Embedding and including

Let's first see a simple example:  

< html >
< head >
< title > This is a JavaScript example </ title >
< script  language ="JavaScript" >
<!--
document.write(
" Hello World! " );
// -->

</ script >
</ head >
< body >  Hi, man!  </ body >
</ html >

Usually, JavaScript code starts with the tag <Script language="JavaScript"> and ends with the tag </script>. The code placed between <head> and </head>. Sometimes, people embed the code in the <body> tags:

< html >
< head ></ head >
< body >
< script >
JavaScript For Beginners(转载)..
//  The code embedded in the <body> tags.
</ script >
</ body >
</ html >

Why do we place JavaScript code inside comment fields <!-- and //--> ?
It's for ensuring that the Script is not displayed by old browsers that do not support JavaScript. This is optional, but considered good practice. The LANGUAGE attribute also is optional, but recommended. You may specify a particular version of JavaScript:  

< script  language ="JavaScript1.2" >

You can use another attribute SRC to include an external file containing JavaScript code: 

< script  language ="JavaScript"  src ="hello.js" ></ script >

For example, shown below is the code of the external file hello.js :

document.write("Hello World!")

The external file is simply a text file containing JavaScript code with the file name extension ".js".

Note:

  1. Including an external file only functions reliably across platforms n the version 4 browsers.
  2. The code can't include tags <script language...> and </script>, or you will get an error message.

write and writeln

In order to output text in JavaScript you must use write() or writeln(). Here's an example:

< HTML >
< HEAD >
< TITLE >  Welcome to my site </ TITLE ></ HEAD >
< BODY >
< SCRIPT  LANGUAGE ="JAVASCRIPT" >
<!--
document.write(
" Welcome to my site! " );
//  -->

</ SCRIPT >
</ BODY >
</ HTML >

Note: the document object write is in lowercase as JavaScript is case sensitive. The difference between write and writeln is: write just outputs a text, writeln outputs the text and a line break.


Document object

The document object is one of the most important objects of JavaScript. Shown below is a very simple JavaScript code:  

document.write("Hi there.")

In this code, document is the object. write is the method of this object. Let's have a look at some of the other methods that the document object possesses.

lastModified

You can always include the last update date on your page by using the following code:      
< script  language ="JavaScript" >
document.write(
" This page created by John N. Last update: "   +  document.lastModified);
</ script >  

All you need to do here is use the lastModified property of the document. Notice that we used + to put together This page created by John N. Last update: and document.write.

 

bgColor and fgColor

Lets try playing around with bgColor and fgColor
< script >
document.bgColor
= " black "
document.fgColor
= " #336699 "
</ script >  


Message Box

alert

There are three message boxes: alert, confirm, and prompt. Let's look at the first one:
 
 
< body >
< script >
window.alert(
" Welcome to my site! " )
</ script >

</ body >

You can put whatever you want inside the quotation marks.

 

confirm

An example for confirm box: 
window.confirm("Are you sure you want to quit?") 

prompt

Prompt box is used to allow a user to enter something according the promotion: 
 
window.prompt("please enter user name") 

In all our examples above, we wrote the box methods as window.alert(). Actually, we could simply write the following instead as:      
 
alert()
confirm()
prompt()


Variables and Conditions

Let's see an example:   

< script >
var  x = window.confirm( " Are you sure you want to quit " )if  (x)
    window.alert(
" Thank you. "
)
else

    window.alert(
" Good choice. " )
</ script >

There are several concepts that we should know. First of all, var x = is a variable declaration. If you want to create a variable, you must declare the variable using the var statement. x will get the result, namely, true or false . Then we use a condition statement if else to give the script the ability to choose between two paths, depending on this result (condition for the following action). If the result is true (the user clicked "ok"), "Thank you" appears in the window box. If the result is false (the user clicked "cancel"), "Good choice" appears in the window box instead. So we can make more complex boxes using var, if and those basic methods.

< script >
var  y = window.prompt( " please enter your name " )
window.alert(y)
</ script >

Another example:    

< html >< head >
< script >
var  x = confirm( " Are you sure you want to quit? " )
if  ( !
x)
    window.location
= " http://www.yahoo.com "

</ script >
</ head >
< body >
Welcome to my website!.
</ body ></ html >

If you click "cancel", it will take you to yahoo, and clicking ok will continue with the loading of the current page "Welcome to my website!". Note: if(!x) means: if click "cancel". In JavaScript, the exclamation mark !means: "none".


Function

Functions are chunks of code.Let's create a simple function: 

function test()
{
   document.write("Hello can you see me?")
}

Note that if only this were within your <script> </script> tags, you will not see "Hello can you see me?" on your screen because functions are not executed by themselves until you call upon them. So we should do something:   
  
 

function test()
{
   document.write("Hello can you see me?")
}
test() 

Last line test() calls the function, now you will see the words "Hello can you see me?".


