1. OVERVIEW, , Javascript, , What is JavaScript?, Javascript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is lightweight and, most commonly used as a part of web pages, whose implementations allow, client-side script to interact with the user and make dynamic pages. It is an, interpreted programming language with object-oriented capabilities., JavaScript was first known as LiveScript, but Netscape changed its name to, JavaScript, possibly because of the excitement being generated by Java., JavaScript made its first appearance in Netscape 2.0 in 1995 with the, name LiveScript. The general-purpose core of the language has been, embedded in Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other web browsers., The ECMA-262 Specification defined a standard version of the core JavaScript, language., , , JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language., , , , Designed for creating network-centric applications., , , , Complementary to and integrated with Java., , , , Complementary to and integrated with HTML., , , , Open and cross-platform., , Client-Side JavaScript, Client-side JavaScript is the most common form of the language. The script, should be included in or referenced by an HTML document for the code to be, interpreted by the browser., It means that a web page need not be a static HTML, but can include programs, that interact with the user, control the browser, and dynamically create HTML, content., The JavaScript client-side mechanism provides many advantages over traditional, CGI server-side scripts. For example, you might use JavaScript to check if the, user has entered a valid e-mail address in a form field., The JavaScript code is executed when the user submits the form, and only if all, the entries are valid, they would be submitted to the Web Server., JavaScript can be used to trap user-initiated events such as button clicks, link, navigation, and other actions that the user initiates explicitly or implicitly., 2

Page 13 :
Javascript, , Advantages of JavaScript, The merits of using JavaScript are:, , , Less server interaction: You can validate user input before sending the, page off to the server. This saves server traffic, which means less load on, your server., , , , Immediate feedback to the visitors: They don't have to wait for a, page reload to see if they have forgotten to enter something., , , , Increased interactivity: You can create interfaces that react when the, user hovers over them with a mouse or activates them via the keyboard., , , , Richer interfaces: You can use JavaScript to include such items as dragand-drop components and sliders to give a Rich Interface to your site, visitors., , Limitations of JavaScript, We cannot treat JavaScript as a full-fledged programming language. It lacks the, following important features:, , , Client-side JavaScript does not allow the reading or writing of files. This, has been kept for security reason., , , , JavaScript cannot be used for networking applications because there is no, such support available., , , , JavaScript doesn't have any multithreading or multiprocessor capabilities., , Once again, JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language that, allows you to build interactivity into otherwise static HTML pages., , JavaScript Development Tools, One of major strengths of JavaScript is that it does not require expensive, development tools. You can start with a simple text editor such as Notepad., Since it is an interpreted language inside the context of a web browser, you, don't even need to buy a compiler., To make our life simpler, various vendors have come up with very nice, JavaScript editing tools. Some of them are listed here:, , , Microsoft FrontPage: Microsoft has developed a popular HTML editor, called FrontPage. FrontPage also provides web developers with a number, of JavaScript tools to assist in the creation of interactive websites., , , , Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is a, very popular HTML and JavaScript editor in the professional web, development crowd. It provides several handy prebuilt JavaScript, 3

Page 14 :
Javascript, , components, integrates well with databases, and conforms to new, standards such as XHTML and XML., , , Macromedia HomeSite 5: HomeSite 5 is a well-liked HTML and, JavaScript editor from Macromedia that can be used to manage personal, websites effectively., , Where is JavaScript Today?, The ECMAScript Edition 5 standard will be the first update to be released in over, four years. JavaScript 2.0 conforms to Edition 5 of the ECMAScript standard, and, the difference between the two is extremely minor., The specification for JavaScript 2.0 can be found on the following site:, http://www.ecmascript.org/, Today, Netscape's JavaScript and Microsoft's JScript conform to the ECMAScript, standard, although both the languages still support the features that are not a, part of the standard., , 4

Page 15 :
2. SYNTAX, , Javascript, , JavaScript can be implemented using JavaScript statements that are placed, within the <script>... </script> HTML tags in a web page., You can place the <script> tags, containing your JavaScript, anywhere within, you web page, but it is normally recommended that you should keep it within, the <head> tags., The <script> tag alerts the browser program to start interpreting all the text, between these tags as a script. A simple syntax of your JavaScript will appear as, follows., <script ...>, JavaScript code, </script>, The script tag takes two important attributes:, , , Language: This attribute specifies what scripting language you are using., Typically, its value will be javascript. Although recent versions of HTML, (and XHTML, its successor) have phased out the use of this attribute., , , , Type: This attribute is what is now recommended to indicate the scripting, language in use and its value should be set to "text/javascript"., , So your JavaScript syntax will look as follows., <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">, JavaScript code, </script>, , Your First JavaScript Code, Let us take a sample example to print out "Hello World". We added an optional, HTML comment that surrounds our JavaScript code. This is to save our code, from a browser that does not support JavaScript. The comment ends with a "//->". Here "//" signifies a comment in JavaScript, so we add that to prevent a, browser from reading the end of the HTML comment as a piece of JavaScript, code. Next, we call a function document.write which writes a string into our, HTML document., , 5

Page 16 :
Javascript, , This function can be used to write text, HTML, or both. Take a look at the, following code., <html>, <body>, <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">, <!-document.write ("Hello World!"), //-->, </script>, </body>, </html>, This code will produce the following result:, Hello World!, , Whitespace and Line Breaks, JavaScript ignores spaces, tabs, and newlines that appear in JavaScript, programs. You can use spaces, tabs, and newlines freely in your program and, you are free to format and indent your programs in a neat and consistent way, that makes the code easy to read and understand., , Semicolons are Optional, Simple statements in JavaScript are generally followed by a semicolon character,, just as they are in C, C++, and Java. JavaScript, however, allows you to omit, this semicolon if each of your statements are placed on a separate line. For, example, the following code could be written without semicolons., <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">, <!-var1 = 10, var2 = 20, //-->, </script>, , 6

Page 17 :
Javascript, , But when formatted in a single line as follows, you must use semicolons:, <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">, <!-var1 = 10; var2 = 20;, //-->, </script>, Note: It is a good programming practice to use semicolons., , Case Sensitivity, JavaScript is a case-sensitive language. This means that the language keywords,, variables, function names, and any other identifiers must always be typed with a, consistent capitalization of letters., So the identifiers Time and TIME will convey different meanings in JavaScript., NOTE: Care should be taken while writing variable and function names in, JavaScript., , Comments in JavaScript, JavaScript supports both C-style and C++-style comments. Thus:, , , Any text between a // and the end of a line is treated as a comment and, is ignored by JavaScript., , , , Any text between the characters /* and */ is treated as a comment. This, may span multiple lines., , , , JavaScript also recognizes the HTML comment opening sequence <!--., JavaScript treats this as a single-line comment, just as it does the //, comment., , , , The HTML comment closing sequence --> is not recognized by JavaScript, so it should be written as //-->., , Example, 7

Page 18 :
Javascript, , The following example shows how to use comments in JavaScript., <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">, <!--, , // This is a comment. It is similar to comments in C++, , /*, * This is a multiline comment in JavaScript, * It is very similar to comments in C Programming, */, //-->, </script>, , 8

3. ENABLING, , Javascript, , All the modern browsers come with built-in support for JavaScript. Frequently,, you may need to enable or disable this support manually. This chapter explains, the procedure of enabling and disabling JavaScript support in your browsers:, Internet Explorer, Firefox, chrome, and Opera., , JavaScript in Internet Explorer, Here are the steps to turn on or turn off JavaScript in Internet Explorer:, , , Follow Tools -> Internet Options from the menu., , , , Select Security tab from the dialog box., , , , Click the Custom Level button., , , , Scroll down till you find the Scripting option., , , , Select Enable radio button under Active scripting., , , , Finally click OK and come out., , To disable JavaScript support in your Internet Explorer, you need to select, Disable radio button under Active scripting., , JavaScript in Firefox, Here are the steps to turn on or turn off JavaScript in Firefox:, , , Open a new tab -> type about: config in the address bar., , , , Then you will find the warning dialog. Select I’ll be careful, I promise!, , , , Then you will find the list of configure options in the browser., , , , In the search bar, type javascript.enabled., , , , There you will find the option to enable or disable javascript by rightclicking on the value of that option -> select toggle., , If javascript.enabled is true; it converts to false upon clicking toogle. If, javascript is disabled; it gets enabled upon clicking toggle., , 9

Page 20 :
Javascript, , JavaScript in Chrome, Here are the steps to turn on or turn off JavaScript in Chrome:, , , Click the Chrome menu at the top right hand corner of your browser., , , , Select Settings., , , , Click Show advanced settings at the end of the page., , , , Under the Privacy section, click the Content settings button., , , , In the "Javascript" section, select "Do not allow any site to run JavaScript", or "Allow all sites to run JavaScript (recommended)"., , JavaScript in Opera, Here are the steps to turn on or turn off JavaScript in Opera:, , , Follow Tools-> Preferences from the menu., , , , Select Advanced option from the dialog box., , , , Select Content from the listed items., , , , Select Enable JavaScript checkbox., , , , Finally click OK and come out., , To disable JavaScript support in Opera, you should not select the Enable, JavaScript checkbox., , Warning for Non-JavaScript Browsers, If you have to do something important using JavaScript, then you can display a, warning message to the user using <noscript> tags., You can add a noscript block immediately after the script block as follows:, <html>, <body>, , <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">, <!-document.write ("Hello World!"), //-->, </script>, 10

Page 21 :
Javascript, , <noscript>, Sorry...JavaScript is needed to go ahead., </noscript>, </body>, </html>, Now, if the user's browser does not support JavaScript or JavaScript is not, enabled, then the message from </noscript> will be displayed on the screen., , 11

4. PLACEMENT, , Javascript, , There is a flexibility given to include JavaScript code anywhere in an HTML, document. However the most preferred ways to include JavaScript in an HTML, file are as follows:, , , Script in <head>...</head> section., , , , Script in <body>...</body> section., , , , Script in <body>...</body> and <head>...</head> sections., , , , Script in an external file and then include in <head>...</head> section., , In the following section, we will see how we can place JavaScript in an HTML file, in different ways., , JavaScript in <head>...</head> Section, If you want to have a script run on some event, such as when a user clicks, somewhere, then you will place that script in the head as follows., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function sayHello() {, alert("Hello World"), }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, Click here for the result, <input type="button" onclick="sayHello()" value="Say Hello" />, </body>, </html>, , 12

Page 23 :
Javascript, , This code will produce the following results:, Click here for the result, Say Hello, , JavaScript in <body>...</body> Section, If you need a script to run as the page loads so that the script generates content, in the page, then the script goes in the <body> portion of the document. In this, case, you would not have any function defined using JavaScript. Take a look at, the following code., <html>, <head>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-document.write("Hello World"), //-->, </script>, <p>This is web page body </p>, </body>, </html>, This code will produce the following results:, Hello World, This is web page body, , JavaScript in <body> and <head> Sections, You can put your JavaScript code in <head> and <body> section altogether as, follows., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, 13

Javascript, , <!-function sayHello() {, alert("Hello World"), }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-document.write("Hello World"), //-->, </script>, <input type="button" onclick="sayHello()" value="Say Hello" />, </body>, </html>, This code will produce the following result., HelloWorld, Say Hello, , JavaScript in External File, As you begin to work more extensively with JavaScript, you will be likely to find, that there are cases where you are reusing identical JavaScript code on multiple, pages of a site., You are not restricted to be maintaining identical code in multiple HTML files., The script tag provides a mechanism to allow you to store JavaScript in an, external file and then include it into your HTML files., , Here is an example to show how you can include an external JavaScript file in, your HTML code using script tag and its src attribute., 14

Page 25 :
Javascript, , <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript" src="filename.js" ></script>, </head>, <body>, ......., </body>, </html>, To use JavaScript from an external file source, you need to write all your, JavaScript source code in a simple text file with the extension ".js" and then, include that file as shown above., For example, you can keep the following content in filename.js file and then, you can use sayHello function in your HTML file after including the filename.js, file., function sayHello() {, alert("Hello World"), }, , 15

