Why is this code not working? Is there any rule to put a script tag at the end of the body (when I put the script tag at the end of the body, the code works).

I tried putting the script tag in the head, still not working. Shouldn't the script tag work anywhere inside the body?

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>    
<script>
    document.getElementById('output').innerHTML += ('starting...');

    var myTimer = window.setTimeout(writeEnding,500);
    document.getElementById('output').innerHTML += ('continuing...');

    function writeEnding(){
        document.getElementById('output').innerHTML += ('ending!');
    }
</script>

<p id="output"></p>
</body>
</html>
