Public Attributes
| Name | |
|---|---|
| attribute boolean | async This is a Boolean attribute indicating that the script will, if possible, load asynchronously and then execute as soon as it’s downloaded. This attribute must not be used if the src attribute is absent (i.e. for inline scripts). If it is included in this case it will have no effect. Scripts are loaded synchronously, (i.e. async=“false”) during HTML parsing. Dynamically inserted scripts (using document.createElement()) load asynchronously, so to turn on synchronous loading (i.e. scripts load in the order they were inserted) set async=“false”. |
| attribute boolean | defer This Boolean attribute is set to indicate that the script is meant to be executed after the document has been parsed, but before firing DOMContentLoaded. Scripts with the defer attribute will prevent the DOMContentLoaded event from firing until the script has loaded and finished evaluating. This attribute must not be used if the src attribute is absent (i.e. for inline scripts), in this case it would have no effect. To achieve a similar effect for dynamically inserted scripts use async=“false” instead. Scripts with the defer attribute will execute in the order in which they appear in the document. |
| attribute DOMString | src This attribute specifies the URI of an external script; this can be used as an alternative to embedding a script directly within a document. If a script element has a src attribute specified, it should not have a script embedded inside its tags since it can lead to unexpected behavior. The unexpected behavior is because it is only the JavaScript in the file referenced in the src attribute that will be added to the HTML page. |
| attribute DOMString | text Alias of the textContent property for script elements. |
| attribute DomString | type This attribute indicates the type of script represented. The value of this attribute will be in one of the following categories: Omitted or a JavaScript MIME type: This indicates the script is JavaScript. The HTML5 specification urges authors to omit the attribute rather than provide a redundant MIME type. module: Causes the code to be treated as a JavaScript module. The processing of the script contents is not affected by the charset and defer attributes. For information on using module, see our JavaScript modules guide. Any other value: The embedded content is treated as a data block which won’t be processed. Developers must use a valid MIME type that is not a JavaScript MIME type to denote data blocks. The src attribute will be ignored. |
