HTML script tag

Someone once told me the only place you can have a script tag is in the HEAD section of the a html document. This is not true! You can also have a script tag anywhere in the body of the document too :-)

"The SCRIPT element places a script within a document. This element may appear any number of times in the HEAD or BODY of an HTML document."