Event handler

What are event handlers? They can be considered as triggers that execute JavaScript when something happens, such as click or move your mouse over a link, submit a form etc.

onClick

onClick handlers execute something only when users click on buttons, links, etc. Let's see an example:
< script >
function  ss()
{
alert(
" Thank you! "
)
}
</ script >

< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Click here"  onclick ="ss()" >
</ form >

The function ss() is invoked when the user clicks the button. Note: Event handlers are not added inside the <script> tags, but rather, inside the html tags.

onLoad

The onload event handler is used to call the execution of JavaScript after loading:   
< body  onload ="ss()" >
< frameset  onload ="ss()" >
< img  src ="whatever.gif"  onload ="ss()" >

onMouseover,onMouseout

These handlers are used exclusively with links.
< href ="#"  onMouseOver ="document.write('Hi, nice to see you!" > Over Here! </ a >
< href ="#"  onMouseOut ="alert('Good try!')" > Get Out Here! </ a >

onUnload

onUnload executes JavaScript while someone leaves the page. For example to thank users. 
< body  onunload ="alert('Thank you for visiting us. See you soon')" >

Handle multiple actions

How do you have an event handler call multiple functions/statements? That's simple. You just need to embed the functions inside the event handler as usual, but separate each of them using a semicolon: 
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Click here!"  onClick ="alert('Thanks for visiting my site!');window.location='http://www.yahoo.com'" >
</ form >
 


Form

Let's say you have a form like this:   

< form  name ="aa" >
< input  type ="text"  size ="10"  value =""  name ="bb" >< br >
< input  type ="button" value ="Click Here" onclick ="alert(document.aa.bb.value)" >
</ form >

Notice that we gave the names to the form and the element. So JavaScript can gain access to them.

onBlur

If you want to get information from users and want to check each element (ie: user name, password, email) individually, and alert the user to correct the wrong input before moving on, you can use onBlur. Let's see how onBlur works: 
< html >
<
head
>
<
script >

function  emailchk()
{
var  x =
document.feedback.email.value
if  (x.indexOf( " @ " ) ==- 1
)
{
    alert(
" It seems you entered an invalid email address. "
)
    document.feedback.email.focus()
}
}
</ script
>
</
head
>

< body >
< form
name ="feedback" >

Email:
< input  type ="text"  size ="20"  name ="email"
onblur
="emailchk()" >< br >
Comment: 
< textarea  name ="comment"  rows ="2"  cols ="20" ></ textarea >< br >
< input  type ="submit"  value ="Submit" >
</ form >
</ body >
</
html >

If you enter an email address without the @, you'll get an alert asking you to re-enter the data . What is: x.indexOf("@")==-1? This is a method that JavaScript can search every character within a string and look for what we want. If it finds it will return the position of the char within the string. If it doesn't, it will return -1. Therefore, x.indexOf("@")==-1basically means: "if the string doesn't include @, then: 
alert("It seems you entered an invalid email address.")
document.feedback.email.focus()

What's focus() ? This is a method of the text box, which basically forces the cursor to be at the specified text box. onsubmitUnlike onblur, onsubmit handler is inserted inside the <form> tag, and not inside any one element. Lets do an example:    
< script >
<!--
function  validate()
{
if (document.login.userName.value == ""
)
{
    alert (
" Please enter User Name "
)
    
return   false

}
if (document.login.password.value == "" )
{
    alert (
" Please enter Password "
)
    
return   false

}
}
// -->
</ script >

< form  name ="login"  onsubmit ="return validate()" >
< input  type ="text"  size ="20"  name ="userName" >
< input  type ="text"  size ="20"  name ="password" >
< input  type ="submit"  name ="submit"  value ="Submit" >
</ form >

Note:
if(document.login.userName.value=="").This means "If the box named userName of the form named login contains nothing, then...". return false. This is used to stop the form from submitting. By default, a form will return true if submitting. return validate() That means, "if submitting, then call the function validate() "

Protect a file by using Login

Let's try an example 
< html >< head >
< SCRIPT  Language ="JavaScript" >
function  checkLogin(x)
{
if  ((x.id.value  !=   " Sam " ) || (x.pass.value  != " Sam123 "
))
{
    alert(
" Invalid Login "
);
    
return   false
;
}
else

    location
= " main.htm "
}
</ script >

</ head >< body >
< form >
< p > UserID: < input  type ="text"  name ="id" ></ p >
< p > Password: < input  type ="password"  name ="pass" ></ p >
< p >< input  type ="button"  value ="Login"  onClick ="checkLogin(this.form)" ></ p >
</ form >
</ body ></ html >

|| means "or", and , != indicates "not equal". So we can explain the script: "If the id does not equal 'Sam', or the password does not equal 'Sam123', then show an alert ('Invalid Login') and stop submitting. Else, open the page 'main.htm'".
 

