Javascript Material 1

What is Java Script?
JavaScript 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. It is
open and cross-platform.
JavaScript was first known as Live Script, 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 Live Script.
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.
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.
Advantages of JavaScript
• 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 drag-
and-drop components and sliders to give a Rich Interface to your site
visitors.
JavaScript - Syntax
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 your
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 segment will look like −
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
JavaScript code
</script>
First JavaScript Script

Let us take a sample example to print out "Hello World". We added an optional HTML
comment that surrounds our JavaScript code.
<html>
<body>

</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>
But when formatted in a single line as follows, you must use semicolons −

</script>
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.
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  is not recognized by JavaScript so it

should be written as //-->.
The following example shows how to use comments in JavaScript.


</script>
JavaScript - Placement in HTML File

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">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="sayHello()" value="Say Hello" />
</body>
</html>
This code will produce the following results −
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>
<p>This is web page body </p>
</body>
</html>
This code will produce the following results −
JavaScript in <body> and <head> Sections

You can put your JavaScript code in <head> and <body> section altogether as follows
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
This code will produce the following result −

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 exampl e to show how you can include an external JavaScript file in your
HTML code using script tag and its src attribute.
<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.
JavaScript - Variables
JavaScript Data types
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, eg. 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.
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>
You can also declare multiple variables with the same var keyword as follows −

</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>
JavaScript is untyped language. This means that a JavaScript variable can

hold a value of any data type. Unlike many other languages
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.
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.
<html>
<body onload = checkscope();>
<script type = "text/javascript">

</script>
</body>
</html>
This produces 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.
JavaScript Reserved Words

A list of all the reserved words in JavaScript is 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
JavaScript - Operators
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
• Comparision Operators
• Logical (or Relational) Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Conditional (or ternary) Operators
Lets have a look on all operators one by one.
Arithmetic Operators
JavaScript supports the following arithmetic operators −
Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then −
Sr.No Operator and Description
1 + (Addition)
Adds two operands
Ex: A + B will give 30
2 - (Subtraction)
Subtracts the second operand from the first
Ex: A - B will give -10
3 * (Multiplication)
Multiply both operands
Ex: A * B will give 200
4 / (Division)
Divide the numerator by the denominator
Ex: B / A will give 2
5 % (Modulus)
Outputs the remainder of an integer division
Ex: B % A will give 0
6 ++ (Increment)
Increases an integer value by one
Ex: A++ will give 11
7 -- (Decrement)
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".
The following code shows how to use arithmetic operators in JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
Set the variables to different values and then try...
</body>
</html>
Output
a + b = 43
a - b = 23
a / b = 3.3
a % b = 3
a + b + c = 43Test
++a = 35
--b = 8
Set the variables to different values and then try...
Comparison Operators
JavaScript supports the following comparison operators −
1 = = (Equal)
Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if yes, then the
condition becomes true.
Ex: (A == B) is not true.
2 != (Not Equal)
Checks if the value of two operands are equal or not, if the values are
not equal, then the condition becomes true.
Ex: (A != B) is true.
3 > (Greater than)
Checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the
right operand, if yes, then the condition becomes true.
Ex: (A > B) is not true.
4 < (Less than)
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.
5 >= (Greater than or Equal to)
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.
6 <= (Less than or Equal to)
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.
The following code shows how to use comparison operators in JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
Set the variables to different values and different operators and then try...
</body>
</html>
Output
(a == b) => false
(a < b) => true
(a > b) => false
(a != b) => true
(a >= b) => false
a <= b) => true
Logical Operators
JavaScript supports the following logical operators −
1 && (Logical AND)
If both the operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes true.
Ex: (A && B) is true.
2 || (Logical OR)
If any of the two operands are non-zero, then the condition becomes
true.
Ex: (A || B) is true.
3 ! (Logical NOT)
Reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then the
Logical NOT operator will make it false.
Ex: ! (A && B) is false.
Try the following code to learn how to implement Logical Operators in

JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
<p>Set the variables to different values and different operators and then
try...</p>
</body>
</html>
Output
(a && b) => false
(a || b) => true
!(a && b) => true
Assignment Operators
JavaScript supports the following assignment operators −
1 = (Simple Assignment )
Assigns values from the right side operand to the left side operand
Ex: C = A + B will assign the value of A + B into C
2 += (Add and Assignment)
It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to
the left operand.
Ex: C += A is equivalent to C = C + A
3 −= (Subtract and Assignment)
It subtracts the right operand from the left operand and assigns the
result to the left operand.
Ex: C -= A is equivalent to C = C - A
4 *= (Multiply and Assignment)
It multiplies the right operand with the left operand and assigns the
result to the left operand.
Ex: C *= A is equivalent to C = C * A
5 /= (Divide and Assignment)
It divides the left operand with the right operand and assigns the result
to the left operand.
Ex: C /= A is equivalent to C = C / A
6 %= (Modules and Assignment)
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 like
<<=, >>=, >>=, &=, |= and ^=.
Try the following code to implement assignment operator in JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
try...</p>
</body>
</html>
Output
Value of a => (a = b) => 10
Value of a => (a += b) => 20
Value of a => (a -= b) => 10
Value of a => (a *= b) => 100
Value of a => (a /= b) => 10
Value of a => (a %= b) => 0
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.

1 ? : (Conditional )
If Condition is true? Then value X : Otherwise value Y
Try the following code to understand how the Conditional Operator works in
JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
try...</p>
</body>
</html>
Output
((a > b) ? 100 : 200) => 200
((a < b) ? 100 : 200) => 100
Type of Operator
The typeof operator is a unary operator that is placed before its single operand, which
can be of any type. 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"
Function "function"
Undefined "undefined"
Null "object"
The following code shows how to implement typeof operator.
<html>
<body>

</script>
try...</p>
</body>
</html>
Output
Result => B is String
Result => A is Numeric
JavaScript - if...else Statement

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.
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.
Try the following example to understand how the if statement works.
<html>
<body>

</script>
<p>Set the variable to different value and then try...</p>
</body>
</html>
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
if (expression){
else{
Statement(s) to be executed if expression is false
Try the following code to learn how to implement an if-else statement in JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Does not qualify for driving
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){
else if (expression 3){
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.
Try the following code to learn how to implement an if-else-if statement in

JavaScript.

<body>

</script>

JavaScript - Switch Case

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 ifstatements.
Flow Chart
The following flow chart explains a switch-case statement works.
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.
Try the following example to implement switch-case statement.
<html>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Entering switch block
Good job
Exiting switch block
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>
</body>
</html>
Output
Entering switch block
Good job
Pretty good
Passed
Not so good
Failed
Unknown grade
Exiting switch block
JavaScript - While Loops
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 −
Syntax
The syntax of while loop in JavaScript is as follows −
while (expression){
Try the following example to implement while loop.
<html>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Starting Loop
Current Count : 0
Current Count : 1
Current Count : 2
Current Count : 3
Current Count : 4
Current Count : 5
Current Count : 6
Current Count : 7
Current Count : 8
Current Count : 9
Loop stopped!
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 −
Syntax
The syntax for do-while loop in JavaScript is as follows −
do{
Statement(s) to be executed;
} while (expression);
Try the following example to learn how to implement a do-while loop in

JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Starting Loop
Current Count : 0
Current Count : 1
Current Count : 2
Current Count : 3
Current Count : 4
Loop Stopped!
JavaScript - 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 −
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
Try the following example to learn how a for loop works in JavaScript.
<html>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Starting Loop
Current Count : 0
Current Count : 1
Current Count : 2
Current Count : 3
Current Count : 4
Current Count : 5
Current Count : 6
Current Count : 7
Current Count : 8
Current Count : 9
Loop stopped!
JavaScript - Loop Control

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 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 loop.
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 −
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 −
<html>
<body>

</script>
</body>
</html>
Output
Entering the loop
2
3
4
5
Exiting the loop!
We already have seen the usage of break statement inside a switchstatement.
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 continuestatement 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.
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>
</body>
</html>
Output
Entering the loop

JavaScript - Functions
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
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.
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>
Try the following example. It defines a function called sayHello that takes no
parameters −

