  • It's widely used on the internet, supporting various major browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera
  • JavaScript is lightweight, interpreting scripts without initial compilation
  • It's embedded directly into HTML pages
  • It's a versatile tool for dynamic HTML creation, manipulation of HTML elements, validating user data, and responding to user interactions.
  • Java and JavaScript are fundamentally different programming languages

Introduction to JavaScript

  • Used in millions of web pages to improve design, validate forms, detect browsers, and create cookies.
  • Highly popular scripting language.

What is JavaScript?

  • Designed for adding interactivity to HTML pages
  • A scripting language.
  • Scripting language is a lightweight programming language
  • Typically embedded directly into HTML pages.
  • Interpreted language. This means scripts run without pre-compilation.
  • Can be used by anyone without licensing fees.
  • Distinct from Java, differing significantly in design principles.

What can JavaScript do?

  • Provide dynamic text within HTML pages.
  • React to user actions like page loads or clicks on elements.
  • Modify and update HTML elements.
  • Validate input data before transmission.
  • Detect the visitor's browser.

JavaScript Variables
