- It includes objects like Window, Navigator, Location, History, and Screen.
The Window Object
- Represents the browser's window.
- Global variables are properties of the window object.
- Global functions are methods of the window object.
- The document object (HTML DOM) is a property of the window object.
-
window.innerHeight
returns the inner height of the browser window in pixels. -
window.innerWidth
returns the inner width of the browser window in pixels.
The Window Screen
- The
window.screen
object provides information about the user's screen. - It can be accessed directly without the
window
prefix.
The Window Location
- The
window.location
object allows access to the current page's URL. - It can be accessed directly without the
window
prefix. -
window.location.href
property returns the URL of the current page.
The Window History
- The
window.history
object contains the browser's history. - It can be accessed directly without the
window
prefix. - JavaScript has limited access to this object to protect user privacy.
Window Popup Boxes
- JavaScript offers three types of popup boxes: Alert, Confirm, and Prompt.
Alert Box
- Displays a message to the user.
- The user must click "OK" to proceed.
Confirm Box
- Asks the user to confirm or accept something.
- The user clicks either "OK" (returns
true
) or "Cancel" (returnsfalse
). - The
window.confirm()
method can be used directly without thewindow
prefix.
Prompt Box
- Prompts the user to enter a value.
- Returns the input value if the user clicks "OK" or
null
if they click "Cancel".
The Document Object Model (DOM)
- The DOM represents the structure of an HTML document.
- It provides access to elements, attributes, styles, and events.
- JavaScript can change all HTML elements, attributes, and styles.
- DOM methods allow actions to be performed on HTML elements.
Finding HTML Elements
- The
document
object represents the entire web page. - Access elements using methods like
getElementById()
,getElementsByTagName()
,querySelector()
, andquerySelectorAll()
.
Changing HTML Content
- The DOM enables content modification using the
innerHTML
property. - To change the content of an HTML element:
-
element.innerHTML = "new content";
- Example:
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = "This is new content!";
-
Changing HTML Style
- The DOM allows manipulating styles using the
style
property. - Change styles using JavaScript:
-
element.style.property = "value";
- Example:
document.getElementById("myDiv").style.color = "red";
-
Using Events
- Events occur in response to user actions or browser events.
- Use the
addEventListener()
method to attach functions to events. - Example:
document.getElementById("myButton").addEventListener("click", function() { alert("Button clicked!"); });
The Browser Object Model
- The Browser Object Model (BOM) allows JavaScript to interact with the browser.
- Common BOM objects include:
- Window
- Navigator
- Location
- History
- Screen
The Window Object
- The window object is globally accessible and represents the browser window.
- Global variables are essentially properties of the window object.
- Global functions are methods of the window object.
- The document object (of the HTML DOM) is a property of the window object.
Window Size
-
window.innerHeight
returns the inner height of the browser window in pixels. -
window.innerWidth
returns the inner width of the browser window in pixels.
Window Screen
- The window.screen object provides information about the user's screen.
- You can access this object directly without the
window
prefix.
Window Location
- The window.location object allows you to access and manipulate the current URL.
- You can write this object without the
window
prefix. - The
window.location.href
property returns the URL of the current page.
Window History
- The window.history object stores the browser's history.
- You can access it without the
window
prefix. - Due to privacy concerns, JavaScript has limited access to this object.
Window Popup Boxes
- JavaScript provides three types of popup boxes:
- Alert Box: Displays a message and requires the user to click "OK" to proceed.
-
Confirm Box: Presents a message with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons, returning
true
if "OK" is clicked andfalse
otherwise. -
Prompt Box: Allows the user to input a value, returning the input if "OK" is clicked and
null
if "Cancel" is clicked.
The Document Object Model
Understanding of HTML DOM
- The Document Object Model (DOM) represents the structure of an HTML webpage.
- JavaScript can manipulate the DOM to dynamically change HTML content, attributes, styles, and events.
DOM Document
- The document object represents the entire web page.
- Accessing any element of an HTML page starts with the document object.
Finding HTML Elements
- You can use various methods to find specific HTML elements, such as:
- getElementById(): Finds an element by its ID.
- getElementsByTagName(): Finds elements by their tag name.
- getElementsByClassName(): Finds elements by their class name.
Changing HTML Content
- Use the innerHTML property to change the content of an HTML element:
-
document.getElementById("id").innerHTML = "New Content";
-
Changing HTML Attributes
- Modify an HTML element's attributes using the setAttribute() method:
-
document.getElementById("id").setAttribute("attribute", "new value");
-
Changing HTML Style
- Use the style property to change the style of an HTML element:
-
document.getElementById("id").style.color = "red";
-
Using Events
- JavaScript handles events triggered by actions on HTML elements.
- You can attach event handlers using the addEventListener() method:
-
document.getElementById("id").addEventListener("click", function() { alert("Button clicked!"); });
-
The Browser Object Model (BOM)
- Allows JavaScript to interact with the browser
- Includes objects like Window, Navigator, Location, History, and Screen
The Window Object
- Represents the browser's window
- Global variables are properties of the window object
- Global functions are methods of the window object
- The document object is a property of the window object
Window Size
-
window.innerHeight
: inner height of the browser window (in pixels) -
window.innerWidth
: inner width of the browser window (in pixels)
Window Screen
-
window.screen
object contains information about the user's screen.
Window Location
-
window.location
object provides information about the current URL. -
window.location.href
property returns the URL of the current page.
Window History
-
window.history
object contains the browser's history.
Window Popup Boxes
- There are three types of popup boxes:
- Alert Box: Alerts the user with a message and requires an "OK" click to proceed.
-
Confirm Box: Asks the user to confirm an action with "OK" or "Cancel" options. Returns
true
for "OK" andfalse
for "Cancel". -
Prompt Box: Prompts the user for input. Returns the input value for "OK" and
null
for "Cancel".
The Document Object Model (DOM)
- Allows JavaScript to manipulate HTML elements, attributes, styles, and events.
DOM Document
- Represents the web page.
- Accessing the
document
object is the starting point for manipulating HTML.
Finding HTML Elements
- The
document
object provides methods for finding HTML elements.
Changing HTML Content
- The
innerHTML
property is used to change the content of HTML elements.
Changing HTML Style
- The DOM allows JavaScript to change the style of HTML elements.
Using Events
- Allow code execution when events occur in HTML elements.