</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>
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>
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.
Try the following example. We have modified our sayHello function here. Now it takes
two parameters.
<html>
<head>
function sayHello(name, age)
document.write (name + " is " + age + " years old.");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<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>
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.
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>
function concatenate(first, last)
var full;
full = first + last;
return full;
function secondFunction()
var result;
result = concatenate('Zara', 'Ali');
document.write (result );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" onclick="secondFunction()" value="Call Function">
</form>
<p>Use different parameters inside the function and then try...</p>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript – Events
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.
onClick Event
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.
Try the following example.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Click the following button and see result</p>
<form>
</form>
</body>
</html>
onsubmit Event
onsubmit is an event that occurs when you try to submit a form. You can put your form
validation against this event type.
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.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<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>
</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>

JavaScript - Page Redirection
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.
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.
How Page Re-direction Works ?

The implementations of Page-Redirection are as follows.
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>
</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>
Example 2
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Output
You will be redirected to tutorialspoint.com main page in 10 seconds!
Example
The following example shows how to redirect your site visitors onto a
different page based on their browsers.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript - Dialog Boxes

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 entering 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.
<html>
<head>

</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>
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: 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.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="getConfirmation();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
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.
The following example shows how to use a prompt dialog box −
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="getValue();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript - Page Printing

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.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="window.print()" />
</form>
</body>
<html>
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.
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");
JavaScript Native Objects

JavaScript has several built-in or native objects. These objects are accessible
anywhere in your program and will work the same way in any browser running in any
operating system.
Here is the list of all important JavaScript Native Objects −
• JavaScript String Object
• JavaScript Array Object
• JavaScript Date Object

• JavaScript Math Object
• JavaScript RegExp Object
JavaScript - The Number Object

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).
JavaScript - The Strings Object

The String object lets you work with a series of characters; it wraps
Javascript's string primitive data type with a number of helper methods.
As JavaScript automatically converts between string primitives and String

objects, you can call any of the helper methods of the String object on a
string primitive.
Syntax
Use the following syntax to create a String object −
var val = new String(string);
The String parameter is a series of characters that has been properly

encoded.
String Methods
Here is a list of the methods available in String object along with their description.
Method Description
charAt() Returns the character at the specified index.
charCodeAt() Returns a number indicating the Unicode value of the

character at the given index.
concat() Combines the text of two strings and returns a new

string.
indexOf() Returns the index within the calling String object of the
first occurrence of the specified value, or -1 if not
found.
lastIndexOf() Returns the index within the calling String object of the
last occurrence of the specified value, or -1 if not
found.
localeCompare() Returns a number indicating whether a reference string

comes before or after or is the same as the given
string in sort order.
match() Used to match a regular expression against a string.
replace() Used to find a match between a regular expression and

a string, and to replace the matched substring with a
new substring.
search() Executes the search for a match between a regular

expression and a specified string.
slice() Extracts a section of a string and returns a new string.
split() Splits a String object into an array of strings by

separating the string into substrings.
substr() Returns the characters in a string beginning at the

specified location through the specified number of
characters.
substring() Returns the characters in a string between two indexes

into the string.
toLocaleLowerCase() The characters within a string are converted to lower

case while respecting the current locale.
toLocaleUpperCase() The characters within a string are converted to upper

case while respecting the current locale.
toLowerCase() Returns the calling string value converted to lower

case.
toString() Returns a string representing the specified object.
toUpperCase() Returns the calling string value converted to

uppercase.
valueOf() Returns the primitive value of the specified object.
Arrays Object
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 Methods
Here is a list of the methods of the Array object along with their description.
Method Description
concat() Returns a new array comprised of this array joined with other
array(s) and/or value(s).
every() Returns true if every element in this array satisfies the

provided testing function.
filter() Creates a new array with all of the elements of this array for
which the provided filtering function returns true.
forEach() Calls a function for each element in the array.
indexOf() Returns the first (least) index of an element within the array
equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found.
join() Joins all elements of an array into a string.
lastIndexOf() Returns the last (greatest) index of an element within the

array equal to the specified value, or -1 if none is found.
map() Creates a new array with the results of calling a provided

function on every element in this array.
pop() Removes the last element from an array and returns that
element.
push() Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns
the new length of the array.
reduce() Apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array

(from left-to-right) as to reduce it to a single value.
reduceRight() Apply a function simultaneously against two values of the array

