My javascript isn't recognized in chrome?
Question
It's the first day for me to try javascript, and I use chrome developer tool now. The following example should print "My First JavaScript" to the website, but nothing is there. I put document.write("My First JavaScript") in the console, it just put "My First JavaScript" outside the <script> label, then prints the right result. I do google search to know that JavaScript is surrounded by a <script> and </script> tag, but it seems doesn't work in html. Please help me with this. Thanks!
<html>
<body>
<script>
document.write("My First JavaScript");
</script>
</body>
</html>

I would take a step back and listen to some of the advice in the comments here. As a Javascript newbie myself, I found the most helpful tutorials were the interactive lessons at CodeAcademy.com
As for the actual code... what you describe is actually how it should work. Think of the console as being wrapped by those tags. Essentially, it's as if you put the command into a text file and included it in a script tag as you would for other JavaScript.
Document.write will take an HTML document and render it to your screen. In this case you're only sending it a single string (a bit of text) and the browser is building out the rest of that HTML that you see to make it a valid document.
