General Rules JS is case sensitive. JS is case sensitive. Sum = n1 + n2; // These statements are different sum = N1 + N2; Sum = n1 + n2; // These statements are different sum = N1 + N2; All JS variables are of variant type (not specific) All JS variables are of variant type (not specific) Variables may be declared, or not Variables may be declared, or not var num1 = 5 var str1 = “hello” num2 = 6 str2 = “Goodbye” var num1 = 5 var str1 = “hello” num2 = 6 str2 = “Goodbye” Comments Comments // This form is for short comments to end of line // This form is for short comments to end of line /* This form of delimiters can span several lines of comments. */ /* This form of delimiters can span several lines of comments. */
20
Variables firstName = "Maria"; // String value lastName = "Martinez"; // " myMotto = "Be Prepared"; // " myAge = 21; // integer value priceOfBook = 27.25; // float value priceOfCD = 18.50; // "
21
Operators // concatenation operator fulName = firstName + " " + lastName; // arithmetic operator totalPrice = priceOfBook + priceOfCD; // arithmetic operator ageOfMyBrother = myAge - 2;
22
Pre-defined Functions // current date and time today = new Date(); // year value (integer) of today year = today.getYear(); // pop up a window displaying alert("Welcome to Honolulu"); // prints string to the current page document.write("Hello."). document.writeln(" Good-bye");
23
User-defined Functions function greet() { alert("Welcome to Hawaii."); } function greetWithName(name) { alert("Welcome to Hawaii, " + name); } function changeBackColor(someColor) { alert("Here is a new background color."); document.bgColor = someColor; }

Event Works with When onblur A, AREA, BUTTON, INPUT, LABEL, SELECT, TEXTAREA the mouse leaves an element which was in focus onload BODY, FRAMESET a page is loaded into the browser ondblclick Same as ONCLICK an element is double-clicked onmouseover Same as ONCLICK mouse is moved over the element onmouseout Same as ONCLICK mouse is moved out of the element's area

Open/Close New Window To Open a new window: To Open a new window: myWindow = window.open(http://www.mydomain.com”, “nameOfMyWindow”); myWindow = window.open(http://www.mydomain.com”, “nameOfMyWindow”); To Close a window: To Close a window: nameOfMyWindow.close(); or (for active window) nameOfMyWindow.close(); or (for active window) window.close(); window.close();

Customizing Window OptionExplanation toolbar = yes | noAdd /remove browser toolbar location = yes | noAdd/ remove browser location field directories = yes | noAdd/ remove browser directories field status = yes | noAdd/ remove browser status field menubar = yes | noAdd/ remove browser menubar scrollbar = yes | noAdd/remove browser scrollbar resizable = yes | noAllow new window to be resizable width = valueSet window width in pixels height = valueSet window height in pixels

New Window--Example pageURL=http://www.chaminade.edu; windowName=“myPopupWindow”; pageURL=http://www.chaminade.edu; windowName=“myPopupWindow”; settings= "toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,"+ "status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,"+ "resizable=yes,width=600,height=300"; myNewWindow= window.open(pageURL, windowName, settings); (Note: no space between settings)http://www.chaminade.edu
