    Which is the safer bet, to place your JS (including external JS) within the <head></head> tags or at the very end of your <body></body> tag? Or better yet, is it more efficient to simply use the code below:
    

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Method 1:
document.body.onload = function(){
     //execute all js functions
}

//Method 2: Is this even correct?
document.onload = function(){
     //execute all js functions
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
    Code (markup):
    Which do you prefer to use?
