Description
"JavaScript in easy steps" instructs the user how to create exciting web pages that employ the power of JavaScript to provide functionality "JavaScript in easy steps" begins by explaining how to easily incorporate JavaScript code in an HTML document. Examples demonstrate how to use built-in JavaScript functions to work with Math, date and time, random numbers, cookies, text strings and components of document content. Readers will learn how to create effects, such as an automated slide show, learn how JavaScript is used with HTML submission forms and how to develop Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) using the latest techniques employing Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (AJAX). The book examples provide clear syntax-highlighted code showing how to create behaviors for an HTML document to endow components with interactive functionality, to illustrate each aspect of JavaScript. Readers need have no previous knowledge of any scripting language so it's ideal for the newcomer to JavaScript. By the end of this book the reader will have gained a sound understanding of JavaScript and be able to add exciting dynamic scripts to their own web pages.