5. VARIABLES, , Javascript, , JavaScript Datatypes, One of the most fundamental characteristics of a programming language is the, set of data types it supports. These are the type of values that can be, represented and manipulated in a programming language., JavaScript allows you to work with three primitive data types:, , , Numbers, e.g., 123, 120.50 etc., , , , Strings of text, e.g. "This text string" etc., , , , Boolean, e.g. true or false., , JavaScript also defines two trivial data types, null and undefined, each of, which defines only a single value. In addition to these primitive data types,, JavaScript supports a composite data type known as object. We will cover, objects in detail in a separate chapter., Note: Java does not make a distinction between integer values and floatingpoint values. All numbers in JavaScript are represented as floating-point values., JavaScript represents numbers using the 64-bit floating-point format defined by, the IEEE 754 standard., , JavaScript Variables, Like many other programming languages, JavaScript has variables. Variables, can be thought of as named containers. You can place data into these containers, and then refer to the data simply by naming the container., Before you use a variable in a JavaScript program, you must declare it. Variables, are declared with the var keyword as follows., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var money;, var name;, //-->, </script>, , 16

Page 27 :
Javascript, , You can also declare multiple variables with the same var keyword as follows:, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var money, name;, //-->, </script>, Storing a value in a variable is called variable initialization. You can do, variable initialization at the time of variable creation or at a later point in time, when you need that variable., For instance, you might create a variable named money and assign the value, 2000.50 to it later. For another variable, you can assign a value at the time of, initialization as follows., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var name = "Ali";, var money;, money = 2000.50;, //-->, </script>, Note: Use the var keyword only for declaration or initialization, once for the life, of any variable name in a document. You should not re-declare same variable, twice., JavaScript is untyped language. This means that a JavaScript variable can hold, a value of any data type. Unlike many other languages, you don't have to tell, JavaScript during variable declaration what type of value the variable will hold., The value type of a variable can change during the execution of a program and, JavaScript takes care of it automatically., , JavaScript Variable Scope, The scope of a variable is the region of your program in which it is defined., JavaScript variables have only two scopes., , , Global Variables: A global variable has global scope which means it can, be defined anywhere in your JavaScript code., , , , Local Variables: A local variable will be visible only within a function, where it is defined. Function parameters are always local to that function., 17

Page 28 :
Javascript, , Within the body of a function, a local variable takes precedence over a global, variable with the same name. If you declare a local variable or function, parameter with the same name as a global variable, you effectively hide the, global variable. Take a look into the following example., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var myVar = "global"; // Declare a global variable, function checkscope( ) {, var myVar = "local";, , // Declare a local variable, , document.write(myVar);, }, //-->, </script>, It will produce the following result:, Local, , JavaScript Variable Names, While naming your variables in JavaScript, keep the following rules in mind., , , You should not use any of the JavaScript reserved keywords as a variable, name. These keywords are mentioned in the next section. For example,, break or boolean variable names are not valid., , , , JavaScript variable names should not start with a numeral (0-9). They, must begin with a letter or an underscore character. For, example, 123test is an invalid variable name but _123test is a valid, one., , , , JavaScript variable names are case-sensitive. For example, Name and, name are two different variables., , 18

Page 29 :
Javascript, , JavaScript Reserved Words, A list of all the reserved words in JavaScript are given in the following table., They cannot be used as JavaScript variables, functions, methods, loop labels, or, any object names., , abstract, , else, , Instanceof, , switch, , boolean, , enum, , int, , synchronized, , break, , export, , interface, , this, , byte, , extends, , long, , throw, , case, , false, , native, , throws, , catch, , final, , new, , transient, , char, , finally, , null, , true, , class, , float, , package, , try, , const, , for, , private, , typeof, , continue, , function, , protected, , var, , debugger, , goto, , public, , void, , default, , if, , return, , volatile, , delete, , implements, , short, , while, , do, , import, , static, , with, , double, , in, , super, , 19

6. OPERATORS, , Javascript, , What is an Operator?, Let us take a simple expression 4 + 5 is equal to 9. Here 4 and 5 are called, operands and ‘+’ is called the operator. JavaScript supports the following, types of operators., , , Arithmetic Operators, , , , Comparison Operators, , , , Logical (or Relational) Operators, , , , Assignment Operators, , , , Conditional (or ternary) Operators, , Let’s have a look at all the operators one by one., , Arithmetic Operators, JavaScript supports the following arithmetic operators:, Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then:, S. No., , Operator and Description, + (Addition), , 1, , Adds two operands, Ex: A + B will give 30, - (Subtraction), , 2, , Subtracts the second operand from the first, Ex: A - B will give -10, * (Multiplication), , 3, , Multiply both operands, Ex: A * B will give 200, , 4, , / (Division), 20

Page 31 :
Javascript, , Divide the numerator by the denominator, Ex: B / A will give 2, % (Modulus), 5, , Outputs the remainder of an integer division, Ex: B % A will give 0, ++ (Increment), , 6, , Increases an integer value by one, Ex: A++ will give 11, -- (Decrement), , 7, , Decreases an integer value by one, Ex: A-- will give 9, , Note: Addition operator (+) works for Numeric as well as Strings. e.g. "a" + 10, will give "a10"., , Example, The following code shows how to use arithmetic operators in JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var a = 33;, var b = 10;, var c = "Test";, var linebreak = "<br />";, , document.write("a + b = ");, result = a + b;, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , 21

Page 34 :
Javascript, , the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true., Ex: (A > B) is not true., < (Less than), 4, , Checks if the value of the left operand is less than the value of, the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true., Ex: (A < B) is true., >= (Greater than or Equal to), , 5, , Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than or equal to, the value of the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes, true., Ex: (A >= B) is not true., <= (Less than or Equal to), , 6, , Checks if the value of the left operand is less than or equal to the, value of the right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes, true., Ex: (A <= B) is true., , Example, The following code shows how to use comparison operators in JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var a = 10;, var b = 20;, var linebreak = "<br />";, , document.write("(a == b) => ");, result = (a == b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, 24

Page 35 :
Javascript, , document.write("(a < b) => ");, result = (a < b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write("(a > b) => ");, result = (a > b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write("(a != b) => ");, result = (a != b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write("(a >= b) => ");, result = (a >= b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write("(a <= b) => ");, result = (a <= b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variables to different values and different operators and, then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, 25

Page 36 :

Exclusive OR means that either operand one is true or, operand two is true, but not both., Ex: (A ^ B) is 1., ~ (Bitwise Not), , 4, , It is a unary operator and operates by reversing all the bits in the, operand., , 28

Page 39 :
Javascript, , Ex: (~B) is -4., << (Left Shift), , 5, , It moves all the bits in its first operand to the left by the number of, places specified in the second operand. New bits are filled with zeros., Shifting a value left by one position is equivalent to multiplying it by 2,, shifting two positions is equivalent to multiplying by 4, and so on., Ex: (A << 1) is 4., >> (Right Shift), , 6, , Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operand’s value is moved right by, the number of bits specified by the right operand., Ex: (A >> 1) is 1., >>> (Right shift with Zero), , 7, , This operator is just like the >> operator, except that the bits shifted, in on the left are always zero., Ex: (A >>> 1) is 1., , Example, Try the following code to implement Bitwise operator in JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var a = 2;, , // Bit presentation 10, , var b = 3;, , // Bit presentation 11, , var linebreak = "<br />";, , document.write("(a &, , b) => ");, , result = (a & b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, 29

Page 42 :
Javascript, , Ex: C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A, %= (Modules and Assignment), 6, , It takes modulus using two operands and assigns the result to the left, operand., Ex: C %= A is equivalent to C = C % A, , Note: Same logic applies to Bitwise operators, so they will become <<=, >>=,, >>=, &=, |= and ^=., , Example, Try the following code to implement assignment operator in JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var a = 33;, var b = 10;, var linebreak = "<br />";, , document.write("Value of a => (a = b) => ");, result = (a = b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write("Value of a => (a += b) => ");, result = (a += b);, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write("Value of a => (a -= b) => ");, result = (a -= b);, document.write(result);, 32

Page 44 :
Javascript, , Set the variables to different values and different operators and then, try..., , Miscellaneous Operators, We will discuss two operators here that are quite useful in JavaScript: the, conditional operator (? :) and the typeof operator., , Conditional Operator (? :), The conditional operator first evaluates an expression for a true or false value, and then executes one of the two given statements depending upon the result of, the evaluation., S.No, , 1, , Operator and Description, ? : (Conditional ), If Condition is true? Then value X : Otherwise value Y, , Example, Try the following code to understand how the Conditional Operator works in, JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var a = 10;, var b = 20;, var linebreak = "<br />";, , document.write ("((a > b) ? 100 : 200) => ");, result = (a > b) ? 100 : 200;, document.write(result);, document.write(linebreak);, , document.write ("((a < b) ? 100 : 200) => ");, 34

Its value is a string indicating the data type of the, operand., The typeof operator evaluates to "number", "string", or "boolean" if its operand, is a number, string, or boolean value and returns true or false based on the, evaluation., Here is a list of the return values for the typeof Operator., Type, , String Returned by typeof, , Number, , "number", , String, , "string", , Boolean, , "boolean", , Object, , "object", 35

7. IF-ELSE, , Javascript, , While writing a program, there may be a situation when you need to adopt one, out of a given set of paths. In such cases, you need to use conditional, statements that allow your program to make correct decisions and perform right, actions., JavaScript supports conditional statements which are used to perform different, actions, based, on, different, conditions., Here, we, will, explain the, if..else statement., , Flow Chart of if-else, The following flow chart shows how the if-else statement works., , JavaScript supports the following forms of if..else statement:, , , if statement, , , , if...else statement, , , , if...else if... statement, , 38

Page 49 :
Javascript, , if Statement, The ‘if’ statement is the fundamental control statement that allows JavaScript to, make decisions and execute statements conditionally., , Syntax, The syntax for a basic if statement is as follows:, if (expression){, Statement(s) to be executed if expression is true, }, Here a JavaScript expression is evaluated. If the resulting value is true, the, given statement(s) are executed. If the expression is false, then no statement, would be not executed. Most of the times, you will use comparison operators, while making decisions., , Example, Try the following example to understand how the if statement works., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var age = 20;, if( age > 18 ){, document.write("<b>Qualifies for driving</b>");, }, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , 39

Page 50 :
Javascript, , Output, Qualifies for driving, Set the variable to different value and then try..., , if...else Statement, The ‘if...else’ statement is the next form of control statement that allows, JavaScript to execute statements in a more controlled way., , Syntax, The syntax of an if-else statement is as follows:, if (expression){, Statement(s) to be executed if expression is true, }else{, Statement(s) to be executed if expression is false, }, Here JavaScript expression is evaluated. If the resulting value is true, the given, statement(s) in the ‘if’ block, are executed. If the expression is false, then the, given statement(s) in the else block are executed., , Example, Try the following code to learn how to implement an if-else statement in, JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var age = 15;, , if( age > 18 ){, document.write("<b>Qualifies for driving</b>");, }else{, document.write("<b>Does not qualify for driving</b>");, }, 40

Page 51 :
Javascript, , //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Does not qualify for driving, Set the variable to different value and then try..., , if...else if... Statement, The ‘if...else if...’ statement is an advanced form of if…else that allows, JavaScript to make a correct decision out of several conditions., , Syntax, The syntax of an if-else-if statement is as follows:, if (expression 1){, Statement(s) to be executed if expression 1 is true, }else if (expression 2){, Statement(s) to be executed if expression 2 is true, }else if (expression 3){, Statement(s) to be executed if expression 3 is true, }else{, Statement(s) to be executed if no expression is true, }, There is nothing special about this code. It is just a series of if statements,, where each if is a part of the else clause of the previous statement., Statement(s) are executed based on the true condition, if none of the conditions, is true, then the else block is executed., , Example, 41

Page 52 :
Javascript, , Try the following code to learn how to implement an if-else-if statement in, JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var book = "maths";, if( book == "history" ){, document.write("<b>History Book</b>");, }else if( book == "maths" ){, document.write("<b>Maths Book</b>");, }else if( book == "economics" ){, document.write("<b>Economics Book</b>");, }else{, document.write("<b>Unknown Book</b>");, }, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Maths Book, Set the variable to different value and then try..., , 42

