  • Comments can be added to explain the JavaScript, or to make the code more readable. Single line comments start with //.
  • Multi line comments start with /* and end with */.
  • In the following example the comment is used to prevent the execution of a single code line (can be suitable for debugging): Example <script type="text/javascript"> //document.write("<h1>This is a heading</h1>");
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • In the following example the comment is used to prevent the execution of a code block (can be suitable for debugging): Example <script type="text/javascript"> /* document.write("<h1>This is a heading</h1>"); document.write("<p>This is a paragraph.</p>"); document.write("<p>This is another paragraph.</p>"); */
  • In the following example the comment is placed at the end of a code line: Example <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello"); // Write "Hello" document.write(" Dolly!"); // Write " Dolly!"

  • JavaScript is Case Sensitive
  • A JavaScript statement is a command to a browser. The purpose of the command is to tell the browser what to do.
  • It is normal to add a semicolon at the end of each executable statement.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Using semicolons makes it possible to write multiple statements on one line.
  • JavaScript code (or just JavaScript) is a sequence of JavaScript statements.
  • Each statement is executed by the browser in the sequence they are written.
  • JavaScript statements can be grouped together in blocks. Blocks start with a left curly bracket {, and ends with a right curly bracket }.
  • The purpose of a block is to make the sequence of statements execute together.
  • Normally a block is used to group statements together in a function or in a condition (where a group of statements should be executed if a condition is met).

  • JavaScripts in a page will be executed immediately while the page loads into the browser.
  • Scripts to be executed when they are called, or when an event is triggered, are placed in functions.
  • put all your functions in the head section, this way they are all in one place and do not interfere with page content.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function message() { alert("This alert box was called with the onload event"); } </script> </head>
  • Scripts placed in the body section are often used to display page content while the page loads.
  • JavaScript can also be placed in external files.
  • External JavaScript files often contains code to be used on several different web pages.
  • External JavaScript files have the file extension .js
  • External script cannot contain the <script></script> tags!
  • To use an external script, point to the .js file in the "src" attribute of the <script> tag:
  • <script type="text/javascript" src="xxx.js"></script>

  • The HTML <script> tag is used to insert a JavaScript into an HTML page.
  • <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Hello World!"); </script>
  • how to add HTML tags to the JavaScript: Example <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("<h1>Hello World!</h1>"); </script> </body> </html>
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • By entering the document.write command between the <script> and </script> tags, the browser will recognize it as a JavaScript command and execute the code line.
  • The document.write command is a standard JavaScript command for writing output to a page.
  • the <script type="text/javascript"> and </script> tells where the JavaScript starts and ends
  • Browsers that do not support JavaScript, will display JavaScript as page content. To prevent them from doing this, and as a part of the JavaScript standard, the HTML comment tag should be used to "hide" the JavaScript. Just add an HTML comment tag <!-- before the first JavaScript statement, and a --> (end of comment) after the last JavaScript statement

shared by Sunny Jackson on 10 Jul 13 - Cached
  • JavaScript has three kind of popup boxes: Alert box, Confirm box, and Prompt box.
  • Alert Box An alert box is often used if you want to make sure information comes through to the user. When an alert box pops up, the user will have to click "OK" to proceed.
  • Syntax alert("sometext");
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("I am an alert box!"); } </script>
  • Confirm Box A confirm box is often used if you want the user to verify or accept something. When a confirm box pops up, the user will have to click either "OK" or "Cancel" to proceed. If the user clicks "OK", the box returns true. If the user clicks "Cancel", the box returns false. Syntax confirm("sometext");
  • <script type="text/javascript"> function show_confirm() { var r=confirm("Press a button"); if (r==true)   {   alert("You pressed OK!");   } else   {   alert("You pressed Cancel!");   } } </script>
  • Prompt Box A prompt box is often used if you want the user to input a value before entering a page. When a prompt box pops up, the user will have to click either "OK" or "Cancel" to proceed after entering an input value. If the user clicks "OK" the box returns the input value. If the user clicks "Cancel" the box returns null. Syntax prompt("sometext","defaultvalue");
  • <script type="text/javascript"> function show_prompt() { var name=prompt("Please enter your name","Harry Potter"); if (name!=null && name!="")   {   document.write("Hello " + name + "! How are you today?");   } } </script>

