defer

Summary

Sets or retrieves the status of the script.

Remarks

Using the attribute at design time can improve the download performance of a document because the client does not need to parse and execute the script and can continue downloading and parsing the document instead.

Issues

IE<10 may interleave execution of scripts. Discussion on Github.

Combining scrips both standard and with defer that depend on each other. Discussion on Github.
