Как найти скрипты на странице

Updated: 03/12/2022 by

Many web pages utilize JavaScript to add dynamic and immersive elements for viewers. Some web developers may want to learn how to create the same elements and effects for their web pages. Viewing the JavaScript code for a web page helps developers learn and implement similar elements.

There are two main ways to view the JavaScript code used on a web page. Select from the list below to learn about each method.

View web page source code

Some web pages have JavaScript inline with the rest of the HTML source code. Web developers sometimes add JavaScript directly in the HTML when that JavaScript is used only on one web page.

For most browsers, to view inline JavaScript in the HTML source code, do one of the following.

• Press the Ctrl+U keyboard shortcut.
• Right-click an empty area on the web page and select the View page source or similar option in the pop-up menu.

Using either method above, the HTML source code is displayed. To find inline JavaScript code, look for a <script type=”text/javascript”> tag, denoting the start of the JavaScript.

Inspect web page elements

If JavaScript is used on multiple web pages, it is often referenced in the HTML code through a link to a .js file containing the JavaScript. Using a .js file allows a web developer to change JavaScript code once and apply it to all their web pages.

To view JavaScript contained in a .js file, select your browser below.
