How To Do Everything with JavaScript

How To Do Everything with JavaScript, 9780072228878 (0072228873), McGraw-Hill, 2003

This book is designed to help anyone interested in adding elements of interactivity to their personal
web pages. Some experience with a PC is required, as we will not cover how to access the Internet
or how to use a web browser. You don’t have to be an HTML expert, although it will help if you
have some experience with that language. When encountering new HTML for the first time,
I will briefly explain what’s going on, but always in the context of JavaScript.

Bring interactivity to any Web site with this easy-to-follow guidebook on JavaScript. Author Scott Duffy takes the fear out of working with a programming language by delivering instruction and theory in manageable doses, along with practical examples and plenty of ready-to-use code. Learn to write a program by exploring statements, variables, and functions--the three basic building blocks of any program. Use JavaScript as the behind-the-scenes director of your Web browser presentation. Create basic and advanced JavaScript applications--plus, modify existing scripts to suit your needs--all with the help of this great resource.

Write your own program using statements, variables, and functions
Learn the history of the language and what it can do for you
Enable movement and interactivity for your Web site
Determine which version of JavaScript is right for you
Store dates, numbers, and more with built-in classes
