How bad is it to put javascript outside of the header?

Question

The question pretty much already says everything.

I'm starting to add some features to my weekend project. It's a small app for me and a couple of friends, as we're exchange students it's kinda useful for us.

But the thing is the following, I'm doing this in php and structuring everything with includes so i can get the code separated. Some of these pieces of code are dependent on javascripts snipets, so how bad is it to put a javascript in the middle of the body? Or should i just make double includes so the javascript stays in the header?

Answer 1

It's not bad at all.

It's actually considered good practice to put your script tags as late as possible in the page.