Page 53 :
8. SWITCH-CASE, , Javascript, , You can use multiple if...else…if statements, as in the previous chapter, to, perform a multiway branch. However, this is not always the best solution,, especially when all of the branches depend on the value of a single variable., Starting with JavaScript 1.2, you can use a switch statement which handles, exactly this situation, and it does so more efficiently than repeated if...else, if statements., , Flow Chart, The following flow chart explains a switch-case statement works., , 43

Page 54 :
Javascript, , Syntax, The objective of a switch statement is to give an expression to evaluate and, several different statements to execute based on the value of the expression., The interpreter checks each case against the value of the expression until a, match is found. If nothing matches, a default condition will be used., switch (expression), {, case condition 1: statement(s), break;, case condition 2: statement(s), break;, ..., case condition n: statement(s), break;, default: statement(s), }, The break statements indicate the end of a particular case. If they were, omitted, the interpreter would continue executing each statement in each of the, following cases., We will explain break statement in Loop Control chapter., , Example, Try the following example to implement switch-case statement., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var grade='A';, document.write("Entering switch block<br />");, switch (grade), {, case 'A': document.write("Good job<br />");, 44

Page 55 :
Javascript, , break;, case 'B': document.write("Pretty good<br />");, break;, case 'C': document.write("Passed<br />");, break;, case 'D': document.write("Not so good<br />");, break;, case 'F': document.write("Failed<br />");, break;, default:, , document.write("Unknown grade<br />"), , }, document.write("Exiting switch block");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Entering switch block, Good job, Exiting switch block, Set the variable to different value and then try..., Break statements play a major role in switch-case statements. Try the following, code that uses switch-case statement without any break statement., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var grade='A';, document.write("Entering switch block<br />");, 45

Page 56 :
Javascript, , switch (grade), {, case 'A': document.write("Good job<br />");, case 'B': document.write("Pretty good<br />");, case 'C': document.write("Passed<br />");, case 'D': document.write("Not so good<br />");, case 'F': document.write("Failed<br />");, default:, , document.write("Unknown grade<br />"), , }, document.write("Exiting switch block");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Entering switch block, Good job, Pretty good, Passed, Not so good, Failed, Unknown grade, Exiting switch block, Set the variable to different value and then try..., , 46

9. WHILE LOOP, , Javascript, , While writing a program, you may encounter a situation where you need to, perform an action over and over again. In such situations, you would need to, write loop statements to reduce the number of lines., JavaScript supports all the necessary loops to ease down the pressure of, programming., , The while Loop, The most basic loop in JavaScript is the while loop which would be discussed in, this chapter. The purpose of a while loop is to execute a statement or code, block repeatedly as long as an expression is true. Once the expression, becomes false, the loop terminates., , Flow Chart, The flow chart of while loop looks as follows:, , 47

Javascript, , Syntax, The syntax of while loop in JavaScript is as follows:, while (expression){, Statement(s) to be executed if expression is true, }, , Example, Try the following example to implement while loop., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var count = 0;, document.write("Starting Loop ");, while (count < 10){, document.write("Current Count : " + count + "<br />");, count++;, }, document.write("Loop stopped!");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Starting Loop, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, , Current Count : 0, : 1, : 2, : 3, : 4, 48

Javascript, , Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Loop stopped!, , :, :, :, :, :, , 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, , Set the variable to different value and then try..., , The do...while Loop, The do...while loop is similar to the while loop except that the condition check, happens at the end of the loop. This means that the loop will always be executed, at least once, even if the condition is false., , Flow Chart, The flow chart of a do-while loop would be as follows:, , do{, conditional code;, }while(condition);, Conditional, Code, , Condition, If condition is, true, , If Condition, is false, , Syntax, The syntax for do-while loop in JavaScript is as follows:, 49

Page 60 :
Javascript, , do{, Statement(s) to be executed;, } while (expression);, Note: Don’t miss the semicolon used at the end of the do...while loop., , Example, Try the following example to learn how to implement a do-while loop in, JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var count = 0;, document.write("Starting Loop" + "<br />");, do{, document.write("Current Count : " + count + "<br />");, count++;, }while (count < 5);, document.write ("Loop stopped!");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Starting Loop, Current, Current, Current, Current, Current, , Count, Count, Count, Count, Count, , :, :, :, :, :, , 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, , Loop Stopped!, 50

10., , FOR LOOP, , Javascript, , The for Loop, The ‘for’ loop is the most compact form of looping. It includes the following, three important parts:, , , The loop initialization where we initialize our counter to a starting, value. The initialization statement is executed before the loop begins., , , , The test statement which will test if a given condition is true or not. If, the condition is true, then the code given inside the loop will be executed,, otherwise the control will come out of the loop., , , , The iteration statement where you can increase or decrease your, counter., , You can put all the three parts in a single line separated by semicolons., , Flow Chart, The flow chart of a for loop in JavaScript would be as follows:, , Conditional, Code, Condition, , for condition, is true, , for Condition, is false, , 52

Page 63 :
Javascript, , Syntax, The syntax of for loop is JavaScript is as follows:, for (initialization; test condition; iteration statement){, Statement(s) to be executed if test condition is true, }, , Example, Try the following example to learn how a for loop works in JavaScript., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var count;, document.write("Starting Loop" + "<br />");, for(count = 0; count < 10; count++){, document.write("Current Count : " + count );, document.write("<br />");, }, document.write("Loop stopped!");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Starting Loop, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, , :, :, :, :, :, :, , 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 53

Javascript, , Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Current Count, Loop stopped!, , :, :, :, :, , 6, 7, 8, 9, , Set the variable to different value and then try..., , 54

Page 65 :
11., , FOR-IN LOOP, , Javascript, , The for...in loop is used to loop through an object's properties. As we have not, discussed Objects yet, you may not feel comfortable with this loop. But once you, understand how objects behave in JavaScript, you will find this loop very useful., , Syntax, The syntax of ‘for..in’ loop is:, for (variablename in object){, statement or block to execute, }, In each iteration, one property from object is assigned to variablename and, this loop continues till all the properties of the object are exhausted., , Example, Try the following example to implement ‘for-in’ loop. It prints the web browser’s, Navigator object., <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var aProperty;, document.write("Navigator Object Properties<br /> ");, for (aProperty in navigator), {, document.write(aProperty);, document.write("<br />");, }, document.write ("Exiting from the loop!");, //-->, </script>, , 55

Page 67 :
12., , LOOP CONTROL, , Javascript, , JavaScript provides full control to handle loops and switch statements. There, may be a situation when you need to come out of a loop without reaching at its, bottom. There may also be a situation when you want to skip a part of your code, block and start the next iteration of the look., To handle all such situations, JavaScript provides break and continue, statements. These statements are used to immediately come out of any loop or, to start the next iteration of any loop respectively., , The break Statement, The break statement, which was briefly introduced with the switch statement, is, used to exit a loop early, breaking out of the enclosing curly braces., , Flow Chart, The flow chart of a break statement would look as follows:, , Condition, , true, , Conditional Code, Break, statement, , false, , Example, The following example illustrates the use of a break statement with a while, loop. Notice how the loop breaks out early once x reaches 5 and reaches to, document.write (..) statement just below to the closing curly brace:, , 57

Page 68 :
Javascript, , <html>, <body>, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var x = 1;, document.write("Entering the loop<br /> ");, while (x < 20), {, if (x == 5){, break;, , // breaks out of loop completely, , }, x = x + 1;, document.write( x + "<br />");, }, document.write("Exiting the loop!<br /> ");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Entering the loop, 2, 3, 4, 5, Exiting the loop!, Set the variable to different value and then try..., We have already seen the usage of break statement inside a switch statement., , 58

Page 69 :
Javascript, , The continue Statement, The continue statement tells the interpreter to immediately start the next, iteration of the loop and skip the remaining code block. When, a continue statement is encountered, the program flow moves to the loop, check expression immediately and if the condition remains true, then it starts, the next iteration, otherwise the control comes out of the loop., , Example, This example illustrates the use of a continue statement with a while loop., Notice how the continue statement is used to skip printing when the index held, in variable x reaches 5., <html>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var x = 1;, document.write("Entering the loop<br /> ");, while (x < 10), {, x = x + 1;, if (x == 5){, continue;, , // skill rest of the loop body, , }, document.write( x + "<br />");, }, document.write("Exiting the loop!<br /> ");, //-->, </script>, , <p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, 59

Page 70 :
Javascript, , Entering the loop, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Exiting the loop!, , Using Labels to Control the Flow, Starting from JavaScript 1.2, a label can be used with break and continue to, control the flow more precisely. A label is simply an identifier followed by a, colon (:) that is applied to a statement or a block of code. We will see two, different examples to understand how to use labels with break and continue., Note: Line breaks are not allowed between the ‘continue’ or ‘break’ statement, and its label name. Also, there should not be any other statement in between a, label name and associated loop., Try the following two examples for a better understanding of Labels., , Example 1, The following example shows how to implement Label with a break statement., <html>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-document.write("Entering the loop!<br /> ");, outerloop:, , // This is the label name, , for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++), {, document.write("Outerloop: " + i + "<br />");, innerloop:, for (var j = 0; j < 5; j++), 60

13., , FUNCTIONS, , Javascript, , A function is a group of reusable code which can be called anywhere in your, program. This eliminates the need of writing the same code again and again. It, helps programmers in writing modular codes. Functions allow a programmer to, divide a big program into a number of small and manageable functions., Like any other advanced programming language, JavaScript also supports all the, features necessary to write modular code using functions. You must have seen, functions like alert() and write() in the earlier chapters. We were using these, functions again and again, but they had been written in core JavaScript only, once., JavaScript allows us to write our own functions as well. This section explains, how to write your own functions in JavaScript., , Function Definition, Before we use a function, we need to define it. The most common way to define, a function in JavaScript is by using the function keyword, followed by a unique, function name, a list of parameters (that might be empty), and a statement, block surrounded by curly braces., , Syntax, The basic syntax is shown here., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function functionname(parameter-list), {, statements, }, //-->, </script>, , Example, Try the following example. It defines a function called sayHello that takes no, parameters:, , 64

Page 75 :
Javascript, , <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function sayHello(), {, alert("Hello there");, }, //-->, </script>, , Calling a Function, To invoke a function somewhere later in the script, you would simply need to, write the name of that function as shown in the following code., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, function sayHello(), {, document.write ("Hello there!");, }, </script>, </head>, , <body>, <p>Click the following button to call the function</p>, <form>, <input type="button" onclick="sayHello()" value="Say Hello">, </form>, , <p>Use different text in write method and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, 65

Page 76 :
Javascript, , Click the following button to call the function, Say Hello, , Function Parameters, Till now, we have seen functions without parameters. But there is a facility to, pass different parameters while calling a function. These passed parameters can, be captured inside the function and any manipulation can be done over those, parameters. A function can take multiple parameters separated by comma., , Example, Try the following example. We have modified our sayHello function here. Now it, takes two parameters., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, function sayHello(name, age), {, document.write (name + " is " + age + " years old.");, }, </script>, </head>, , <body>, <p>Click the following button to call the function</p>, <form>, <input type="button" onclick="sayHello('Zara', 7)" value="Say Hello">, </form>, , <p>Use different parameters inside the function and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , 66

Page 77 :
Javascript, , Output, Click the following button to call the function, Say Hello, Use different parameters inside the function and then try..., , The return Statement, A JavaScript function can have an optional return statement. This is required if, you want to return a value from a function. This statement should be the last, statement in a function., For example, you can pass two numbers in a function and then you can expect, the function to return their multiplication in your calling program., , Example, Try the following example. It defines a function that takes two parameters and, concatenates them before returning the resultant in the calling program., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, function concatenate(first, last), {, var full;, , full = first + last;, return, , full;, , }, function secondFunction(), {, var result;, result = concatenate('Zara', 'Ali');, document.write (result );, }, </script>, </head>, 67

