How do browsers process multiple javascript tags?

Question

Does a browser process these two snippets the same way?:

    <script type="javascript">
     myFunction1();
     myFunction2();
    </script>

Vs.

<script type="javascript">
 myFunction1();
</script>
<script type="javascript">
 myFunction2();
</script>

Answer 1

They will be absolutely equivalent. There are no scope differences, no execution differences, nothing.

The only difference is that there will be two instead of one script element in the parsed DOM.
