Hi,
I think it is possible. Refer the following snippets.

<html>
<head>
<title>JS in Body</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="test">
<script language="javascript">
alert("welcome to Java Ranch");
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Why ask this in JSP when we have a JavaScript forum? Bear or someone will move it.


You can have JavaScript in the head or anywhere in the body.

I believe that external javascript can only be incuded in the head element.

You believe incorrectly. As Eric has already pointed out, script can be included in the head or the body.

Cool down guys

From htmlhelp.com - SCRIPT - Client-side Script:


The SCRIPT element may occur any number of times in the document HEAD or BODY. Typically the SCRIPT element is used in the HEAD unless it generates BODY content.
