Sinopsis

JavaScript is the premier client-side scripting language used today on the Web. It’s widely used in tasks ranging from the validation of form data to the creation of complex user interfaces. Yet the language has capabilities that many of its users have yet to discover. JavaScript can be used to manipulate the very markup in the documents in which it is contained. As more developers discover its true power, JavaScript is becoming a first class client-side Web technology, ranking alongside (X)HTML, CSS, and XML. As such, it will be a language that any Web designer would be remiss not to master. This chapter serves as a brief introduction to the language and how it is included in Web pages.
 

Note JavaScript can also be used outside of Web pages, for example, in Windows Script Host or for application development with Mozilla or Jscript.NET. We primarily focus on client-side JavaScript embedded in Web pages, but the core language is the same no matter where it is used; only the runtime environment (for example, the browser objects discussed in Part II) is different.
