Javascript Execution Question

Question

If I have an event that runs multiple javascripts does the following script wait until the previous script is complete before it runs?

Example:

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:SCRIPT_1();SCRIPT_2();SCRIPT_3();">Test Me</a>

Will SCRIPT_2 not execute until SCRIPT_1 is complete doing its stuff?

Thanks.

Answer 1

AFAIK, yes, javascript execution is synchronous. So, SCRIPT_2 will not execute untill SCRIPT_1 is done.

edit Yep, the accepted answer on when-is-javascript-synchronous is worth a read

Answer 2

That is correct. Javascript is executed synchronously so SCRIPT_1 will complete before SCRIPT_2 begins (at least when defined like you have).
