title: Are <script>'s not in <head> ok?
body: <p>I have had this question niggling at the curious bit of my mind for a while now and I thought I'd ask your collective expertise for an answer to this question.</p>
  
  <p>To elaborate on the title, say I have this:</p>
  
  <pre>
  alert("Some JS outside ");
  </pre>
  
  <p>Outside the <code>&lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;</code> tags of my HTML file. My question is whether it's ok to do this or not, and how much it is used like this.</p>
  
  <p>My instincts tell me it's ok - I reckon browsers look through all HTML for <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> tags and interpret it when they see it, so it <em>should</em> be ok, but I'm not all that great with how browsers work.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a definitive (or as close as possible to definitive) answer here - is it fine to do, or not?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> To save me posting this a bunch of times, I'll say it once here. Thanks very much for all your input people. Up votes to you all! I will have to re-train myself to put JS at the bottom of pages - now that I think about it it's blindingly obvious that scripts at the <em>bottom</em> of the page is way better than the top. Thanks for your help everyone.</p>
