When someone visits a web page, it loads into the browser. The HTML is converted into a visible display.
If the browser is JavaScript enabled then the JavaScript program lines are interpreted and executed. If the JavaScript directs any visible effects, those effects become visible in the page display.
Although all of thee JavaScript code is interpreted during loading not all of it will be executed right away.
JavaScript program lines within HTML tags are executed only when the link or form element is activated, such as the mouseover link example above. And functions are executed only when a program lines calls them.
