No, but it is possible to do this:


<script type='text/javascript' src='xxx.js'>
    alert('Can I say hello in this area?');
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
    eval([].pop.call(document.getElementsByTagName('script')).innerHTML);
</script>

It eval's the .innerHTML of the last script tag that was closed.

It is also possible to include the eval code in your external file, the last script tag should evaluate to the script tag that initialized the file download.

Nope.

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js">
    var doesItWork = "#myElement";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        alert("did it work?");
        $(doesItWork).text("yes");
    });
</script>

<div id="myElement">no</div>

Doesn't work for me in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari so I'm going to say no it's not possible.

No, you need to use a separate script, and do not use a self-closing tag, I've wasted many hours figuring out a problem because I used a self-closing script tag.

Use:

<script type="text/javascript" src="xxx.js"></script>

NOT

<script type="text/javascript" src="xxx.js" />
