JavaScript and HTML You can think of JavaScript as an extension to HTML; an add-on, if you will. Written by Olumide kuforiji email:olumide.kuforiji at softchaseng.com Here's how it works. HTML tags create objects; JavaScript lets you manipulate those objects. For example, you use the HTML <BODY> and </BODY> tags to create a Web page, or document. As shown in Table 1, after that document is created, you can interact with it by using JavaScript. For example, you can use a special JavaScript construct called the onLoad event handler to trigger an action — play a little welcoming tune, perhaps — when the document is loaded onto a Web browser. Examples of other HTML objects that you interact with using JavaScript include windows, text fields, images, and embedded Java applets. Table 1: Creating and Working with Objects Object HTML Tag JavaScript Web page <BODY> . . . </BODY> document Image <IMG NAME="myImage"> document.myImage HTML form <FORM name="myForm"> . . . </FORM> document.myForm Button <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="myButton"> document.myForm.myButton To add JavaScript to a Web page, all you have to do is embed JavaScript code in an HTML file. Below the line in which you embed the JavaScript code, you can reference, or call, that JavaScript code in response to an event handler or an HTML link. You have two choices when it comes to embedding JavaScript code in an HTML file: You can use the <SCRIPT> and </SCRIPT> tags to include JavaScript code directly into an HTML file. In the example below, a JavaScript function called processOrder() is defined at the top of the HTML file. Further down in the HTML file, the JavaScript function is associated with an event handler — specifically, the processOrder button's onClick event handler. (In other words, the JavaScript code contained in the processOrder() function runs when a user clicks the processOrder button.) <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> // JavaScript statements go here function processOrder() { // More JavaScript statements go here } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM NAME="myForm"> <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="processOrder" VALUE="Click to process your order" onClick="processOrder();"> ... </HTML> You can use the <SCRIPT> and </SCRIPT> tags to include a separate, external JavaScript file (a file containing only JavaScript statements and bearing a .js extension) into an HTML file. In the example below, the JavaScript processOrder() function is defined in the myJSfile.js file. The function is triggered, or called, when the user clicks the Click Here to Process Your Order link. <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="myJSfile.js"> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <A HREF="javascript:processOrder();">Click here to process your order.</A> ... </BODY> </HTML> Because Web pages aren't made of HTML alone, JavaScript provides access to more than just HTML objects. JavaScript also provides access to browser- and platform-specific objects. Browser plug-ins (such as RealPlayer and Adobe Acrobat), the name and version of a particular viewer's browser, and the current date are all examples of non-HTML objects that you can work with by using JavaScript. |

Nice tutorial, keep it up |

Nice tutorial are you kidding me this is very much deprecated, first of al it should be text/javascript but that's not a big issue, however the content should never have javascript in the page but injected by loading a script and binding to the appropriate DOM, once javascript has been disabled the link is useless. this tutorial is way too old and should not be used for production sites. |
