If you're new to programming/scripting, JavaScript is a good place to start. Having said that, it's still quite different to HTML so I recommend you take your time and cover off a little bit each day. Don't worry if it takes you several days to complete - it's better to fully understand everything than to brush over it and not fully comprehend it.
I suggest you bookmark this tutorial now, then continue on.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a scripting language that enables web developers/designers to build more functional and interactive websites.
Common uses of JavaScript include:
- Alert messages
- Popup windows
- Dynamic dropdown menus
- Form validation
- Displaying date/time
What do I need to create JavaScript?
You can create JavaScript using the same equipment you use when creating HTML. That is:- Computer
- Text editor. For example, Notepad (for Windows), Pico (for Linux), or Simpletext (Mac). You could use a HTML editor if you like but it's not needed.
- Web Browser. For example, Internet Explorer or Firefox. You will need to ensure JavaScript is enabled within your browser's settings (this is normally enabled by default).
