    A Review
    JavaScript
    JavaScript is a Scripting Language
    A scripting language is a lightweight
    programming language. JavaScript is
    (relatively) easy to learn.
    JavaScript code can be inserted into
    any HTML page, and it can be
    executed by all types of web browsers.
    JavaScript
    A script is usually written as part of an
    HTML document and it controls the
    elements of a page and reacts to user
    actions.
    Error: Can not process
    Love me request.
    Love me

    It uses simple commands which


    manipulate the parts of a web page.
    Question:

    JavaScript Java
    (CMSC 2 and CMSC 100) (CMSC 22)
    JavaScript
    JavaScript has very little
    to do with the
    programming language
    named Java.

    The similar name was


    inspired by marketing
    considerations, rather
    than good judgement.
    JavaScript
    JavaScript is usually used for the
    following purposes:
    Customizing a page based on the
    user's browser version
    Providing visual feedback to user
    actions
    Checking for mistakes in forms before
    they are submitted
    JavaScript
    JavaScripts in HTML must be inserted
    between <script> and </script>
    tags.

    JavaScripts can be put in the <body>


    and in the <head> section of an HTML
    page.

    script
    JavaScript
    <script>
    put your javascript
    code here
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    put your javascript
    code here
    </script>
    JavaScript
    <body>
    <head>
    <script>
    put your javascript
    code here
    </script>
    </head>
    </body>

    <script src="myScript.js"></script>
    JavaScript
    Manipulating HTML Elements
    To access an HTML element from
    JavaScript, you can use the
    document.getElementById(id)
    method.
    Use the "id" attribute to identify the
    HTML element
    JavaScript
    <body>
    <p id="demo">My First Paragraph.</p>
    <script>
    document.getElementById("demo").
    innerHTML="My First JavaScript";
    </script>
    </body>
    JavaScript
    <body>
    <script>
    document.getElementById("demo").
    innerHTML="My First JavaScript";
    </script>
    <p id="demo">My First Paragraph.</p>
    </body>
    JavaScript
    JavaScript Statements
    JavaScript statements are
    "commands" to tell the browser what
    to do.
    It is good practice to put a semicolon
    at the end of your javascript
    statements.
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML="My First JavaScript";
    JavaScript
    JavaScript is Case Sensitive
    getElementById is not the
    same as getElementbyID.

    JavaScript ignores extra spaces.


    var num="143"; is same as
    var num = "143";
    JavaScript
    JavaScript Comments
    Comments in JavaScript are just like
    comments in C.
    Comments can be added to explain
    the JavaScript, or to make the code
    more readable.
    JavaScript
    Single line comments start with //.
    // print an emo name
    document.write("<p>Marteer</p>");
    Multi line comments start with /* and
    end with */.
    /*This is an example
    Of a multiline comment. This will
    Be ignored by the browser.*/
    document.write("<p>Marteer</p>");
    JavaScript
    JavaScript variables are "containers"
    for storing information.
    Variable names must begin with a letter,
    $, or _
    Variable names are case sensitive (sum
    and Sum are different variables)
    var age = 17;
    var $age= 17;
    var _age= 17;
    JavaScript
    When you assign a numeric value to a
    variable, do not put quotes around the
    value.
    If you put quotes around a numeric
    value, it will be treated as text.
    var pi=3.14;
    var pie="3.14";
    var fruit='buko';
