Unexpected token error while using javascript snippet with WPCode in wordpress

Question

I am trying to add custom javascript into my website for a widget on wordpress using the wpcode plugin but I keep getting an unexpected token error. There is a already created that isn't accessible in the text box where you add the code. Here is the line of javascript:

<script src="https://apis.owenscorning.com/client/widget.js" async></script>

I've tried deleting the opening and leaving the "src=" in hopes of it accepting the script that is inaccessible but the unexpected token error doesn't go away.

Here is the line of javascript: - that's HTML - anyway, there is no error when loading that script - what makes you think that script is the source of the error? Did you put that HTML in the middle of javascript? — Jaromanda X

Here is the link to what I am trying to add: owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/widgets/shingle-widget @JaromandaX It says its javascript. If not I can add it as html and see if that works. Thank you — TJ Cullen

I didn't supply a solution though, I suggested you that you may have put the tag in the middle of some javascript - is that what you fixed? — Jaromanda X

Yes that's the script tag which you would normally place in the <head> tag of your html file. However, that script of you paste that url into the browser you'll see its a self executing widget code. Since that code looks for the head tag on the document etc. I would like to recommend you place that script of code right at the bottom of your <body> closing tag:

E.g.

<body>
 ....[other code here]....
  <script src="https://apis.owenscorning.com/client/widget.js"></script>
</body>
