Why should you avoid using inline JavaScript event handlers like onclick="handleClick()"?

Inline handlers mix behavior with structure, violate modern Content Security Policies (CSP) which block 'unsafe-inline', cannot be shared across multiple elements, and create difficult debugging scenarios.

What is the execution order difference between 'async' and 'defer'?

'async' executes immediately as soon as the file finishes downloading, without regard to document order. 'defer' downloads in parallel but waits until the DOM is fully constructed, executing scripts in the exact sequence they appear in the HTML.

What does the 'type="module"' attribute do when applied to a tag?

It treats the script as an ES6 JavaScript module, allowing 'import' and 'export' statements. Modules are automatically executed with 'defer' behavior, operate in strict mode ('use strict'), and have their own private top-level scope.