(from right-to-left) as to reduce it to a single value.
reverse() Reverses the order of the elements of an array -- the first

becomes the last, and the last becomes the first.
shift() Removes the first element from an array and returns that
element.
slice() Extracts a section of an array and returns a new array.
some() Returns true if at least one element in this array satisfies the
provided testing function.
toSource() Represents the source code of an object
sort() Sorts the elements of an array
splice() Adds and/or removes elements from an array.
toString() Returns a string representing the array and its elements.
unshift() Adds one or more elements to the front of an array and

returns the new length of the array.
In the following sections, we will have a few examples to demonstrate the

usage of Array methods.
The Date Object

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.
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:
• 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.
• month − Integer value representing the month, beginning with 0 for

January to 11 for December.
• date − Integer value representing the day of the month.
• hour − Integer value representing the hour of the day (24-hour scale).
• minute − Integer value representing the minute segment of a time

reading.
• second − Integer value representing the second segment of a time

reading.
• millisecond − Integer value representing the millisecond segment of a

time reading.
Date Methods
Here is a list of the methods used with Date and their description.
Method Description
Date() Returns today's date and time
getDate() Returns the day of the month for the specified date
according to local time.
getDay() Returns the day of the week for the specified date
getFullYear() Returns the year of the specified date according to

local time.
getHours() Returns the hour in the specified date according to

local time.
getMilliseconds() Returns the milliseconds in the specified date

getMinutes() Returns the minutes in the specified date according to

local time.
getMonth() Returns the month in the specified date according to

local time.
getSeconds() Returns the seconds in the specified date according to

local time.
getTime() Returns the numeric value of the specified date as the

number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970,
00:00:00 UTC.
getYear() Deprecated - Returns the year in the specified date

according to local time. Use getFullYear instead.
setDate() Sets the day of the month for a specified date

setFullYear() Sets the full year for a specified date according to local
time.
setHours() Sets the hours for a specified date according to local

time.
setMilliseconds() Sets the milliseconds for a specified date according to

local time.
setMinutes() Sets the minutes for a specified date according to local

time.
setMonth() Sets the month for a specified date according to local

time.
setSeconds() Sets the seconds for a specified date according to local

time.
setTime() Sets the Date object to the time represented by a

number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970,
00:00:00 UTC.
setYear() Deprecated - Sets the year for a specified date

according to local time. Use setFullYear instead.
toDateString() Returns the "date" portion of the Date as a human-

readable string.
toString() Returns a string representing the specified Date object.
toTimeString() Returns the "time" portion of the Date as a human-

readable string.
Converts a date to a string, using the universal time convention.
The Math Object

The math object provides you properties and methods for mathematical constants and
functions. Unlike other global objects, Math is not a constructor. All the properties and
methods of Math are static and can be called by using Math as an object without
creating it.
Thus, you refer to the constant pi as Math.PI and you call the sine function

as Math.sin(x), where x is the method's argument.
Syntax
The syntax to call the properties and methods of Math are as follows
var pi_val = Math.PI;
var sine_val = Math.sin(30);
In the following sections, we will have a few examples to demonstrate the usage of
Math properties.
Math Methods
Here is a list of the methods associated with Math object and their description
Method Description
abs() Returns the absolute value of a number.
acos() Returns the arccosine (in radians) of a number.
asin() Returns the arcsine (in radians) of a number.
atan() Returns the arctangent (in radians) of a number.
atan2() Returns the arctangent of the quotient of its arguments.
ceil() Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a number.
cos() Returns the cosine of a number.
exp() Returns EN, where N is the argument, and E is Euler's constant,

the base of the natural logarithm.
floor() Returns the largest integer less than or equal to a number.
log() Returns the natural logarithm (base E) of a number.
max() Returns the largest of zero or more numbers.
min() Returns the smallest of zero or more numbers.
pow() Returns base to the exponent power, that is, base exponent.
random() Returns a pseudo-random number between 0 and 1.
round() Returns the value of a number rounded to the nearest integer.
sin() Returns the sine of a number.
sqrt() Returns the square root of a number.
tan() Returns the tangent of a number.

