JAVASCRIPT Tutorial

JS for Web Development

Practical Steps:..

  1. Understand the basics of HTML and CSS: These provide the structure and style for your web pages.
  2. Learn about the DOM (Document Object Model): This represents the content and structure of your webpage in a way that JavaScript can manipulate.
  3. Work with Events: These allow your web pages to respond to user actions, such as clicks or mouse movements.
  4. Use AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML): This allows you to dynamically update web page content without reloading the entire page.

Integrating JavaScript into Web Pages:

  1. Add a <script> tag to your HTML code, linking to the JavaScript file:
    <script src="my_script.js"></script>
    
  2. Use JavaScript to interact with HTML elements:
    document.getElementById("my_element").innerHTML = "Hello!";
    
  3. Create dynamic user interfaces using JavaScript events:
    document.getElementById("my_button").addEventListener("click", function() {
       alert("Button clicked!");
    });
    

Simple JavaScript Example:

This code adds a "Hello World!" message to a button that, when clicked, changes the text to "Clicked!":

<button id="my_button">Click Me</button>

<script>
   document.getElementById("my_button").addEventListener("click", function() {
      this.innerHTML = "Clicked!";
   });
</script>