Link

In most cases, a form can be repaced by a link:   

< href ="JavaScript:window.location.reload()" > Click to reload! </ a >

More examples:        

< href ="#"  onClick ="alert('Hello, world!')" > Click me to say Hello </ a >< br >

< href ="#"  onMouseOver ="location='main.htm'" > Mouse over to see Main Page </ a >



Date

Let's see an example:

< HTML >< HEAD >< TITLE > Show
Date
</ TITLE ></ HEAD >

< BODY >
< SCRIPT  LANGUAGE ="JavaScript" >
var  x =   new  Date();
document.write (x);
</ SCRIPT >

</ BODY ></ HTML >

To activate a Date Object, you can do this: var x = new Date(). Whenever you want to create an instance of the date object, use this important word: new followed by the object name().

Dynamically display different pages

You can display different pages according to the different time. Here is an example: 
var banTime= new Date()
var ss=banTime.getHours()
if (ss
< =12
)
    document.write("<img src
='banner1.gif' >
")
else
    document.write("
< img  src ='banner2.gif' > ") 
 
Date object
Methods
getDate getTimegetTimezoneOffset getDaygetMonthgetYear getSecondsgetMinutesgetHours


Window

Open a window

To open a window, simply use the method "window.open()": 
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Click here to see"  onclick ="window.open('test.htm')" >
</ form >  
 
You can replace test.htm with any URL, for example, with http://www.yahoo.com

 

Size, toolbar, menubar, scrollbars, location, status

Let's add some of attributes to the above script to control the size of the window, and show: toolbar, scrollbars etc. The syntax to add attributes is:
open("URL","name","attributes")

For example: 
 
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Click here to see"
onclick
="window.open('page2.htm','win1','width=200,height=200,menubar')" >
</ form >  

Another example with no attributes turned on, except the size changed:   
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Click here to see"
onclick
="window.open('page2.htm','win1','width=200,height=200')" >
</ form >

Here is the complete list of attributes you can add:
width height toolbar
location directories status
scrollbars resizable menubar

Reload

To reload a window, use this method:           
   
window.location.reload()

Close Window

Your can use one of the codes shown below: 
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Close Window"  onClick ="window.close()" >
</ form >
< href ="javascript:window.close()" > Close Window </ a >
 

Loading

The basic syntax when loading new content into a window is: 
 
window.location="test.htm"

This is the same as   
< href ="test.htm>Try this </a>

Let's provide an example, where a confirm box will allow users to choose between going to two places: 
< script >
<!--
function  ss()
{
var  ok = confirm('Click  " OK "  to go to yahoo,  " CANCEL "
 to go to hotmail')
if
 (ok)
location
= " http://www.yahoo.com "

else
location
= " http://www.hotmail.com "
}
// -->
</ script >
 

Remote Control Window

Let's say you have opened a new window from the current window. After that, you will wonder how to make a control between the two windows. To do this, we need to first give a name to the window.Look at below:
aa=window.open('test.htm','','width=200,height=200')

By giving this window a name "aa", it will give you access to anything that's inside this window from other windows. Whenever we want to access anything that's inside this newly opened window, for example, to write to this window, we would do this: aa.document.write("This is a test.").

Now, let's see an example of how to change the background color of another window: 

< html >< head >< title ></ title ></ head >
< body >
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Open another page"
onClick
="aa=window.open('test.htm','','width=200,height=200')" >
< input  type ="radio"  name ="x"  onClick ="aa.document.bgColor='red'" >
< input  type ="radio"  name ="x"  onClick ="aa.document.bgColor='green'" >
< input  type ="radio"  name ="x"  onClick ="aa.document.bgColor='yellow'" >
</ form >
</ body ></ html >

 

opener

Using "opener" property, we can access the main window from the newly opened window.

 

Let's create Main page:   

< html >
< head >
< title ></ title >
</ head >
< body >
< form >
< input  type ="button"  value ="Open another page"
onClick ="aa=window.open('test.htm','','width=100,height=200')" >
</ form >
</ body >
</ html >


Then create Remote control page (in this example, that is test.htm): 
 

< html >
< head >
< title ></ title >
< script >
function  remote(url){
window.opener.location
=
url
}
</ script >

</ head >
< body >
< p >< href ="#"  onClick ="remote('file1.htm')" > File1 </ a ></ p >
< p >< href ="#"  onClick ="remote('file2.htm')" > File2 </ a ></ p >
</ body >
</ html >


Try it now!


Frame

One of the most popular uses of loading multiple frames is to load and change the content of more than one frame at once. Lets say we have a parent frame: 

< html >
< frameset  cols ="150,*" >
< frame  src ="page1.htm"  name ="frame1" >
< frame  src ="page2.htm"  name ="frame2" >
</ frameset >
</ html >

We can add a link in the child frame "frame1" that will change the contents of not only page1, but page2 too. Shown below is the html code for it:   

< html >
< body >
< h2 > This is page 1  </ h2 >
< href ="page3.htm"
onClick
="parent.frame2.location='page4.htm'" > Click Here </ a >
</ body >
</ html >

Notice: You should use "parent.frame2.location" to access another frame. "parent" standards for the parent frame containing the frameset code.
