JavaScript Basics

What you need to use JavaScript
See what is required for you to be able to see and use JavaScript for your site.

Basic Recognition of a JavaScript
See the basic format of a JavaScript so that you can recognize a javascript when you see one in the HTML code.

onMouseover: Your first Script
Make something happen by surprise. Well, it used to be a surprise, but it is used quite a bit now.

Using Buttons for JavaScripts
A two-part section on using buttons to make something happen. The buttons can be used in many ways, even as forward and back buttons.

JavaScript Alerts
Alert! Alert! How to pester your viewers until they can't take any more. Oh yes, and how to create a JavaScript alert box.

Variables, Functions, Operators, Conditionals
In a two-part section, we jump into the world of creating variables and functions. Then we look at some javascript operators and conditional statements.

JavaScript Prompts
Prompt viewers for input, and use the input to write a viewer's name right on your page.

Passwords
A two-part section on using prompts to get passwords from your viewers. The scripts are not very secure, but they help with learning prompts, alerts, and redirection.

Confirmation Boxes
See how to use confirmation boxes to give your viewers a choice on an action. This is handy as a way of asking "Are you sure you want to....?".

Browser Detection
See how to use browser detection to determine what type of browsers your visitors are using.

Redirection
See how to redirect viewers based on the browsers, or how to break frames and/or redirect a viewer to your frames for navigation.

Opening a New Window
Open a new browser window with javascript that can look like a fairly plain window or another browser.

Using Link Tags For Scripts
Use the link tag instead of a button to access your javascripts. If you like links better than buttons, this is the place to be.
