# [[HTML JavaScript]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
The HTML `<script>` tag embeds client-side JavaScript that can dynamically change a page's content, styles, and attributes, while `<noscript>` supplies fallback content when scripting is unavailable. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`<script>` defines a client-side script** — JavaScript that runs in the browser. [S1]
- **Inline or external** — the `<script>` element either contains script statements, or points to an external script file through the `src` attribute. [S1]
- **What JavaScript can do** — common uses include image manipulation, form validation, and dynamic changes of content. [S1]
- **Changing content/style/attributes** — JavaScript can set an element's `innerHTML`, its `style` properties, and its attributes (e.g. an image `src`). [S1]
- **`<noscript>` fallback** — defines alternate content to display to users who have disabled scripts or whose browser doesn't support scripts. [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **Content-change pattern** — select an element by id and set its `innerHTML`. [S1]
- **Style-change pattern** — set `style.fontSize`, `style.color`, `style.backgroundColor`, etc. on a selected element. [S1]
- **Attribute-change pattern** — set an element attribute such as an image `src`. [S1]
- **Graceful-degradation pattern** — pair a `<script>` with a `<noscript>` block for non-scripting browsers. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
**The HTML `<script>` Tag.** The HTML `<script>` tag is used to define a client-side script (JavaScript). The `<script>` element either contains script statements, or it points to an external script file through the `src` attribute. Common uses for JavaScript are image manipulation, form validation, and dynamic changes of content. [S1]

To select an HTML element, JavaScript often uses `document.getElementById(id)`. This JavaScript example writes "Hello JavaScript!" into an HTML element with `id="demo"`: [S1]
```javascript
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript!";
</script>
```

**A Taste of JavaScript.** JavaScript can change content: [S1]
```javascript
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript!";
```
JavaScript can change styles: [S1]
```javascript
document.getElementById("demo").style.fontSize = "25px";
document.getElementById("demo").style.color = "red";
document.getElementById("demo").style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
```
JavaScript can change attributes (here, an image source): [S1]
```javascript
document.getElementById("image").src = "picture.gif";
```

**The HTML `<noscript>` Tag.** The HTML `<noscript>` tag defines an alternate content to be displayed to users that have disabled scripts in their browser or have a browser that doesn't support scripts. [S1]
```javascript
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript!";
</script>
<noscript>Sorry, your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript>
```

**HTML Script Tags.** [S1]

| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| `<script>` | Defines a client-side script |
| `<noscript>` | Defines an alternate content for users that do not support client-side scripts |

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
The `innerHTML` content swap, the style changes (font size / color / background), the image `src` change, and the `<noscript>` fallback are the canonical applied examples. No external project/commit applications found in the source.

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Inline script changing content (HTML + JS):
```html
<script>
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript!";
</script>
```
Change style via JS:
```javascript
document.getElementById("demo").style.color = "red";
```
Fallback for no-script browsers (HTML):
```html
<noscript>Sorry, your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript>
```
