Interface ScriptElement

All Superinterfaces:

Element, ElementTraversal, EventTarget, Node, NodeSelector

All Known Implementing Classes:

JsScriptElement

public interface ScriptElement
extends Element

The script element is used to embed or reference an executable script within an HTML or XHTML document.

Scripts without async or defer attributes are fetched and executed immediately, before the browser continues to parse the page.

Method Detail

isAsync

boolean isAsync()

Set this Boolean attribute to indicate that the browser should, if possible, execute the script asynchronously. It has no effect on inline scripts (i.e., scripts that don't have the src attribute). In older browsers that don't support the async attribute, parser-inserted scripts block the parser; script-inserted scripts execute asynchronously in IE and WebKit, but synchronously in Opera and pre-4.0 Firefox. In Firefox 4.0, the async DOM property defaults to true for script-created scripts, so the default behavior matches the behavior of IE and WebKit. To request script-inserted external scripts be executed in the insertion order in browsers where the document.createElement("script").async evaluates to true (such as Firefox 4.0), set .async=false on the scripts you want to maintain order. Never call document.write() from an async script. In Gecko 1.9.2, calling document.write() has an unpredictable effect. In Gecko 2.0, calling document.write() from an async script has no effect (other than printing a warning to the error console).

getCrossOrigin

setCrossOrigin

void setCrossOrigin(String arg)

isDefer

boolean isDefer()

This Boolean attribute is set to indicate to a browser that the script is meant to be executed after the document has been parsed. Since this feature hasn't yet been implemented by all other major browsers, authors should not assume that the script’s execution will actually be deferred. Never call document.write() from a defer script (since Gecko 1.9.2, this will blow away the document). The defer attribute shouldn't be used on scripts that don't have the src attribute. Since Gecko 1.9.2, the defer attribute is ignored on scripts that don't have the src attribute. However, in Gecko 1.9.1 even inline scripts are deferred if the defer attribute is set.

setDefer

getEvent

String getEvent()

setEvent

void setEvent(String arg)

getHtmlFor

String getHtmlFor()

setHtmlFor

void setHtmlFor(String arg)

getSrc

String getSrc()

This attribute specifies the URI of an external script; this can be used as an alternative to embedding a script directly within a document. script elements with an src attribute specified should not have a script embedded within its tags.

setSrc

void setSrc(String arg)

getText

String getText()

setText

void setText(String arg)

getType

String getType()

This attribute identifies the scripting language of code embedded within a script element or referenced via the element’s src attribute. This is specified as a MIME type; examples of supported MIME types include text/javascript, text/ecmascript, application/javascript, and application/ecmascript. If this attribute is absent, the script is treated as JavaScript.

setType

void setType(String arg)
