JavaScript is a type of script which your web browser loads from a web page, and uses to interact with parts of the already downloaded page to do anything from make a block of text visible, to allowing you to interact with a 'rich' web page, without refreshing a page.

<title>Title</title>
<script>JavaScript</script>
</head>
<body>
Page Content
</body>

<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="PathToJavaScript"></script>
</head>
<body>
Page Content
</body>
</html>
