Javascript file not being called at appropriate time in 2.0?

Quick 2.0 question. I have this script in my <HEAD> tag:

<script TYPE="text/javascript" src="js/myscripts.js"></script>

I'm using the callback functionality of 2.0 and the page doesn't work
correctly because the javascript file is clearly being loaded at some
time that is incompatible with the back-end code. HOWEVER, when I copy
and paste the actual script (the javascript code, not the file) in the
exact same place in the <HEAD> tag, everything works great.

Why is that?

when you link to script source, its loaded async when resources are
available. the browser will typically queue download requests as it only
allows 2 downloads at once. inline script is processed as soon as its
parsed. you can safely call linked code after the onload event fires in the
browser.

so in inline script you can:

line 1<br>
<script>document.write("line2<br>");</script>
line 3<br>

and get what you expect.


note: in the browser onload event fires after all content is parsed (not
neccessary rendered).
