Writing jQuery Inside Script Tag


jQuery code is written inside the JavaScript script tag.

Without the script tag, the browser cannot understand jQuery code.

jQuery can be written directly inside HTML or inside a separate JavaScript file.

Both methods are used in real-world projects.

This method is suitable for small examples and learning purposes.

However, it is not recommended for large projects.

In real projects, jQuery code is usually written inside a separate JavaScript file.

This keeps HTML clean and organized.

This code is written inside a separate JavaScript file and works the same way.

jQuery must be loaded before this file.

Best Practices:

  • Use script tag for small testing
  • Use external JS file for projects
  • Load jQuery before custom file
  • Keep code clean and readable
