Where do you include your JS?

Hi All,

Where do you include your Javascript. Do you include it in the HEAD or right before the closing BODY tag?

or does it depend.

I prefer to use it in the header, but footer is better for loading times.
All in all, I think it comes down to personal choice.

There are instances where you get race conditions and loading your js in the footer does 'help' (although not prevent) some of these conditions. What you typically see in these instances is that the js tries to execute before the html element has been loaded giving you an undefined error message.

There are better ways to prevent this, but more difficult to implement.
