This tag can define JavaScript snippets or functions to manipulate variables as defined by <input> and action elements.

You can use tags within JavaScript code snippets by closing and then reopening the script snippet. The following is an example:

    <script>
        for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
    </script>
            <notice msg="${'Number is: '+i}"/>
    <script>
        }
    </script>

Within the script tag, the use of < and > is restrictive. Use XML escaping if these characters are required.

For further details, see JavaScript Usage. This tag has no attributes or children.
