I'm pretty new to programming. Can someone describe to me what Javascript is used for?

demo 22 Dec 2008 08:37pm I looked this up online, but couldn't quite understand fully what Javascript is used for. Can you give me examples of what you can do with this language? If you can explain this at a beginners level, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks so much! |

demo 22 Dec 2008 08:54pm If you're familiar with HTML, then you'll appreciate Javascript. Javascript, as its most basic purpose, makes your webpage's content more dynamic and less static! For example, you've probably seen this, when you move your mouse on top of an image button, it changes the button's look. Afterwards, it goes back to its original image when the mouse is off of the button. this would be Javascript at work. I have Javascript on my website's navagation bar. Check it out: |

demo 22 Dec 2008 08:56pm You can use Javascript to check a form. For instance, if you are ordering something online from a form on a webpage. You usually need to input data such as your personal information (name, address, etc.) The form can use Javascript to ensure you entered all the information it requires before the form actually gets submitted. Have you ever hit enter on a form and it came back telling you that you missed your address? or your name? that is usually javascript programming. Javascript is a progamming language that will enable a programmer to handle the interaction a user has with a webpage. |
