Why do we use <script "inline" ..> tag while using Java Script

Question

Could someone tell me why "in-line" attribute used inside the tag, For example:

<script inline type="text/javascript"></script>

Without this attribute, the JS does not load in the page

Does that attribute even exist? starts rummaging through W3C specs — CD001

I have never used "inline" and my javascript files load without problems. — Jose Manuel Abarca Rodríguez

I guess the answer to your question would be: Because the author didn't know better. "Without this attribute, the JS does not load in the page" That's hard to believe. Are you using any special server side technology that could be responsible for the inline attribute? — Felix Kling

You need to show a larger piece of code than that to back up your claim that the javascript doesn't load without ti. — Jon Hanna

The 'inline' property does not exist for the script tag.

Nor does it exist in the list of global attributes

When people say "inline javascript" they're talking about using script tags to put javascript on the page

<script>
    alert('hello world!!!');
</script>

Or just into an html tag

<a href="#" onclick="return false;">click here!</a>

as opposed to in a separate file.

<script src="script.js"></script>
