JavaScript Introduction



JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world.
This page contains some examples of what JavaScript can do.

JavaScript Can Change HTML Content

One of many HTML methods is getElementById().
This example uses the method to "find" an HTML element (with id="demo"), and changes the element content (innerHTML) to "Hello JavaScript":

Example

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript";


JavaScript Can Change HTML Attributes

This example changes an HTML image, by changing the src attribute of an <img> tag:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>JavaScript Can Change Images</h1>

<img id="myImage" onclick="changeImage()" src="pic_bulboff.gif" width="100"height="180">

<p>Click the light bulb to turn on/off the light.</p>

<script>
function changeImage() {
    var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
    if (image.src.match("bulbon")) {
        image.src = "pic_bulboff.gif";
    } else {
        image.src = "pic_bulbon.gif";
    }
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Can Change HTML Styles (CSS)

Changing the style of an HTML element, is a variant of changing an HTML attribute:

Example

document.getElementById("demo").style.fontSize = "25px";

JavaScript Can Validate Data

JavaScript is often used to validate input:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>JavaScript Can Validate Input</h1>

<p>Please input a number between 1 and 10:</p>

<input id="numb">

<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Submit</button>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
function myFunction() {
    var x, text;

    // Get the value of the input field with id="numb"    x = document.getElementById("numb").value;

    // If x is Not a Number or less than one or greater than 10    if (isNaN(x) || x < 1 || x > 10) {
        text = "Input not valid";
    } else {
        text = "Input OK";
    }
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = text;
}
</script>

</body>
</html> 

Did You Know?

NoteJavaScript and Java are completely different languages, both in concept and design.
JavaScript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995, and became an ECMA standard in 1997.
ECMA-262 is the official name. ECMAScript 6 (released in June 2015) is the latest official version of JavaScript.
