  • Number
  • String
  • Boolean
  • Function
  • Object
  • Undefined

  • 'this' keyword refers to the object from where it was called.

Timers in JavaScript

  • Timers are used to execute a piece of code at a set time or to repeat the code in a given interval of time.
  • The functions setTimeout, setInterval, and clearInterval are used to operate timers.

Comments in JavaScript

  • // is used for single-line comments.
  • /* */ is used for multi-line comments.

ViewState and SessionState

  • ViewState is specific to a page in a session.
  • SessionState is specific to user-specific data that can be accessed across all pages in the web application.

=== Operator

  • === is called the strict equality operator, which returns true when the two operands are having the same value without any type conversion.

Submitting a Form

  • To submit a form using JavaScript, use document.form.submit();

Type Conversion

  • JavaScript supports automatic type conversion.

Changing Style/Class of an Element

  • The style/class of an element can be changed using document.getElementById(“myText”).style.fontSize = “20”; or document.getElementById(“myText”).className = “anyclass”;.

Reading and Writing a File

  • There are two ways to read and write a file using JavaScript: using JavaScript extensions and using a web page and Active X objects.

Looping Structures

  • For
  • While
  • do-while loops

Variable Typing

  • Variable typing is used to assign a number to a variable and then assign a string to the same variable.

Converting String to Integer

  • The parseInt() function is used to convert numbers between different bases.

== vs. ===

  • “==” checks only for equality in value, whereas “===” is a stricter equality test and returns false if either the value or the type of the two variables are different.

Operating System Detection

  • The navigator.platform string property is used to detect the operating system on the client machine.

NULL in JavaScript

  • The NULL value is used to represent no value or no object.

delete Operator

  • The delete keyword is used to delete the property as well as its value.

Undefined Value

  • Undefined value means the variable used in the code doesn’t exist, the variable is not assigned to any value, or the property doesn’t exist.

Pop-up Boxes

  • There are three types of pop-up boxes available in JavaScript: Alert, Confirm, and Prompt.

Other Topics

  • Void(0) is used to prevent the page from refreshing and parameter "zero" is passed while calling.
  • Cookies are small text files stored in a computer and are used to store information that websites need.
  • The pop() method is used to remove the last element from an array.
  • InnerHTML is used to replace the content of an HTML element, but it has some disadvantages.
  • Break and continue statements are used to control the flow of loops.
  • There are two basic groups of data types in JavaScript: Primitive and Reference types.
  • Try… Catch---finally is used to handle exceptions in JavaScript.
  • document.write() is used to print the text on the screen.
  • blur() function is used to remove the focus from the specified object.
  • The ‘Strict’ mode in JavaScript adds certain compulsions to JavaScript and can be enabled by adding the string literal “use strict” above the file.
  • The navigator.appVersion string is used to detect the operating system on the client machine.
  • Closures are used to retain a variable locally and are used when a function is returned from another function.
  • An anonymous function is a function that is declared without any named identifier.
  • The difference between .call() and .apply() is in the way arguments are passed to the function.
  • Event bubbling is a process in JavaScript that allows DOM elements to be nested inside each other.
  • JavaScript is case sensitive.### Hyperlinks and Frames
  • The target attribute is used to specify the frame in which a hyperlink should open.

Break and Continue Statements

  • The break statement is used to exit the current loop.
  • The continue statement is used to continue the current loop with a new iteration.

Web Hosting Systems

  • Web-garden and web-farm are both web hosting systems.
  • The difference between them is that web-garden uses multiple processors in a single server, while web-farm uses multiple servers.

Object Properties

  • Object properties are assigned in the same way as variables.
  • Example: Document.form.action = "submit".

File Input/Output in JavaScript

  • JavaScript extensions can be used to read and write files.
  • Example: fh = fopen(getScriptPath(), 0).

DOM in JavaScript

  • DOM stands for Document Object Model.
  • It is responsible for how objects in a document interact with each other.
  • DOM is required for developing web pages, which includes objects like paragraphs, links, etc.
  • It allows for adding or deleting objects, and adding extra capabilities to a web page.

Event Handlers

  • An event is an action that results from user activity, such as clicking a link or filling a form.
  • An event handler is required to manage the execution of these events.
  • Event handlers are an attribute of the object, including the event's name and the action taken if the event occurs.

Deferred Scripts

  • By default, HTML parsing is paused until the script has finished executing.
  • Deferred scripts delay the execution of the script until the HTML parser is running.
  • This reduces the loading time of web pages and makes them display faster.

Functional Components in JavaScript

  • First-class functions: Functions can be passed as arguments to other functions, returned as values from other functions, assigned to variables, or stored in data structures.
  • Nested functions: Functions defined inside other functions.

Errors in JavaScript

  • Load-time errors: Errors that occur at the time of page loading, often due to improper syntax.
  • Run-time errors: Errors that occur while the program is running, often due to illegal operations.
  • Logic errors: Errors caused by syntactically correct code that does not fulfill the required task.

Screen Objects

  • Screen objects are used to read information from the client's screen.
  • Properties of screen objects include:
    • AvailHeight: The height of the client's screen.
    • AvailWidth: The width of the client's screen.
    • ColorDepth: The bit depth of images on the client's screen.
    • Height: The total height of the client's screen, including the taskbar.
    • Width: The total width of the client's screen, including the taskbar.

Unshift() Method

  • The unshift() method adds elements to the beginning of an array.
  • Example: var name = ["john"]; name.unshift("charlie"); name.unshift("joseph", "Jane");.

Escape and Unescape Functions

  • The escape() function codes a string for transfer across a network.
  • The unescape() function decodes a coded string.

EncodeURI and DecodeURI

  • The encodeURI() function converts a URL into its hex coding.
  • The decodeURI() function converts the encoded URL back to normal.

InnerHTML

  • It is not advised to use innerHTML in JavaScript because it refreshes content every time and is slower.
  • There is no scope for validation in innerHTML, making it easier to insert rogue code.

Multidimensional Arrays

  • The statement var myArray = [[[]]] declares a three-dimensional array.

JavaScript and ECMA Script

  • ECMA Script provides rules and guidelines for JavaScript.
  • JavaScript is a scripting language used for web development.

Namespacing

  • Namespacing is used to group functions, variables, etc. under a unique name.
  • It improves modularity in coding and enables code reuse.

Hiding JavaScript Codes
