But, we need a working environment to run our scripts, and, just because this book is online, the browser is a good choice. We'll keep the amount of browser-specific commands (like `alert`) to a minimum, so that you don't spend time on them if you plan to concentrate on another environment like Node.JS. On the other hand, browser details are explained in detail in the [next part](/ui) of the tutorial.
So first, let's see how to attach a script to the webpage. For server-side environments, you can just execute it with a command like `"node my.js"` for Node.JS.

The benefit of a separate file is that the browser will download it and then store in its [cache](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_cache).
After this, other pages which want the same script will take it from the cache instead of downloading it. So the file is actually downloaded only once.

There is much more about browser scripts and their interaction with the web-page. But let's keep in mind that this part of the tutorial is devoted to JavaScript language, so we shouldn't distract ourselves from it. We'll be using a browser as a way to run JavaScript, which is very convenient for online reading, but yet one of many.