In the following sections, we will have a few examples to demonstrate the usage of the
methods associated with Math.
Regular Expressions and RegExp Object

A regular expression is an object that describes a pattern of characters. The
JavaScript RegExp class represents regular expressions, and both String
and RegExp define methods that use regular expressions to perform powerful pattern-
matching and search-and-replace functions on text.
Syntax
A regular expression could be defined with the RegExp () constructor, as follows −
var pattern = new RegExp(pattern, attributes);
or simply
var pattern = /pattern/attributes;
Here is the description of the parameters −
• pattern − A string that specifies the pattern of the regular expression or

another regular expression.
• attributes − An optional string containing any of the "g", "i", and "m" attributes
that specify global, case-insensitive, and multiline matches, respectively.
Brackets
Brackets ([]) have a special meaning when used in the context of regular expressions.
They are used to find a range of characters.
Expression Description
[...] Any one character between the brackets.
[^...] Any one character not between the brackets.

[0-9] It matches any decimal digit from 0 through 9.
[a-z] It matches any character from lowercase a through lowercase z.
[A-Z] It matches any character from uppercase A through uppercase Z.
[a-Z] It matches any character from lowercase a through uppercase Z.
The ranges shown above are general; you could also use the range [0-3] to match any
decimal digit ranging from 0 through 3, or the range [b-v] to match any lowercase
character ranging from b through v.
Literal characters
Character Description
Alphanumeric Itself
\0 The NUL character (\u0000)
\t Tab (\u0009)
\n Newline (\u000A)
\v Vertical tab (\u000B)
\f Form feed (\u000C)
\r Carriage return (\u000D)
JavaScript - Errors & Exceptions Handling

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>
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 exceptions, occur during execution (after
compilation/interpretation).
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>
Exceptions also affect the thread in which they occur, allowing other JavaScript threads
to continue normal execution.
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>
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 finallyblock executes
unconditionally after try/catch.
Examples
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>
</head>
<body>
<p>Click the following to see the result:</p>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="myFunc();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now let us try to catch this exception using try...catch and display a user-friendly

message. You can also suppress this message, if you want to hide this error from a
user.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Output
You can use finally block which will always execute unconditionally after the try/catch.
Here is an example.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The throw Statement

You can use 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.
The following example demonstrates how to use a throw statement.
<html>
<head>

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
</form>
</body>
</html>
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.
JavaScript - Form Validation

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.
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>
</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>
<td><input type="text" name="Name" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">EMail</td>
<td><input type="text" name="EMail" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Zip Code</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Zip" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Country</td>
<td>
<select name="Country">
<option value="-1" selected>[choose yours]</option>
<option value="1">USA</option>
<option value="2">UK</option>
<option value="3">INDIA</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
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>
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.
Try the following code for email validation.

</script>
<script>
function validate(){
var fname=document.f1.fname.value;
var lname=document.f1.lname.value;
var status=false;
if(fname=="")
document.getElementById('fnamenote').innerHTML="please enter u r first name";
document.getElementById('fnamenote').style.fontSize=30px;
status=false;
else
status=true;
if(lname=="")
document.getElementById('lnamenote').innerHTML="please enter u r last name";
status=false;
else
status=true;
return status;
}
</script>
<form name="f1" onsubmit="return validate()" method="post" action="abc.html">
<input type='text' name="fname"/>
<p id="fnamenote" style="color:red"></p>
<input type='text' name="lname"/>
<p id="lnamenote" style="color:red"></p>
<input type='submit' value='Check Field' />
</form>

What is Java Script?

to JavaScript, possibly because of the excitement being generated by Java. JavaScript

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

The script tag takes two important attributes −

• Type − This attribute is what is now recommended to indicate the scripting

So your JavaScript segment will look like −

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

First JavaScript Script

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

This code will produce the following result −

Whitespace and Line Breaks

Semicolons are Optional

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var1 = 10; var2 = 20;

So the identifiers Time and TIME will convey different meanings in JavaScript.

• JavaScript also recognizes the HTML comment opening sequence <!--.

• The HTML comment closing sequence --> is not recognized by JavaScript so it

The following example shows how to use comments in 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

JavaScript - Placement in HTML File

• 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

JavaScript in <head>...</head> section