Page 78 :
Javascript, , <body>, <p>Click the following button to call the function</p>, <form>, <input type="button" onclick="secondFunction()" value="Call Function">, </form>, , <p>Use different parameters inside the function and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following button to call the function, Call Function, , Use different parameters inside the function and then try..., There is a lot to learn about JavaScript functions, however we have covered the, most important concepts in this tutorial., , Nested Functions, Prior to JavaScript 1.2, function definition was allowed only in top level global, code, but JavaScript 1.2 allows function definitions to be nested within other, functions as well. Still there is a restriction that function definitions may not, appear within loops or conditionals. These restrictions on function definitions, apply only to function declarations with the function statement., As we'll discuss later in the next chapter, function literals (another feature, introduced in JavaScript 1.2) may appear within any JavaScript expression,, which means that they can appear within if and other statements., , Example, Try the following example to learn how to implement nested functions., <html>, , 68

Page 79 :
Javascript, , <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function hypotenuse(a, b) {, function square(x) { return x*x; }, , return Math.sqrt(square(a) + square(b));, }, function secondFunction(){, var result;, result = hypotenuse(1,2);, document.write ( result );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, , <body>, <p>Click the following button to call the function</p>, , <form>, <input type="button" onclick="secondFunction()" value="Call Function">, </form>, , <p>Use different parameters inside the function and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following button to call the function, Call Function, 69

Page 80 :
Javascript, , Use different parameters inside the function and then try..., , Function () Constructor, The function statement is not the only way to define a new function; you can, define your function dynamically using Function() constructor along with the, new operator., Note: Constructor is a terminology from Object Oriented Programming. You may, not feel comfortable for the first time, which is OK., , Syntax, Following is the syntax to create a function using Function() constructor along, with the new operator., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var variablename = new Function(Arg1, Arg2..., "Function Body");, //-->, </script>, The Function() constructor expects any number of string arguments. The last, argument is the body of the function – it can contain arbitrary JavaScript, statements, separated from each other by semicolons., Notice that the Function() constructor is not passed any argument that, specifies a name for the function it creates. The unnamed functions created, with the Function() constructor are called anonymous functions., , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var func = new Function("x", "y", "return x*y;");, , function secondFunction(){, var result;, result = func(10,20);, 70

Page 81 :
Javascript, , document.write ( result );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, , <body>, <p>Click the following button to call the function</p>, , <form>, <input type="button" onclick="secondFunction()" value="Call Function">, </form>, , <p>Use different parameters inside the function and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following button to call the function, Call Function, , Use different parameters inside the function and then try..., , Function Literals, JavaScript 1.2 introduces the concept of function literals which is another new, way of defining functions. A function literal is an expression that defines an, unnamed function., , Syntax, The syntax for a function literal is much like a function statement, except that, it is used as an expression rather than a statement and no function name is, required., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-71

Page 82 :
Javascript, , var variablename = function(Argument List){, Function Body, };, //-->, </script>, Syntactically, you can specify a function name while creating a literal function as, follows., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var variablename = function FunctionName(Argument List){, Function Body, };, //-->, </script>, But this name does not have any significance, so it is not worthwhile., , Example, Try the following example. It shows the usage of function literals., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var func = function(x,y){ return x*y };, , function secondFunction(){, var result;, result = func(10,20);, document.write ( result );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, 72

Page 83 :
Javascript, , <p>Click the following button to call the function</p>, <form>, <input type="button" onclick="secondFunction()" value="Call Function">, </form>, <p>Use different parameters inside the function and then try...</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following button to call the function, Call Function, Use different parameters inside the function and then try..., , 73

14., , EVENTS, , Javascript, , What is an Event?, JavaScript's interaction with HTML is handled through events that occur when, the user or the browser manipulates a page., When the page loads, it is called an event. When the user clicks a button, that, click too is an event. Other examples include events like pressing any key,, closing a window, resizing a window, etc., Developers can use these events to execute JavaScript coded responses, which, cause buttons to close windows, messages to be displayed to users, data to be, validated, and virtually any other type of response imaginable., Events are a part of the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 and every HTML, element contains a set of events which can trigger JavaScript Code., Please go through this small tutorial for a better understanding HTML Event, Reference. Here we will see a few examples to understand the relation between, Event and JavaScript., , onclick Event Type, This is the most frequently used event type which occurs when a user clicks the, left button of his mouse. You can put your validation, warning etc., against this, event type., , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function sayHello() {, document.write ("Hello World"), }, //-->, </script>, 74

Page 85 :
Javascript, , </head>, <body>, <p> Click the following button and see result</p>, <input type="button" onclick="sayHello()" value="Say Hello" />, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following button and see result, Say Hello, , onsubmit Event Type, onsubmit is an event that occurs when you try to submit a form. You can put, your form validation against this event type., , Example, The following example shows how to use onsubmit. Here we are calling, a validate() function before submitting a form data to the webserver., If validate() function returns true, the form will be submitted, otherwise it will, not submit the data., Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function validation() {, all validation goes here, ........., return either true or false, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, 75

Page 86 :
Javascript, , <body>, <form method="POST" action="t.cgi" onsubmit="return validate()">, ......., <input type="submit" value="Submit" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , onmouseover and onmouseout, These two event types will help you create nice effects with images or even with, text as well. The onmouseover event triggers when you bring your mouse over, any element and the onmouseout triggers when you move your mouse out, from that element. Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function over() {, document.write ("Mouse Over");, }, function out() {, document.write ("Mouse Out");, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Bring your mouse inside the division to see the result:</p>, <div onmouseover="over()" onmouseout="out()">, <h2> This is inside the division </h2>, </div>, </body>, </html>, 76

Page 87 :

15., , COOKIES, , Javascript, , What are Cookies?, Web Browsers and Servers use HTTP protocol to communicate and HTTP is a, stateless protocol. But for a commercial website, it is required to maintain, session information among different pages. For example, one user registration, ends after completing many pages. But how to maintain users' session, information across all the web pages., In many situations, using cookies is the most efficient method of remembering, and tracking preferences, purchases, commissions, and other information, required for better visitor experience or site statistics., , How It Works?, Your server sends some data to the visitor's browser in the form of a cookie. The, browser may accept the cookie. If it does, it is stored as a plain text record on, the visitor's hard drive. Now, when the visitor arrives at another page on your, site, the browser sends the same cookie to the server for retrieval. Once, retrieved, your server knows/remembers what was stored earlier., Cookies are a plain text data record of 5 variable-length fields:, , , Expires: The date the cookie will expire. If this is blank, the cookie will, expire when the visitor quits the browser., , , , Domain: The domain name of your site., , , , Path: The path to the directory or web page that set the cookie. This may, be blank if you want to retrieve the cookie from any directory or page., , , , Secure: If this field contains the word "secure", then the cookie may only, be retrieved with a secure server. If this field is blank, no such restriction, exists., , , , Name=Value: Cookies are set and retrieved in the form of key-value, pairs., , Cookies were originally designed for CGI programming. The data contained in a, cookie is automatically transmitted between the web browser and the web, server, so CGI scripts on the server can read and write cookie values that are, stored on the client., , 82

Page 93 :
Javascript, , JavaScript can also manipulate cookies using the cookie property of, the Document object. JavaScript can read, create, modify, and delete the, cookies that apply to the current web page., , Storing Cookies, The simplest way to create a cookie is to assign a string value to the, document.cookie object, which looks like this., document.cookie = "key1=value1;key2=value2;expires=date";, Here the expires attribute is optional. If you provide this attribute with a valid, date or time, then the cookie will expire on a given date or time and thereafter,, the cookies' value will not be accessible., Note: Cookie values may not include semicolons, commas, or whitespace. For, this reason, you may want to use the JavaScript escape() function to encode, the value before storing it in the cookie. If you do this, you will also have to use, the corresponding unescape() function when you read the cookie value., , Example, Try the following. It sets a customer name in an input cookie., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function WriteCookie(), {, if( document.myform.customer.value == "" ){, alert ("Enter some value!");, return;, }, , cookievalue= escape(document.myform.customer.value) + ";";, document.cookie="name=" + cookievalue;, document.write ("Setting Cookies : " + "name=" + cookievalue );, }, //-->, </script>, 83

Page 94 :
Javascript, , </head>, <body>, <form name="myform" action="">, Enter name: <input type="text" name="customer"/>, <input type="button" value="Set Cookie" onclick="WriteCookie();"/>, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, , Enter name:, , Set, Cookie, , Now your machine has a cookie called name. You can set multiple cookies using, multiple key=value pairs separated by comma., , Reading Cookies, Reading a cookie is just as simple as writing one, because the value of, the document.cookie object is the cookie. So you can use this string whenever, you want to access the cookie. The document.cookie string will keep a list, of name=value pairs separated by semicolons, where name is the name of a, cookie and value is its string value., You can use strings' split() function to break a string into key and values as, follows:, , Example, Try the following example to get all the cookies., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function ReadCookie(), {, var allcookies = document.cookie;, document.write ("All Cookies : " + allcookies );, 84

Page 95 :
Javascript, , // Get all the cookies pairs in an array, cookiearray, , = allcookies.split(';');, , // Now take key value pair out of this array, for(var i=0; i<cookiearray.length; i++){, name = cookiearray[i].split('=')[0];, value = cookiearray[i].split('=')[1];, document.write ("Key is : " + name + " and Value is : " + value);, }, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form name="myform" action="">, <p> click the following button and see the result:</p>, <input type="button" value="Get Cookie" onclick="ReadCookie()"/>, </form>, </body>, </html>, Note: Here length is a method of Array class which returns the length of an, array. We will discuss Arrays in a separate chapter. By that time, please try to, digest it., , Output, click the following button and see the result:, Get Cookie, , Note: There may be some other cookies already set on your machine. The, above code will display all the cookies set on your machine., , 85

Page 96 :
Javascript, , Setting Cookies Expiry Date, You can extend the life of a cookie beyond the current browser session by, setting an expiration date and saving the expiry date within the cookie. This can, be done by setting the ‘expires’ attribute to a date and time., , Example, Try the following example. It illustrates how to extend the expiry date of a, cookie by 1 Month., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function WriteCookie(), {, var now = new Date();, now.setMonth( now.getMonth() + 1 );, cookievalue = escape(document.myform.customer.value) + ";", document.cookie="name=" + cookievalue;, document.cookie = "expires=" + now.toUTCString() + ";", document.write ("Setting Cookies : " + "name=" + cookievalue );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form name="formname" action="">, Enter name: <input type="text" name="customer"/>, <input type="button" value="Set Cookie" onclick="WriteCookie()"/>, </form>, </body>, </html>, , 86

Page 97 :
Javascript, , Output, , Enter Cookie Name:, , Set Cookie, , Deleting a Cookie, Sometimes you will want to delete a cookie so that subsequent attempts to read, the cookie return nothing. To do this, you just need to set the expiry date to a, time in the past., , Example, Try the following example. It illustrates how to delete a cookie by setting its, expiry date to one month behind the current date., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function WriteCookie(), {, var now = new Date();, now.setMonth( now.getMonth() - 1 );, cookievalue = escape(document.myform.customer.value) + ";", document.cookie="name=" + cookievalue;, document.cookie = "expires=" + now.toUTCString() + ";", document.write("Setting Cookies : " + "name=" + cookievalue );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form name="formname" action="">, Enter name: <input type="text" name="customer"/>, <input type="button" value="Set Cookie" onclick="WriteCookie()"/>, </form>, 87