  • Conditional statements are used to perform different actions based on different conditions.
  • if statement - use this statement to execute some code only if a specified condition is true
  • if...else statement - use this statement to execute some code if the condition is true and another code if the condition is false
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • if...else if....else statement - use this statement to select one of many blocks of code to be executed
  • switch statement - use this statement to select one of many blocks of code to be executed
  • Use the if statement to execute some code only if a specified condition is true. Syntax if (condition)   {   code to be executed if condition is true   }
  • Note that if is written in lowercase letters. Using uppercase letters (IF) will generate a JavaScript error!
  • Notice that there is no ..else.. in this syntax. You tell the browser to execute some code only if the specified condition is true.
  • If...else Statement Use the if....else statement to execute some code if a condition is true and another code if the condition is not true.
  • Syntax if (condition)   {   code to be executed if condition is true   } else   {   code to be executed if condition is not true   }
  • If...else if...else Statement Use the if....else if...else statement to select one of several blocks of code to be executed. Syntax if (condition1)   {   code to be executed if condition1 is true   } else if (condition2)   {   code to be executed if condition2 is true   } else   {   code to be executed if condition1 and condition2 are not true   }

shared by Sunny Jackson on 10 Jul 13 - Cached
  • Comparison operators can be used in conditional statements to compare values and take action depending on the result: if (age<18) document.write("Too young");
  • JavaScript also contains a conditional operator that assigns a value to a variable based on some condition. Syntax variablename=(condition)?value1:value2

  • = is used to assign values.
  • + is used to add values.
  • The + operator can also be used to add string variables or text values together.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • To add two or more string variables together, use the + operator. txt1="What a very"; txt2="nice day"; txt3=txt1+txt2;
  • To add a space between the two strings, insert a space into one of the strings: txt1="What a very "; txt2="nice day"; txt3=txt1+txt2; or insert a space into the expression: txt1="What a very"; txt2="nice day"; txt3=txt1+" "+txt2;
  • If you add a number and a string, the result will be a string!

shared by Sunny Jackson on 10 Jul 13 - Cached
  • Variables are "containers" for storing information.
  • variables can be used to hold values (x=5) or expressions (z=x+y).
  • A variable can have a short name, like x, or a more descriptive name, like carname.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Rules for JavaScript variable names: Variable names are case sensitive (y and Y are two different variables) Variable names must begin with a letter or the underscore character
  • Creating variables in JavaScript is most often referred to as "declaring" variables.
  • You can declare JavaScript variables with the var keyword: var x; var carname;
  • they have no values yet
  • you can also assign values to the variables when you declare them: var x=5; var carname="Volvo";
  • When you assign a text value to a variable, use quotes around the value.
  • If you assign values to variables that have not yet been declared, the variables will automatically be declared.
  • These statements: x=5; carname="Volvo"; have the same effect as: var x=5; var carname="Volvo";

  • Loops execute a block of code a specified number of times, or while a specified condition is true.
  • In JavaScript, there are two different kind of loops: for - loops through a block of code a specified number of times while - loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true
  • The for Loop The for loop is used when you know in advance how many times the script should run. Syntax for (variable=startvalue;variable<=endvalue;variable=variable+increment) { code to be executed }

shared by Sunny Jackson on 10 Jul 13 - Cached
  • A function will be executed by an event or by a call to the function.
  • To keep the browser from executing a script when the page loads, you can put your script into a function.
  • A function contains code that will be executed by an event or by a call to the function.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • You may call a function from anywhere within a page (or even from other pages if the function is embedded in an external .js file).
  • Functions can be defined both in the <head> and in the <body> section of a document. However, to assure that a function is read/loaded by the browser before it is called, it could be wise to put functions in the <head> section.
  • How to Define a Function Syntax function functionname(var1,var2,...,varX) { some code }
  • The { and the } defines the start and end of the function.
  • The parameters var1, var2, etc. are variables or values passed into the function.
  • A function with no parameters must include the parentheses () after the function name.
  • The word function must be written in lowercase letters, otherwise a JavaScript error occurs!
  • Also note that you must call a function with the exact same capitals as in the function name.
  • The return Statement The return statement is used to specify the value that is returned from the function. So, functions that are going to return a value must use the return statement.
  • <script type="text/javascript"> function product(a,b) { return a*b; } </script>
  • If you declare a variable, using "var", within a function, the variable can only be accessed within that function. When you exit the function, the variable is destroyed. These variables are called local variables.
  • You can have local variables with the same name in different functions, because each is recognized only by the function in which it is declared.
  • If you declare a variable outside a function, all the functions on your page can access it. The lifetime of these variables starts when they are declared, and ends when the page is closed.
