If the element has a src content attribute, run these substeps:
Let src be the value of the element’s src attribute.
If src is the empty string, queue a task to fire a simple event named
error at the element, and abort these steps.
Resolve src relative to the element.
If the previous step failed, queue a task to fire a simple event named
error at the element, and abort these steps.
Do a potentially CORS-enabled fetch of the resulting absolute URL,
with the mode being the current state of the element’s crossorigin
content attribute, the origin being the origin of the script element’s
Document, and the default origin behaviour set to taint.
The resource obtained in this fashion can be either CORS-same-origin
or CORS-cross-origin. This only affects how error reporting happens.
For performance reasons, user agents may start fetching the script (as
defined above) as soon as the src attribute is set, instead, in the
hope that the element will be inserted into the document (and that the
crossorigin attribute won’t change value in the meantime). Either way,
once the element is inserted into the document, the load must have
started as described in this step. If the UA performs such
prefetching, but the element is never inserted in the document, or the
src attribute is dynamically changed, or the crossorigin attribute is
dynamically changed, then the user agent will not execute the script
so obtained, and the fetching process will have been effectively
wasted.
Then, the first of the following options that describes the situation
must be followed:
If the element has a src attribute, and the element has a defer
attribute, and the element has been flagged as “parser-inserted”, and
the element does not have an async attribute The element must be added
to the end of the list of scripts that will execute when the document
has finished parsing associated with the Document of the parser that
created the element.
The task that the networking task source places on the task queue once
the fetching algorithm has completed must set the element’s “ready to
be parser-executed” flag. The parser will handle executing the script.
If the element has a src attribute, and the element has been flagged
as “parser-inserted”, and the element does not have an async attribute
The element is the pending parsing-blocking script of the Document of
the parser that created the element. (There can only be one such
script per Document at a time.)
The task that the networking task source places on the task queue once
the fetching algorithm has completed must set the element’s “ready to
be parser-executed” flag. The parser will handle executing the script.
If the element does not have a src attribute, and the element has been
flagged as “parser-inserted”, and either the parser that created the
script is an XML parser or it’s an HTML parser whose script nesting
level is not greater than one, and the Document of the HTML parser or
XML parser that created the script element has a style sheet that is
blocking scripts The element is the pending parsing-blocking script of
the Document of the parser that created the element. (There can only
be one such script per Document at a time.)
Set the element’s “ready to be parser-executed” flag. The parser will
handle executing the script.
If the element has a src attribute, does not have an async attribute,
and does not have the “force-async” flag set The element must be added
to the end of the list of scripts that will execute in order as soon
as possible associated with the Document of the script element at the
time the prepare a script algorithm started.
The task that the networking task source places on the task queue once
the fetching algorithm has completed must run the following steps:
If the element is not now the first element in the list of scripts
that will execute in order as soon as possible to which it was added
above, then mark the element as ready but abort these steps without
executing the script yet.
Execution: Execute the script block corresponding to the first script
element in this list of scripts that will execute in order as soon as
possible.
Remove the first element from this list of scripts that will execute
in order as soon as possible.
If this list of scripts that will execute in order as soon as possible
is still not empty and the first entry has already been marked as
ready, then jump back to the step labeled execution.
If the element has a src attribute The element must be added to the
set of scripts that will execute as soon as possible of the Document
of the script element at the time the prepare a script algorithm
started.
The task that the networking task source places on the task queue once
the fetching algorithm has completed must execute the script block and
then remove the element from the set of scripts that will execute as
soon as possible.
Otherwise The user agent must immediately execute the script block,
even if other scripts are already executing. Fetching an external
script must delay the load event of the element’s document until the
task that is queued by the networking task source once the resource
has been fetched (defined above) has been run.
