How to Install Website Scripts
Website JavaScript scripts provide you with a way to alter content on your Web pages after users load the page in their browsers. This means the scripts let you create dynamic client-side code that run on a browser and not your Web server. You must upload the JavaScript scripts to your website host and include the script in your Web page's HTML code to install it on the pages. You must include the JS scripts in each page on which you want to use the JavaScript functions.
