I've got JS code in my <head> that I'd like to click an element in the <body>. This is causing errors even though I've tried to postpone running the JS by:

  • calling 'defer'
  • using 'document.onload'
  • using 'window.onload'
to postpone the execution.

Is there any way to have my JS in the <head> or do I just need to move it to the bottom of the <body>?

Here's a test page showing the issue:

  <head>
    <script defer>
      document.addEventListener(
        "DOMContentLoaded",
        document.getElementById("my_item").click()
      );
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1 id="my_item">Testing Defer JS</h1>
    <script></script>
  </body>
</head>
