How does the "src" tag in javascript work?

[Tal Rashas Guardianship]

In JScript1.js, I defined a function like this: ================================================= var count = 0; function changeDefaultStatus() { var arr = new Array("haoyong", "hao123", "12wangzhi", "123", "state"); if (count >= 5) count = 0; top.defaultStatus = arr[count]; count++; } ================================================= And use the function like this: ================================================= //the code below does not work <script> setInterval("changeDefaultStatus();", 2000); ....... //But if I move the code to here, it works setInterval("changeDefaultStatus();", 2000); ==================================================== when a page is being loaded, how does the "src" works? the explorer will wait for "JScript1.js"'s loading, or just load it in the background. Thank you

Every opening </code> tag requires a closing <code> tag, including the one with src="". The opening </code> you have with the <code>src="./JScript1.js"</code> attribute is being closed by the <code> that is after the setInterval call. Any code within that has a src attribute is ignored.