16., , PAGE REDIRECT, , Javascript, , What is Page Redirection?, You might have encountered a situation where you clicked a URL to reach a page, X but internally you were directed to another page Y. It happens due to page, redirection. This concept is different from JavaScript Page Refresh., There could be various reasons why you would like to redirect a user from the, original page. We are listing down a few of the reasons:, , , You did not like the name of your domain and you are moving to a new, one. In such a scenario, you may want to direct all your visitors to the, new site. Here you can maintain your old domain but put a single page, with a page redirection such that all your old domain visitors can come to, your new domain., , , , You have built-up various pages based on browser versions or their, names or may be based on different countries, then instead of using your, server-side page redirection, you can use client-side page redirection to, land your users on the appropriate page., , , , The Search Engines may have already indexed your pages. But while, moving to another domain, you would not like to lose your visitors coming, through search engines. So you can use client-side page redirection. But, keep in mind this should not be done to fool the search engine, it could, lead your site to get banned., , JavaScript Page Refresh, You can refresh a web page using JavaScript location.reload method. This code, can be called automatically upon an event or simply when the user clicks on a, link. If you want to refresh a web page using a mouse click, then you can use, the following code:, <a href="javascript:location.reload(true)">Refresh Page</a>, , Auto Refresh, You can also use JavaScript to refresh the page automatically after a given time, period. Here setTimeout() is a built-in JavaScript function which can be used to, execute another function after a given time interval., 89

Page 100 :
Javascript, , Example, Try the following example. It shows how to refresh a page after every 5, seconds. You can change this time as per your requirement., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/JavaScript">, <!-function AutoRefresh( t ) {, setTimeout("location.reload(true);", t);, }, //, , -->, , </script>, </head>, <body onload="JavaScript:AutoRefresh(5000);">, <p>This page will refresh every 5 seconds.</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, This page will refresh every 5 seconds., , How Page Re-direction Works?, The implementations of Page-Redirection are as follows., , Example 1, It is quite simple to do a page redirect using JavaScript at client side. To redirect, your site visitors to a new page, you just need to add a line in your head section, as follows., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function Redirect() {, 90

Page 101 :
Javascript, , window.location="http://www.tutorialspoint.com";, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following button, you will be redirected to home page.</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Redirect Me" onclick="Redirect();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, , Click the following button, you will be redirected to home page., Redirect Me, , Example 2, You can show an appropriate message to your site visitors before redirecting, them to a new page. This would need a bit time delay to load a new page. The, following example shows how to implement the same. Here setTimeout() is a, built-in JavaScript function which can be used to execute another function after, a given time interval., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function Redirect() {, window.location="http://www.tutorialspoint.com";, }, document.write ("You will be redirected to our main page in 10, seconds!");, 91

17., , DIALOG BOX, , Javascript, , JavaScript supports three important types of dialog boxes. These dialog boxes, can be used to raise and alert, or to get confirmation on any input or to have a, kind of input from the users. Here we will discuss each dialog box one by one., , Alert Dialog Box, An alert dialog box is mostly used to give a warning message to the users. For, example, if one input field requires to enter some text but the user does not, provide any input, then as a part of validation, you can use an alert box to give, a warning message., Nonetheless, an alert box can still be used for friendlier messages. Alert box, gives only one button "OK" to select and proceed., , Example, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function Warn() {, alert ("This is a warning message!");, document.write ("This is a warning message!");, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following button to see the result: </p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="Warn();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, 94

Page 105 :
Javascript, , Output, , Click the following button to see the result:, Click Me, , Confirmation Dialog Box, A confirmation dialog box is mostly used to take user's consent on any option. It, displays a dialog box with two buttons: OK and Cancel., If the user clicks on the OK button, the window method confirm() will return, true. If the user clicks on the Cancel button, then confirm() returns false. You, can use a confirmation dialog box as follows., , Example, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function getConfirmation(){, var retVal = confirm("Do you want to continue ?");, if( retVal == true ){, document.write ("User wants to continue!");, return true;, }else{, Document.write ("User does not want to continue!");, return false;, }, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following button to see the result: </p>, <form>, 95

Page 106 :
Javascript, , <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="getConfirmation();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, , Click the following button to see the result:, Click Me, , Prompt Dialog Box, The prompt dialog box is very useful when you want to pop-up a text box to get, user input. Thus, it enables you to interact with the user. The user needs to fill, in the field and then click OK., This dialog box is displayed using a method called prompt() which takes two, parameters: (i) a label which you want to display in the text box and (ii) a, default string to display in the text box., This dialog box has two buttons: OK and Cancel. If the user clicks the OK, button, the window method prompt() will return the entered value from the, text, box., If, the, user, clicks, the, Cancel, button,, the, window, method prompt() returns null., , Example, The following example shows how to use a prompt dialog box:, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function getValue(){, var retVal = prompt("Enter your name : ", "your name here");, , document.write("You have entered : " +, , retVal);, , }, //-->, 96

Page 107 :
Javascript, , </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following button to see the result: </p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="getValue();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, , Click the following button to see the result:, Click Me, , 97

Page 108 :
18., , VOID KEYWORD, , Javascript, , void is an important keyword in JavaScript which can be used as a unary, operator that appears before its single operand, which may be of any type. This, operator specifies an expression to be evaluated without returning a value., , Syntax, The syntax of void can be either of the following two:, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-void func(), javascript:void func(), OR, void(func()), javascript:void(func()), //-->, </script>, </head>, , Example 1, The most common use of this operator is in a client-side javascript: URL, where, it allows you to evaluate an expression for its side-effects without the browser, displaying the value of the evaluated expression., Here the expression alert ('Warning!!!') is evaluated but it is not loaded back, into the current document:, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-//-->, </script>, </head>, 98

Page 109 :
Javascript, , <body>, <p>Click the following, This won't react at all...</p>, <a href="javascript:void(document.write(“Hello : 0”))">Click me!</a>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following, This won't react at all..., Click me!, , Example 2, Take a look at the following example. The following link does nothing because, the expression "0" has no effect in JavaScript. Here the expression "0" is, evaluated, but it is not loaded back into the current document., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-//-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following, This won't react at all...</p>, <a href="javascript:void(0)">Click me!</a>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following, This won't react at all..., Click me!, , Example 3, Another use of void is to purposely generate the undefined value as follows., <html>, 99

Page 110 :
Javascript, , <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function getValue(){, var a,b,c;, , a = void ( b = 5, c = 7 );, document.write('a = ' + a + ' b = ' + b +' c = ' + c );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="getValue();" />, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following button to see the result:, Click Me, , 100

Page 111 :
19., , PAGE PRINTING, , Javascript, , Many times you would like to place a button on your webpage to print the, content of that web page via an actual printer. JavaScript helps you to, implement this functionality using the print function of window object., The JavaScript print function window.print() prints the current web page when, executed. You can call this function directly using the onclick event as shown in, the following example., , Example, Try the following example., <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-//-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Print" onclick="window.print()" />, </form>, </body>, , Output, Print, Although it serves the purpose of getting a printout, it is not a recommended, way. A printer friendly page is really just a page with text, no images, graphics,, or advertising., You can make a page printer friendly in the following ways:, 1. Make a copy of the page and leave out unwanted text and graphics, then, link to that printer friendly page from the original. Check Example., , 101

Page 112 :
Javascript, , 2. If you do not want to keep an extra copy of a page, then you can mark, your printable text using proper comments like <!-- PRINT STARTS HERE, -->..... <!-- PRINT ENDS HERE --> and then you can use PERL or any, other script in the background to purge printable text and display for final, printing. We at Tutorialspoint use this method to provide print facility to, our site visitors. Check Example., , How to Print a Page?, If you don’t find the above facilities on a web page, then you can use the, browser's standard toolbar to get print the web page. Follow the link as follows., File --> Print --> Click OK button., , 102

Javascript, , Part 2: JavaScript Objects, , 103

Page 115 :
20., , OBJECTS, , Javascript, , JavaScript is an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language. A programming, language can be called object-oriented if it provides four basic capabilities to, developers:, , , Encapsulation: the capability to store related information, whether data, or methods, together in an object., , , , Aggregation: the capability to store one object inside another object., , , , Inheritance: the capability of a class to rely upon another class (or, number of classes) for some of its properties and methods., , , , Polymorphism: the capability to write one function or method that works, in a variety of different ways., , Objects are composed of attributes. If an attribute contains a function, it is, considered to be a method of the object, otherwise the attribute is considered a, property., , Object Properties, Object properties can be any of the three primitive data types, or any of the, abstract data types, such as another object. Object properties are usually, variables that are used internally in the object's methods, but can also be, globally visible variables that are used throughout the page., The syntax for adding a property to an object is:, objectName.objectProperty = propertyValue;, For example: The following code gets the document title using the "title", property of the document object., var str = document.title;, , Object Methods, Methods are the functions that let the object do something or let something be, done to it. There is a small difference between a function and a method – at a, function is a standalone unit of statements and a method is attached to an, object and can be referenced by the this keyword., 105

Page 116 :
Javascript, , Methods are useful for everything from displaying the contents of the object to, the screen to performing complex mathematical operations on a group of local, properties and parameters., For example: Following is a simple example to show how to use the, write() method of document object to write any content on the document., document.write ("This is test");, , User-Defined Objects, All user-defined objects and built-in objects are descendants of an object called, Object., , The new Operator, The new operator is used to create an instance of an object. To create an, object, the new operator is followed by the constructor method., In the following example, the constructor methods are Object(), Array(), and, Date(). These constructors are built-in JavaScript functions., var employee = new Object();, var books = new Array("C++", "Perl", "Java");, var day = new Date("August 15, 1947");, , The Object ( ) Constructor, A constructor is a function that creates and initializes an object. JavaScript, provides a special constructor function called Object() to build the object. The, return value of the Object() constructor is assigned to a variable., The variable contains a reference to the new object. The properties assigned to, the object are not variables and are not defined with the var keyword., , Example 1, Try the following example; it demonstrates how to create an Object., <html>, <head>, <title>User-defined objects</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, var book = new Object();, , // Create the object, , book.subject = "Perl"; // Assign properties to the object, 106

Page 117 :
Javascript, , book.author, , = "Mohtashim";, , </script>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, document.write("Book name is : " + book.subject + "<br>");, document.write("Book author is : " + book.author + "<br>");, </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Book name is : Perl, Book author is : Mohtashim, , Example 2, This example demonstrates how to create an object with a User-Defined, Function. Here this keyword is used to refer to the object that has been passed, to a function., <html>, <head>, <title>User-defined objects</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, function book(title, author){, this.title = title;, this.author, , = author;, , }, </script>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, var myBook = new book("Perl", "Mohtashim");, document.write("Book title is : " + myBook.title + "<br>");, document.write("Book author is : " + myBook.author + "<br>");, 107

Page 118 :
Javascript, , </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Book title is : Perl, Book author is : Mohtashim, , Defining Methods for an Object, The previous examples demonstrate how the constructor creates the object and, assigns properties. But we need to complete the definition of an object by, assigning methods to it., , Example, Try the following example; it shows how to add a function along with an object., <html>, <head>, <title>User-defined objects</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, , // Define a function which will work as a method, function addPrice(amount){, this.price = amount;, }, , function book(title, author){, this.title = title;, this.author, , = author;, , this.addPrice = addPrice; // Assign that method as property., }, , </script>, </head>, <body>, 108

Page 119 :
Javascript, , <script type="text/javascript">, var myBook = new book("Perl", "Mohtashim");, myBook.addPrice(100);, document.write("Book title is : " + myBook.title + "<br>");, document.write("Book author is : " + myBook.author + "<br>");, document.write("Book price is : " + myBook.price + "<br>");, </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Book title is : Perl, Book author is : Mohtashim, Book price is : 100, , The ‘with’ Keyword, The ‘with’ keyword is used as a kind of shorthand for referencing an object's, properties or methods., The object specified as an argument to with becomes the default object for the, duration of the block that follows. The properties and methods for the object can, be used without naming the object., , Syntax, The syntax for with object is as follows:, with (object){, properties used without the object name and dot, }, , Example, Try the following example., <html>, 109

Page 120 :
Javascript, , <head>, <title>User-defined objects</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, , // Define a function which will work as a method, function addPrice(amount){, with(this){, price = amount;, }, }, , function book(title, author){, this.title = title;, this.author, , = author;, , this.price = 0;, this.addPrice = addPrice; // Assign that method as property., }, </script>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, var myBook = new book("Perl", "Mohtashim");, myBook.addPrice(100);, document.write("Book title is : " + myBook.title + "<br>");, document.write("Book author is : " + myBook.author + "<br>");, document.write("Book price is : " + myBook.price + "<br>");, </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Book title is : Perl, Book author is : Mohtashim, Book price is : 100, 110

