the BODY tags. Scripts in he HEAD tags are usually
function declarations that are then called from within the scrips in the
BODY tags.
