Felitaur Enterprises, Javascript Resources

Main Javascript Page Javascript Examples Javascript was introduced by Netscape at the latter part of 1995, after Sun Microsystems released the JAVA programming language. People tend to confuse the two languages, when in reality their only similarities are that they both start with J A V A and the basic similarities that all programming languages have to each other.

This page has some examples of what you can do with Javascript, along with various resources. Most of it seems like you're just adding a 'toy' to a page, and nothing useful, but can be quite useful in validating forms with javascript. This allows some error checking to be done on the client side, giving your web server a little less work to do.

Javascript is one of the components involved in Dynamic HTML (see HTML Guru for an extreme example ;) which includes:

Dynamic HTML Component Survey
Netscape	MS IE	Standard?
HTML	HTML	Yes
CSS	CSS	Yes
DOM	DOM	Not in present browsers, but Soon (version 6?)
EMCA-262 (Javascript)	EMCA-262 (Javascript)	(In recent 4.5+ browers)
Java	Java	Yes (MS not supporting newer versions?)
Layer Tag	CSS Positioning	No (Netscape 6 uses CSS Positioning, finally)
Javascript Style Sheets	VBScript	No, and JSS is going goodbye
	DirectX etc. etc.	No

The DOM (Document Object Model) is the method used to give names to every part of the browser so it can be manipulated by javascript.
W3C DOM
Web Developers DOM
