    R JavaScript is usually embedded directly into HTML pages


    R JavaScript is an interpreted language (means that scripts execute without preliminary compilation)

    Javascript is used to add code to an html page by programming to provide some


    functionality (to implement some logic).

    hy is javascripts used?

    R JavaScript gives HTML designers a programming tool - HTML authors are normally not
    programmers, but JavaScript is a scripting language with a very simple syntax! Almost anyone can
    put small "snippets" of code into their HTML pages
    R JavaScript can put dynamic text into an HTML page - A JavaScript statement like this:
    document.write("<h1>" + name + "</h1>") can write a variable text into an HTML page
    R JavaScript can react to events - A JavaScript can be set to execute when something happens,
    like when a page has finished loading or when a user clicks on an HTML element
    R JavaScript can read and write HTML elements - A JavaScript can read and change the content
    of an HTML element
    R JavaScript can be used to validate data - A JavaScript can be used to validate form data before
    it is submitted to a server. This saves the server from extra processing
    R JavaScript can be used to detect the visitor's browser - A JavaScript can be used to detect the
    visitor's browser, and - depending on the browser - load another page specifically designed for that
    browser

    How to use javascript?

    <html>
    <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write("Hello World!");
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    The word document.write is a standard JavaScript command for writing output to a page. 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.

    JavaScripts in the body section will be executed HILE the page loads.

    JavaScripts in the head section will be executed when CALLED.

    External script;

    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>

    <script src="xxx.js">
    </script>

    JavaScript Statements

    A JavaScript statement is a command to the browser. The purpose of the command is to tell the browser
    what to do.

    JavaScript Blocks

    JavaScript statements can be grouped together in blocks.

    Blocks start with a left curly bracket {, and ends with a right curly bracket }.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    {
    document.write("<h1>This is a header</h1>");
    document.write("<p>This is a paragraph</p>");
    document.write("<p>This is another paragraph</p>");
    }
    </script>

    Implementing if then in javascript:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    //Write a "Good morning" greeting if
    //the time is less than 10
    var d=new Date();
    var time=d.getHours();

    if (time<10)
    {
    document.write("<b>Good morning</b>");
    }
    </script>

    {
    document.write("Hello " + name + "! How are you today?");
    }
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    <input type="button" onclick="disp_prompt()" value="Display a prompt box" />

    </body> </html>

    Confirm box
    <html>
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function disp_confirm()
    {
    var r=confirm("Press a button");
    if (r==true)
    {
    document.write("You pressed OK!");
    }
    else
    {
    document.write("You pressed Cancel!");
    }
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    <input type="button" onclick="disp_confirm()" value="Display a confirm box" />

    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function disp_alert()
    {
    alert("I am an alert box!!");
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    <input type="button" onclick="disp_alert()" value="Display alert box" />

    </body> </html>

    All the functions declarations are in the head..functions are later called in the body

    Every variable in javascript is of type var


    var today = new Date();
