The presence of the DEFER attribute instructs the
browser to render regular HTML content without looking for the script
to generate content as the page loads. This is an advisory attribute

HTML content as it parses the content of the
SCRIPT element in search of
document.write() statements.
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript" DEFER> ... </SCRIPT>
