How to Add JavaScript in HTML Document

The document explains how to add JavaScript to an HTML document using three methods: inline, internal, and external JavaScript. It provides examples for each method, demonstrating how to manipulate HTML elements using properties like innerHTML and innerText, as well as using document.write(), window.alert(), and console.log() for output. Additionally, it briefly discusses the differences between var, let, and const in JavaScript.

How to Add JavaScript in HTML Document?

1. Inline JavaScript
{...}

<button onclick="alert('Button Clicked!')">

Click Here

</button>

{...}

2. Internal JavaScript (Within <script> Tag)


JavaScript Code Inside <head> Tag
{...}

<head>

<script>

function myFun() {

document.getElementById("demo")

.innerHTML = "Content changed!";

</script>

</head>

{...}

JavaScript Code Inside <body> Tag


{...}

<body>

<h2>

Add JavaScript Code

inside Body Section

</h2>

<h3 id="demo" style="color:green;">

GeeksforGeeks

</h3>

<button type="button" onclick="myFun()">

Click Here

</button>

<script>

function myFun() {

document.getElementById("demo")

.innerHTML = "Content changed!";

</script>

</body>

3. External JavaScript (Using External File)


/* Filename: script.js*/

function myFun () {

document.getElementById('demo')
.innerHTML = 'Content Changed'

 Writing into an HTML element, using innerHTML or innerText.


 Writing into the HTML output using document.write().
 Writing into an alert box, using window.alert().
 Writing into the browser console, using console.log().

Using innerHTML
To access an HTML element, you can use
the document.getElementById(id) method.

Use the id attribute to identify the HTML element.

Then use the innerHTML property to change the HTML content of the HTML
element:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>


<p>My First Paragraph</p>

<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "<h2>Hello World</h2>";
</script>

</body>
</html>

Using innerText
To access an HTML element, use the document.getElementById(id) method.

Then use the innerText property to change the inner text of the HTML element:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>


<p>My First Paragraph</p>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerText = "Hello World";
</script>

</body>
</html>

Using document.write()
For testing purposes, it is convenient to use document.write():
Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
document.write(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

Using window.alert()
You can use an alert box to display data:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
window.alert(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

You can skip the window keyword.


In JavaScript, the window object is the global scope object. This means that
variables, properties, and methods by default belong to the window object. This also
means that specifying the window keyword is optional:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Web Page</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

<script>
alert(5 + 6);
</script>

</body>
</html>

Using console.log()
For debugging purposes, you can call the console.log() method in the browser to
display data.

You will learn more about debugging in a later chapter.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<script>
console.log(5 + 6);
</script>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Print
JavaScript does not have any print object or print methods.

You cannot access output devices from JavaScript.

The only exception is that you can call the window.print() method in the browser
to print the content of the current window.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<button onclick="window.print()">Print this page</button>

</body>
</html>