Page 121 :
21., , NUMBER, , Javascript, , The Number object represents numerical date, either integers or floating-point, numbers. In general, you do not need to worry about Number objects because, the browser automatically converts number literals to instances of the number, class., , Syntax, The syntax for creating a number object is as follows:, var val = new Number(number);, In the place of number, if you provide any non-number argument, then the, argument cannot be converted into a number, it returns NaN (Not-a-Number)., , Number Properties, Here is a list of each property and their description., Property, , Description, , MAX_VALUE, , The largest possible value a number in JavaScript, can have 1.7976931348623157E+308, , MIN_VALUE, , The smallest possible value a number in JavaScript, can have 5E-324, , NaN, , Equal to a value that is not a number., , NEGATIVE_INFINITY, , A value that is less than MIN_VALUE., , POSITIVE_INFINITY, , A value that is greater than MAX_VALUE, , prototype, , A static property of the Number object. Use the, prototype property to assign new properties and, methods to the Number object in the current, document, , constructor, , Returns the function that created this object's, instance. By default this is the Number object., , 111

Page 122 :
Javascript, , In the following sections, we will take a few examples to demonstrate the, properties of Number., , MAX_VALUE, The Number.MAX_VALUE property belongs to the static Number object. It, represents constants for the largest possible positive numbers that JavaScript, can work with., The actual value of this constant is 1.7976931348623157 x 10308., , Syntax, The syntax to use MAX_VALUE is:, var val = Number.MAX_VALUE;, , Example, Try the following example to learn how to use MAX_VALUE., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function showValue(), {, var val = Number.MAX_VALUE;, , document.write ("Value of Number.MAX_VALUE : " + val );, , }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showValue();" />, 112

Page 123 :
Javascript, , </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , Value of Number.MAX_VALUE : 1.7976931348623157 x 10 308, , MIN_VALUE, The Number.MIN_VALUE property belongs to the static Number object. It, represents constants for the smallest possible positive numbers that JavaScript, can work with., The actual value of this constant is 5 x 10-324., , Syntax, The syntax to use MIN_VALUE is:, var val = Number.MIN_VALUE;, , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function showValue(), {, var val = Number.MIN_VALUE;, alert("Value of Number.MIN_VALUE : " + val );, , }, //-->, 113

Page 124 :
Javascript, , </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showValue();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , Value of Number.MIN_VALUE : 5e-324, , NaN, Unquoted literal constant NaN is a special value representing Not-a-Number., Since NaN always compares unequal to any number, including NaN, it is usually, used to indicate an error condition for a function that should return a valid, number., Note: Use the isNaN() global function to see if a value is an NaN value., , Syntax, The syntax to use NaN is:, var val = Number.NaN;, , Example, Try the following example to learn how to use NaN., <html>, 114

Page 125 :
Javascript, , <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function showValue(), {, var dayOfMonth = 50;, if (dayOfMonth < 1 || dayOfMonth > 31), {, dayOfMonth = Number.NaN, alert("Day of Month must be between 1 and 31."), }, Document.write("Value of dayOfMonth : " + dayOfMonth );, , }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showValue();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , 115

Page 126 :
Javascript, , Day of the Month must be between 1 and 31., , NEGATIVE_INFINITY, This is a special numeric value representing a value less than, Number.MIN_VALUE. This value is represented as "-Infinity". It resembles an, infinity in its mathematical behavior. For example, anything multiplied by, NEGATIVE_INFINITY is NEGATIVE_INFINITY, and anything divided by, NEGATIVE_INFINITY is zero., Because NEGATIVE_INFINITY is a constant, it is a read-only property of Number., , Syntax, The syntax to use NEGATIVE_INFINITY is as follows:, var val = Number. NEGATIVE_INFINITY;, , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function showValue(), {, var smallNumber = (-Number.MAX_VALUE) * 2, if (smallNumber == Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY) {, alert("Value of smallNumber : " + smallNumber );, }, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, 116

Page 127 :
Javascript, , <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showValue();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , Value of val : -Infinity, , POSITIVE_INFINITY, This is a special numeric value representing any value greater than, Number.MAX_VALUE. This value is represented as "Infinity". It resembles an, infinity in its mathematical behavior. For example, anything multiplied by, POSITIVE_INFINITY is POSITIVE_INFINITY, and anything divided by, POSITIVE_INFINITY is zero., As POSITIVE_INFINITY is a constant, it is a read-only property of Number., , Syntax, Use the following syntax to use POSITIVE_INFINITY., var val = Number. POSITIVE_INFINITY;, , Example, Try the following example to learn how use POSITIVE_INFINITY., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function showValue(), {, var bigNumber = Number.MAX_VALUE * 2, if (bigNumber == Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY) {, 117

Page 128 :
Javascript, , alert("Value of bigNumber : " + bigNumber );, }, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showValue();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , Value of val : Infinity, , Prototype, The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to any object, (Number, Boolean, String and Date etc.)., Note: Prototype is a global property which is available with almost all the, objects., , Syntax, Use the following syntax to use Prototype., object.prototype.name = value, , Example, 118

Page 129 :
Javascript, , Try the following example to use the prototype property to add a property to an, object., <html>, <head>, <title>User-defined objects</title>, , <script type="text/javascript">, , function book(title, author){, this.title = title;, this.author, , = author;, , }, </script>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, var myBook = new book("Perl", "Mohtashim");, book.prototype.price = null;, myBook.price = 100;, document.write("Book title is : " + myBook.title + "<br>");, document.write("Book author is : " + myBook.author + "<br>");, document.write("Book price is : " + myBook.price + "<br>");, </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Book title is : Perl, Book author is : Mohtashim, Book price is : 100, , 119

Page 130 :
Javascript, , constructor, It returns a reference to the Number function that created the instance's, prototype., , Syntax, Its syntax is as follows:, number.constructor(), , Return value, Returns the function that created this object's instance., , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <title>JavaScript constructor() Method</title>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, var num = new Number( 177.1234 );, document.write("num.constructor() is : " + num.constructor);, </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, num.constructor() is : function Number() { [native code] }, , Number Methods, The Number object contains only the default methods that are a part of every, object's definition., Method, , Description, , toExponential(), , Forces a number to display in exponential notation, even if, 120

Page 131 :
Javascript, , the number is in the range in which JavaScript normally uses, standard notation., toFixed(), , Formats a number with a specific number of digits to the, right of the decimal., , toLocaleString() Returns a string value version of the current number in a, format that may vary according to a browser's local settings., toPrecision(), , Defines how many total digits (including digits to the left and, right of the decimal) to display of a number., , toString(), , Returns the string representation of the number's value., , valueOf(), , Returns the number's value., , In the following sections, we will have a few examples to explain the methods of, Number., , toExponential (), This method returns a string representing the number object in exponential, notation., , Syntax, Its syntax is as follows:, number.toExponential( [fractionDigits] ), , Parameter Details, fractionDigits: An integer specifying the number of digits after the decimal, point. Defaults to as many digits as necessary to specify the number., , Return Value, A string representing a Number object in exponential notation with one digit, before the decimal point, rounded to fractionDigits digits after the decimal, point. If the fractionDigits argument is omitted, the number of digits after the, decimal point defaults to the number of digits necessary to represent the value, uniquely., , Example, 121

Page 134 :
Javascript, , document.write("<br />");, document.write("(1.23e-10).toFixed(2) is : " +, (1.23e-10).toFixed(2));, </script>, </body>, </html>, , Output, num.toFixed() is : 177, num.toFixed(6) is : 177.123400, num.toFixed(1) is : 177.1, (1.23e+20).toFixed(2) is:123000000000000000000.00, (1.23e-10).toFixed(2) is : 0.00, , toLocaleString (), This method converts a number object into a human, representing the number using the locale of the environment., , readable, , string, , Syntax, Its syntax is as follows:, number.toLocaleString(), , Return Value, Returns a human readable string representing the number using the locale of, the environment., , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <title>JavaScript toLocaleString() Method </title>, </head>, <body>, <script type="text/javascript">, 124

24., , ARRAYS, , Javascript, , The Array object lets you store multiple values in a single variable. It stores a, fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. An array is used to, store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a, collection of variables of the same type., , Syntax, Use the following syntax to create an Array Object., var fruits = new Array( "apple", "orange", "mango" );, The Array parameter is a list of strings or integers. When you specify a single, numeric parameter with the Array constructor, you specify the initial length of, the array. The maximum length allowed for an array is 4,294,967,295., You can create array by simply assigning values as follows:, var fruits = [ "apple", "orange", "mango" ];, You will use ordinal numbers to access and to set values inside an array as, follows., fruits[0] is the first element, fruits[1] is the second element, fruits[2] is the third element, , Array Properties, Here is a list of the properties of the Array object along with their description., Property, , Description, , constructor, , Returns a reference to the array function that created, the object., , index, , The property represents the zero-based index of the, match in the string, 177

25., , DATE, , Javascript, , The Date object is a datatype built into the JavaScript language. Date objects, are created with the new Date() as shown below., Once a Date object is created, a number of methods allow you to operate on it., Most methods simply allow you to get and set the year, month, day, hour,, minute, second, and millisecond fields of the object, using either local time or, UTC (universal, or GMT) time., The ECMAScript standard requires the Date object to be able to represent any, date and time, to millisecond precision, within 100 million days before or after, 1/1/1970. This is a range of plus or minus 273,785 years, so JavaScript can, represent date and time till the year 275755., , Syntax, You can use any of the following syntaxes to create a Date object using Date(), constructor., new Date( ), new Date(milliseconds), new Date(datestring), new Date(year,month,date[,hour,minute,second,millisecond ]), Note: Parameters in the brackets are always optional., Here is a description of the parameters:, , , No Argument: With no arguments, the Date() constructor creates a Date, object set to the current date and time., , , , milliseconds: When one numeric argument is passed, it is taken as the, internal numeric representation of the date in milliseconds, as returned by, the getTime() method. For example, passing the argument 5000 creates a, date that represents five seconds past midnight on 1/1/70., , , , datestring: When one string argument is passed, it is a string, representation of a date, in the format accepted by the Date.parse(), method., , , , 7 agruments: To use the last form of the constructor shown above. Here, is a description of each argument:, , 220

Page 231 :
Javascript, , o, , year: Integer value representing the year. For compatibility (in order, to avoid the Y2K problem), you should always specify the year in full;, use 1998, rather than 98., , o, , month: Integer value representing the month, beginning with 0 for, January to 11 for December., , o, , date: Integer value representing the day of the month., , o, , hour: Integer value representing the hour of the day (24-hour scale)., , o, , minute: Integer value representing the minute segment of a time, reading., , o, , second: Integer value representing the second segment of a time, reading., , o, , millisecond: Integer value representing the millisecond segment of a, time reading., , Date Properties, Here is a list of the properties of the Date object along with their description., Property, , Description, , constructor, , Specifies the, prototype., , prototype, , The prototype property allows you to add properties, and methods to an object., , function, , that, , creates, , an, , object's, , In the following sections, we will have a few examples to demonstrate the usage, of different Date properties., , constructor, Javascript date constructor property returns a reference to the array function, that created the instance's prototype., , Syntax, Its syntax is as follows:, date.constructor, , 221

28., , DOM, , Javascript, , Every web page resides inside a browser window which can be considered as an, object., A Document object represents the HTML document that is displayed in that, window. The Document object has various properties that refer to other objects, which allow access to and modification of document content., The way a document content is accessed and modified is called the Document, Object Model, or DOM. The Objects are organized in a hierarchy. This, hierarchical structure applies to the organization of objects in a Web document., , , Window object: Top of the hierarchy. It is the outmost element of the, object hierarchy., , , , Document object: Each HTML document that gets loaded into a window, becomes a document object. The document contains the contents of the, page., , , , Form object: Everything enclosed in the <form>...</form> tags sets the, form object., , , , Form control elements: The form object contains all the elements, defined for that object such as text fields, buttons, radio buttons, and, checkboxes., , Here is a simple hierarchy of a few important objects:, , 325

