Can you Auto-Execute script in .js file?

[jsteph]

I'm just wondering what the mechanism for this is. I got a .js file from somewhere on the web, and did NOT do any onload=xxx or anything, I simply referenced the file in a <script> tag, and the thing is doing it's stuff.

So I'm just wondering---how does it do that?
Thanks,

If there is any code that is not inside of a function, it will be executed as soon as it is encountered.
