HTMLScriptElement: src property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The src property of the HTMLScriptElement interface is a string representing the URL of an external script; this can be used as an alternative to embedding a script directly within a document.

It reflects the src attribute of the <script> element.

Value

A string.

Examples

Assume the code is running on a website whose URL is https://example.com.

html
<script id="script-with-src" type="module" src="/main.js"></script>
<script id="script-without-src" type="module"></script>
js
const script_with_src = document.getElementById("script-with-src");
console.log(script_with_src.src); // Output: "https://example.com/main.js"
const script_without_src = document.getElementById("script-without-src");
console.log(script_without_src.src); // Output: ""