Page 336 :
Javascript, , There are several DOMs in existence. The following sections explain each of, these DOMs in detail and describe how you can use them to access and modify, document content., , , The Legacy DOM: This is the model which was introduced in early versions, of JavaScript language. It is well supported by all browsers, but allows access, only to certain key portions of documents, such as forms, form elements, and, images., , , , The W3C DOM: This document object model allows access and modification, of all document content and is standardized by the World Wide Web, Consortium (W3C). This model is supported by almost all the modern, browsers., , , , The IE4 DOM: This document object model was introduced in Version 4 of, Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. IE 5 and later versions include support, for most basic W3C DOM features., , The Legacy DOM, This is the model which was introduced in early versions of JavaScript language., It is well supported by all browsers, but allows access only to certain key, portions of documents, such as forms, form elements, and images., This model provides several read-only properties, such as title, URL, and, lastModified provide information about the document as a whole. Apart from, that, there are various methods provided by this model which can be used to set, and get document property values., , Document Properties in Legacy DOM, Here is a list of the document properties which can be accessed using Legacy, DOM., S.No, , Property and Description, alinkColor, , 1, , Deprecated - A string that specifies the color of activated links., Ex: document.alinkColor, anchors[ ], , 2, , An array of Anchor objects, one for each anchor that appears in, the document, , 326

Page 337 :

Returns nothing., Ex: document.writeln( value, ...), , Example, We can locate any HTML element within any HTML document using HTML DOM., For instance, if a web document contains a form element, then using JavaScript,, we can refer to it as document.forms[0]. If your Web document includes two, form elements, the first form is referred to as document.forms[0] and the, second as document.forms[1]., Using the hierarchy and properties given above, we can access the first form, element using document.forms[0].elements[0] and so on., Here is an example to access document properties using Legacy DOM method., <html>, <head>, <title> Document Title </title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function myFunc(), 330

Page 341 :
Javascript, , {, var ret = document.title;, alert("Document Title : " + ret );, , var ret = document.URL;, alert("Document URL : " + ret );, , var ret = document.forms[0];, alert("Document First Form : " + ret );, , var ret = document.forms[0].elements[1];, alert("Second element : " + ret );, , }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <h1 id="title">This is main title</h1>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, , <form name="FirstForm">, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, <input type="button" value="Cancel">, </form>, , <form name="SecondForm">, <input type="button" value="Don't ClickMe"/>, </form>, , </body>, </html>, , Output, 331

Javascript, , This is main title, Click the following to see the result:, , Click Me, , Cancel, , Don’t Click Me, NOTE: This example returns objects for forms and elements and we would have, to access their values by using those object properties which are not discussed, in this tutorial., , The W3C DOM, This document object model allows access and modification of all document, content and is standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This, model is supported by almost all the modern browsers., The W3C DOM standardizes most of the features of the legacy DOM and adds, new ones as well. In addition to supporting forms[ ], images[ ], and other array, properties of the Document object, it defines methods that allow scripts to, access and manipulate any document element and not just special-purpose, elements like forms and images., , Document Properties in W3C DOM, This model supports all the properties available in Legacy DOM. Additionally,, here is a list of document properties which can be accessed using W3C DOM., S.No, , Property and Description, Body, , 1, , A reference to the Element object that represents the <body> tag, of this document., Ex: document.body, defaultView, , 2, , It is a read-only property and represents the window in which the, document is displayed., 332

Page 349 :
Javascript, , Example, The IE 4 DOM does not support the getElementById() method. Instead, it, allows you to look up arbitrary document elements by id attribute within the, all [] array of the document object., Here's how to find all <li> tags within the first <ul> tag. Note that you must, specify the desired HTML tag name in uppercase with the all.tags() method., var lists = document.all.tags("UL");, var items = lists[0].all.tags("LI");, Here is another example to access document properties using IE4 DOM method., <html>, <head>, <title> Document Title </title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function myFunc(), {, var ret = document.all["heading"];, alert("Document Heading : " + ret.innerHTML );, , var ret = document.all.tags("P");;, alert("First Paragraph : " + ret[0].innerHTML);, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <h1 id="heading">This is main title</h1>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, , <form id="form1" name="FirstForm">, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, <input type="button" value="Cancel">, 339

Page 353 :
29., , Javascript, , ERRORS AND EXCEPTIONS, , There are three types of errors in programming: (a) Syntax Errors, (b) Runtime, Errors, and (c) Logical Errors., , Syntax Errors, Syntax errors, also called parsing errors, occur at compile time in traditional, programming languages and at interpret time in JavaScript., For example, the following line causes a syntax error because it is missing a, closing parenthesis., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-window.print(;, //-->, </script>, When a syntax error occurs in JavaScript, only the code contained within the, same thread as the syntax error is affected and the rest of the code in other, threads gets executed assuming nothing in them depends on the code, containing the error., , Runtime Errors, Runtime errors, also called, compilation/interpretation)., , exceptions,, , occur, , during, , execution, , (after, , For example, the following line causes a runtime error because here the syntax, is correct, but at runtime, it is trying to call a method that does not exist., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-window.printme();, //-->, </script>, Exceptions also affect the thread in which they occur, allowing other JavaScript, threads to continue normal execution., 343

Page 354 :
Javascript, , Logical Errors, Logic errors can be the most difficult type of errors to track down. These errors, are not the result of a syntax or runtime error. Instead, they occur when you, make a mistake in the logic that drives your script and you do not get the result, you expected., You cannot catch those errors, because it depends on your business requirement, what type of logic you want to put in your program., , The try...catch...finally Statement, The latest versions of JavaScript added exception handling capabilities., JavaScript implements the try...catch...finally construct as well as, the throw operator to handle exceptions., You can catch programmer-generated and runtime exceptions, but you cannot, catch JavaScript syntax errors., Here is the try...catch...finally block syntax:, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-try {, // Code to run, [break;], } catch ( e ) {, // Code to run if an exception occurs, [break;], }[ finally {, // Code that is always executed regardless of, // an exception occurring, }], //-->, </script>, The try block must be followed by either exactly one catch block or one finally, block (or one of both). When an exception occurs in the try block, the exception, is placed in e and the catch block is executed. The optional finally block, executes unconditionally after try/catch., , 344

Page 355 :
Javascript, , Example, Here is an example where we are trying to call a non-existing function which in, turn is raising an exception. Let us see how it behaves without try...catch., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function myFunc(), {, var a = 100;, , document.write ("Value of variable a is : " + a );, , }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, </form>, <p>Error will happen and depending on your browser it will give, different result.</p>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, Error will happen and depending on your browser it will give different, result., , 345

Page 356 :
Javascript, , Now let us try to catch this exception using try...catch and display a userfriendly message. You can also suppress this message, if you want to hide this, error from a user., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function myFunc(), {, var a = 100;, , try {, document.write ("Value of variable a is : " + a );, } catch ( e ) {, document.write ("Error: " + e.description );, }, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , 346

Page 357 :
Javascript, , You can use a finally block which will always execute unconditionally after the, try/catch. Here is an example., , Example, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function myFunc(), {, var a = 100;, , try {, document.write ("Value of variable a is : " + a );, }catch ( e ) {, document.write ("Error: " + e.description );, }finally {, document.write ("Finally block will always execute!" );, }, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, </form>, <p>Try running after fixing the problem with method name.</p>, </body>, </html>, , 347

Page 358 :
Javascript, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, Try running after fixing the problem with method name., , The throw Statement, You can use a throw statement to raise your built-in exceptions or your, customized exceptions. Later these exceptions can be captured and you can take, an appropriate action., , Example, The following example demonstrates how to use a throw statement., <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function myFunc(), {, var a = 100;, var b = 0;, , try{, if ( b == 0 ){, throw( "Divide by zero error." );, }else{, var c = a / b;, }, }catch ( e ) {, document.write ("Error: " + e );, }, }, //-->, </script>, 348

Page 359 :
Javascript, , </head>, <body>, <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, You can raise an exception in one function using a string, integer, Boolean, or an, object and then you can capture that exception either in the same function as, we did above, or in another function using a try...catch block., , The onerror( ) Method, The onerror event handler was the first feature to facilitate error handling in, JavaScript. The error event is fired on the window object whenever an exception, occurs on the page., , Example, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-window.onerror = function () {, document.write ("An error occurred.");, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, 349

Page 360 :
Javascript, , <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, The onerror event handler provides three pieces of information to identify the, exact nature of the error:, , , Error message: The same message that the browser would display for, the given error, , , , URL: The file in which the error occurred, , , , Line number: The line number in the given URL that caused the error, , Here is the example to show how to extract this information., , Example, <html>, <head>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-window.onerror = function (msg, url, line) {, document.write ("Message : " + msg );, document.write ("url : " + url );, document.write ("Line number : " + line );, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, 350

Page 361 :
Javascript, , <p>Click the following to see the result:</p>, <form>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, Output, Click the following to see the result:, Click Me, , You can display extracted information in whatever way you think it is better., You can use an onerror method, as shown below, to display an error message, in case there is any problem in loading an image., <img src="myimage.gif", onerror = "alert('An error occurred loading the image.')" />, You can use onerror with many HTML tags to display appropriate messages in, case of errors., , 351

30., , FORM VALIDATION, , Javascript, , Form validation normally used to occur at the server, after the client had, entered all the necessary data and then pressed the Submit button. If the data, entered by a client was incorrect or was simply missing, the server would have, to send all the data back to the client and request that the form be resubmitted, with correct information. This was really a lengthy process which used to put a, lot of burden on the server., JavaScript provides a way to validate form's data on the client's computer before, sending it to the web server. Form validation generally performs two functions., , , Basic Validation - First of all, the form must be checked to make sure all, the mandatory fields are filled in. It would require just a loop through, each field in the form and check for data., , , , Data Format Validation - Secondly, the data that is entered must be, checked for correct form and value. Your code must include appropriate, logic to test correctness of data., , Example, We will take an example to understand the process of validation. Here is a, simple form in html format., <html>, <head>, <title>Form Validation</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-// Form validation code will come here., //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form action="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" name="myForm", onsubmit="return(validate());">, <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="1">, <tr>, <td align="right">Name</td>, 352

Page 364 :
Javascript, , Basic Form Validation, First let us see how to do a basic form validation. In the above form, we are, calling validate() to validate data when onsubmit event is occurring. The, following code shows the implementation of this validate() function., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-// Form validation code will come here., function validate(), {, , if( document.myForm.Name.value == "" ), {, alert( "Please provide your name!" );, document.myForm.Name.focus() ;, return false;, }, if( document.myForm.EMail.value == "" ), {, alert( "Please provide your Email!" );, document.myForm.EMail.focus() ;, return false;, 354

Page 365 :
Javascript, , }, if( document.myForm.Zip.value == "" ||, isNaN( document.myForm.Zip.value ) ||, document.myForm.Zip.value.length != 5 ), {, alert( "Please provide a zip in the format #####." );, document.myForm.Zip.focus() ;, return false;, }, if( document.myForm.Country.value == "-1" ), {, alert( "Please provide your country!" );, return false;, }, return( true );, }, //-->, </script>, , Data Format Validation, Now we will see how we can validate our entered form data before submitting it, to the web server., The following example shows how to validate an entered email address. An, email address must contain at least a ‘@’ sign and a dot (.). Also, the ‘@’ must, not be the first character of the email address, and the last dot must at least be, one character after the ‘@’ sign., , Example, Try the following code for email validation., <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function validateEmail(), {, , 355

