validation javascript - in header or body - does it matter?

Hi All

I have some validation javascript that I'd like to add to some pages.

I know that it's supposed to go into the head, but could the same validation code be put into the body if that's all I had access to?

In fact, could I put a remote call for the validation code into the body, as well?

Many thanks Smile

Hi,

As long as you have it wrapped with a <script ..> .. </script> tag, then you should be able to use it anywhere on the page (not 100% sure on compatabiliy between browsers though).

e.g;

Code:
<html> 
   <head> 
     ... 
<script> 
       .... 
      </script>
   </head> 
  <body> 
    normal content here 
  </body> 
</html>

Code:
<html> 
   <head> 
     .. 
   </head> 
  <body> 
<script> 
       .... 
     </script>
    normal content here 
  </body> 
</html>

Hope that helps.

Cheers
