Script Tags

Script tags are HTML elements (<script>) used to embed or reference executable code, typically JavaScript, within web pages. They enable client-side scripting to add interactivity, manipulate the DOM, and handle events in web applications. Script tags can include inline code directly or link to external files via the src attribute.

Also known as: <script>, script element, HTML script tag, JavaScript tag, client-side script