31., , Javascript, , ANIMATION, , You can use JavaScript to create a complex animation having, but not limited to,, the following elements:, , , Fireworks, , , , Fade Effect, , , , Roll-in or Roll-out, , , , Page-in or Page-out, , , , Object movements, , You might be, interested, library: Script.Aculo.us., , in, , existing, , JavaScript, , based, , animation, , This tutorial provides a basic understanding of how to use JavaScript to create, an animation., JavaScript can be used to move a number of DOM elements (<img />, <div>, or, any other HTML element) around the page according to some sort of pattern, determined by a logical equation or function., JavaScript provides the following two functions to be frequently used in, animation programs., , , setTimeout (function, duration) - This function calls function after, duration milliseconds from now., , , , setInterval (function, duration) - This function calls function after, every duration milliseconds., , , , clearTimeout (setTimeout_variable) - This function clears any timer, set by the setTimeout() function., , JavaScript can also set a number of attributes of a DOM object including its, position on the screen. You can set top and left attribute of an object to position, it anywhere on the screen. Here is its syntax., // Set distance from left edge of the screen., object.style.left = distance in pixels or points;, or, // Set distance from top edge of the screen., object.style.top = distance in pixels or points;, 357

Page 368 :
Javascript, , Manual Animation, So let's implement one simple animation using DOM object properties and, JavaScript functions as follows. The following list contains different DOM, methods., , , We are using the JavaScript function getElementById() to get a DOM, object and then assigning it to a global variable imgObj., , , , We have defined an initialization function init() to initialize imgObj where, we have set its position and left attributes., , , , We are calling initialization function at the time of window load., , , , Finally, we are calling moveRight() function to increase the left distance, by 10 pixels. You could also set it to a negative value to move it to the left, side., , Example, Try the following example., <html>, <head>, <title>JavaScript Animation</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var imgObj = null;, function init(){, imgObj = document.getElementById('myImage');, imgObj.style.position= 'relative';, imgObj.style.left = '0px';, }, function moveRight(){, imgObj.style.left = parseInt(imgObj.style.left) + 10 + 'px';, }, window.onload =init;, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, 358

Page 369 :
Javascript, , <form>, <img id="myImage" src="/images/html.gif" />, <p>Click button below to move the image to right</p>, <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="moveRight();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, , Output, It is not possible to show animation in this tutorial. But you can, , Try it here., , Automated Animation, In the above example, we saw how an image moves to right with every click. We, can automate this process by using the JavaScript function setTimeout() as, follows., Here we have added more methods. So let's see what is new here:, , , The moveRight() function is calling setTimeout() function to set the, position of imgObj., , , , We have added a new function stop() to clear the timer, by setTimeout() function and to set the object at its initial position., , set, , Example, Try the following example code., <html>, <head>, <title>JavaScript Animation</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-var imgObj = null;, var animate ;, function init(){, imgObj = document.getElementById('myImage');, imgObj.style.position= 'relative';, imgObj.style.left = '0px';, 359

Page 370 :
Javascript, , }, function moveRight(){, imgObj.style.left = parseInt(imgObj.style.left) + 10 + 'px';, animate = setTimeout(moveRight,20); // call moveRight in 20msec, }, function stop(){, clearTimeout(animate);, imgObj.style.left = '0px';, }, window.onload =init;, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form>, <img id="myImage" src="/images/html.gif" />, <p>Click the buttons below to handle animation</p>, <input type="button" value="Start" onclick="moveRight();" />, <input type="button" value="Stop" onclick="stop();" />, </form>, </body>, </html>, It is not possible to show animation in this tutorial. But you can, , Try it here., , Rollover with a Mouse Event, Here is a simple example showing image rollover with a mouse event., Let's see what we are using in the following example:, , , At the time of loading this page, the ‘if’ statement checks for the, existence of the image object. If the image object is unavailable, this, block will not be executed., , , , The Image() constructor creates and preloads a new image object called, image1., , 360

Page 371 :
Javascript, , , , The src property is assigned the name of the external image file called, /images/html.gif., , , , Similarly, we have created image2 object and assigned /images/http.gif, in this object., , , , The # (hash mark) disables the link so that the browser does not try to go, to a URL when clicked. This link is an image., , , , The onMouseOver event handler is triggered when the user's mouse, moves onto the link, and the onMouseOut event handler is triggered, when the user's mouse moves away from the link (image)., , , , When the mouse moves over the image, the HTTP image changes from, the first image to the second one. When the mouse is moved away from, the image, the original image is displayed., , , , When the mouse is moved away from the link, the initial image html.gif, will reappear on the screen., , <html>, <head>, <title>Rollover with a Mouse Events</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-if(document.images){, var image1 = new Image();, , // Preload an image, , image1.src = "/images/html.gif";, var image2 = new Image();, , // Preload second image, , image2.src = "/images/http.gif";, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <p>Move your mouse over the image to see the result</p>, <a href="#" onMouseOver="document.myImage.src=image2.src;", onMouseOut="document.myImage.src=image1.src;">, <img name="myImage" src="/images/html.gif" />, </a>, </body>, 361

32., , MULTIMEDIA, , Javascript, , The JavaScript navigator object includes a child object called plugins. This, object is an array, with one entry for each plug-in installed on the browser. The, navigator.plugins object is supported only by Netscape, Firefox, and Mozilla only., , Example, Here is an example that shows how to list down all the plug-on installed in your, browser:, <html>, <head>, <title>List of Plug-Ins</title>, </head>, <body>, <table border="1">, <tr><th>Plug-in Name</th><th>Filename</th><th>Description</th></tr>, <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">, for (i=0; i<navigator.plugins.length; i++) {, document.write("<tr><td>");, document.write(navigator.plugins[i].name);, document.write("</td><td>");, document.write(navigator.plugins[i].filename);, document.write("</td><td>");, document.write(navigator.plugins[i].description);, document.write("</td></tr>");, }, </script>, </table>, </body>, </html>, , 363

Page 374 :
Javascript, , Output, , Checking for Plug-Ins, Each plug-in has an entry in the array. Each entry has the following properties:, , , name - is the name of the plug-in., , , , filename - is the executable file that was loaded to install the plug-in., , , , description - is a description of the plug-in, supplied by the developer., , , , mimeTypes - is an array with one entry for each MIME type supported by, the plug-in., , You can use these properties in a script to find out the installed plug-ins, and, then using JavaScript, you can play appropriate multimedia file. Take a look at, the following example., <html>, <head>, <title>Using Plug-Ins</title>, </head>, <body>, <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">, media = navigator.mimeTypes["video/quicktime"];, if (media){, document.write("<embed src='quick.mov' height=100 width=100>");, }, else{, 364

Page 375 :
Javascript, , document.write("<img src='quick.gif' height=100 width=100>");, }, </script>, </body>, </html>, NOTE: Here we are using HTML <embed> tag to embed a multimedia file., , Controlling Multimedia, Let us take a real example which works in almost all the browsers., <html>, <head>, <title>Using Embeded Object</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function play(), {, if (!document.demo.IsPlaying()){, document.demo.Play();, }, }, function stop(), {, if (document.demo.IsPlaying()){, document.demo.StopPlay();, }, }, function rewind(), if (document.demo.IsPlaying()){, document.demo.StopPlay();, }, document.demo.Rewind();, }, 365

33., , DEBUGGING, , Javascript, , Every now and then, developers commit mistakes while coding. A mistake in a, program or a script is referred to as a bug., The process of finding and fixing bugs is called debugging and is a normal part, of the development process. This section covers tools and techniques that can, help you with debugging tasks., , Error Messages in IE, The most basic way to track down errors is by turning on error information in, your browser. By default, Internet Explorer shows an error icon in the status bar, when an error occurs on the page., , Double-clicking this icon takes you to a dialog box showing information about, the specific error that occurred., Since this icon is easy to overlook, Internet Explorer gives you the option to, automatically show the Error dialog box whenever an error occurs., To enable this option, select Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced, tab and then finally check the “Display a Notification about Every Script, Error” box option as shown below., , 367

Page 378 :
Javascript, , Error Messages in Firefox or Mozilla, Other browsers like Firefox, Netscape, and Mozilla send error messages to a, special window called the JavaScript Console or Error Console. To view the, console, select Tools --> Error Console or Web Development., Unfortunately, since these browsers give no visual indication when an error, occurs, you must keep the Console open and watch for errors as your script, executes., , 368

Page 379 :
Javascript, , Error Notifications, Error notifications that show up on Console or through Internet Explorer dialog, boxes are the result of both syntax and runtime errors. These error notification, include the line number at which the error occurred., If you are using Firefox, then you can click on the error available in the error, console to go to the exact line in the script having error., , How to Debug a Script, There are various ways to debug your JavaScript:, , Use a JavaScript Validator, One way to check your JavaScript code for strange bugs is to run it through a, program that checks it to make sure it is valid and that it follows the official, syntax rules of the language. These programs are called validating parsers or, just validators for short, and often come with commercial HTML and JavaScript, editors., The most convenient validator for JavaScript is Douglas Crockford's JavaScript, Lint, which is available for free at Douglas Crockford's JavaScript Lint., Simply visit that web page, paste your JavaScript (Only JavaScript) code into the, text area provided, and click the jslint button. This program will parse through, your JavaScript code, ensuring that all the variable and function definitions, follow the correct syntax. It will also check JavaScript statements, such as if and, while, to ensure they too follow the correct format, , Add Debugging Code to Your Programs, You can use the alert() or document.write() methods in your program to, debug your code. For example, you might write something as follows:, ar debugging = true;, var whichImage = "widget";, if( debugging ), alert( "Calls swapImage() with argument: " + whichImage );, var swapStatus = swapImage( whichImage );, if( debugging ), alert( "Exits swapImage() with swapStatus=" + swapStatus );, By examining the content and order of the alert() as they appear, you can, examine the health of your program very easily., 369

Page 380 :
Javascript, , Use a JavaScript Debugger, A debugger is an application that places all aspects of script execution under the, control of the programmer. Debuggers provide fine-grained control over the, state of the script through an interface that allows you to examine and set, values as well as control the flow of execution., Once a script has been loaded into a debugger, it can be run one line at a time, or instructed to halt at certain breakpoints. Once execution is halted, the, programmer can examine the state of the script and its variables in order to, determine if something is amiss. You can also watch variables for changes in, their values., The latest version of the Mozilla JavaScript Debugger (code-named Venkman), for both Mozilla and Netscape browsers can be downloaded at, http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/venkman., , Useful Tips for Developers, You can keep the following tips in mind to reduce the number of errors in your, scripts and simplify the debugging process:, , , Use plenty of comments. Comments enable you to explain why you, wrote the script the way you did and to explain particularly difficult, sections of code., , , , Always use indentation to make your code easy to read. Indenting, statements also makes it easier for you to match up beginning and ending, tags, curly braces, and other HTML and script elements., , , , Write modular code. Whenever possible, group your statements into, functions. Functions let you group related statements, and test and reuse, portions of code with minimal effort., , , , Be consistent in the way you name your variables and functions. Try using, names that are long enough to be meaningful and that describe the, contents of the variable or the purpose of the function., , , , Use consistent syntax when naming variables and functions. In other, words, keep them all lowercase or all uppercase; if you prefer Camel-Back, notation, use it consistently., , , , Test long scripts in a modular fashion. In other words, do not try to, write the entire script before testing any portion of it. Write a piece and, get it to work before adding the next portion of code., , , , Use descriptive variable and function names and avoid using singlecharacter names., , 370

34., , IMAGE MAP, , Javascript, , You can use JavaScript to create client-side image map. Client-side image maps, are enabled by the usemap attribute for the <img /> tag and defined by special, <map> and <area> extension tags., The image that is going to form the map is inserted into the page using the, <img /> element as normal, except that it carries an extra attribute called, usemap. The value of the usemap attribute is the value of the name attribute, on the <map> element, which you are about to meet, preceded by a pound or, hash sign., The <map> element actually creates the map for the image and usually follows, directly after the <img /> element. It acts as a container for the <area />, elements that actually define the clickable hotspots. The <map> element carries, only one attribute, the name attribute, which is the name that identifies the, map. This is how the <img /> element knows which <map> element to use., The <area> element specifies the shape and the coordinates that define the, boundaries of each clickable hotspot., The following code combines imagemaps and JavaScript to produce a message, in a text box when the mouse is moved over different parts of an image., <html>, <head>, <title>Using JavaScript Image Map</title>, <script type="text/javascript">, <!-function showTutorial(name){, document.myform.stage.value = name, }, //-->, </script>, </head>, <body>, <form name="myform">, <input type="text" name="stage" size="20" />, </form>, 372
