Where to insert javascript in aspx code to maximize browser window when opened?

I have an aspx web form that I want to open with the browser maximized. To do so I have found this code in a search here at EE. The post says "Just insert it in your aspx code". Can anyone tell me where exactly to insert it?

Here is the javascript to insert:

<script language="JavaScript1.2"> 
top.window.moveTo(0,0); 
if (document.all) 
   { top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight); } 
else if 
   (document.layers || document.getElementById) 
   { 
   if 
    (top.window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight || top.window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth)
     { top.window.outerHeight = top.screen.availHeight; 
       top.window.outerWidth = top.screen.availWidth; } 
   } 
</script>

Many thanks in advance. I've been messing with this for quite some time with no luck.

You should be able to place the script block inside the head block just before the end tag.

When I put it there though I get a "Validation (HTML5): Attribute 'language' is not a valid attribute of element 'script'." Not sure where to go from here. Thanks for your help Shaun.
