title: What's the difference between HTML <head> and <body> tags?
body: <p>What's the difference between HEAD tags and BODY tags?</p>
  
  <p>most HTML books only 'briefly' mentions <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> tags...but they just go away really fast.</p>
  
  <p>Do they affect how browsers render web pages?</p>
  
  <p>Also, do they affect the order in which javascripts are run?</p>
  
  <p>(I mean, if I have a javascript inside a <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> tag, would it run BEFORE another javascript inside <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> tag?  Even when <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> came BEFORE <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>?)</p>
  
  <p>This is too confusing--I haven't ever used a head/body tags, but i never had any trouble with it.
  But while reading Jquery tutorial, I saw people recommending putting some codes inside <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> and the others inside <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> tags.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!!!</p>
