À propos de ce livre électronique

In this book you will learn how to write the JavaScript code. This language is used to control the web pages elements that are designed with HTML tags. You will discover the objects structure and their interaction inside the DOM (Document Object Model) that is represented by a tag tree. You will practice variables, conditional expressions and loops thanks to several workshops. You will study the methods that handle texts, numbers and dates. JavaScript enables you to manage events that occur in the web page, such as a mouse click or an exit from a field. The duo JavaScript/HTML has many assets that will help you to control your web pages better.

    Getting started with Javascript - Remy Lentzner

    dates

    Chapter 1

    Fundamentals

    This chapter recalls some HTML code examples and shows that JavaScript is closely linked to it, within the and tags. You will study how to write code inside simple functions that are triggered at a given moment. An HTML page is structured according to a document object pattern called DOM. The JavaScript language is object-oriented and is able to manage all the objects inside the Internet page, thanks to several specific expressions, such as methods and properties. JavaScript can also control the flow of the code using variables.

    1.1 The efficient JavaScript/HTML duo

    JavaScript is a programming language created in the 1990s to efficiently manipulate the information stored in a web page. When you want to create an Internet page, you use HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), that is a markup language designed to display data with any browsers. Under any circumstances, HTML cannot perform calculations or other complex operations. JavaScript will take care of this since it will be able to execute commands. When developing applications for the Internet, you work with HTML that helps you to create the structure of the web pages. The tags enable you to put the objects in place. For instance, you can create titles, text, images, links, input fields, headers, footers, logos, menus and many others.

    At the same time, CSS (Cascading Styles Sheets) is used to organize the data presentation. For example, you can set a page logo, right-aligned and wrapped with a border. Likewise, a specific font and a text size can be specified.

    The job of CSS language is essentially to manage the presentation.

    Finally, you will use JavaScript to create functions that perform operations above the objects. For example, you can make a calculation from different dates, find a result from numerical values, or manage web user actions when using the mouse or the keyboard.

    There is also the PHP language that is used to manage data in a client-server context. This language is preferred by programmers when information is sent to a server and when an answer is needed. It is also possible to use some derivative JavaScript language, that handles these client-server operations, but this kind of programming is complex and beyond the scope of this book.

    The HTML-CSS-JAVASCRIPT trio is often referred to as standard web language.

    If you don't know HTML-CSS at all, you should start by learning them. If you want to practise, you can purchase the book Getting started with HTML at www.remylent.fr.

    Creating Web pages is always an integration between HTML tags, CSS presentation commands and JavaScript functions.

    1.1.1 The Brackets editor helps to code

    With any text editor, you can write a web page that contains the HTML/JavaScript code. You type the code and you save the file, first with an .html extension, then with a .txt extension. Afterwards, you open your .html file with your browser. You will see the result immediately. To modify the code, reopen the .txt file. This solution is not practical at all because it forces you to open the .txt file to make a change, then you have to save the file again with .html and .txt extension.

    On other way (among many others) is to use the free Brackets Editor that I use for my program tests. This tool allows you to write the code, then you will see the result immediately, via the Live Preview option. If you change the code, simply refresh the web page in the browser to see the result. You can download Brackets for Mac at https://brackets.fr.uptodown.com/mac, but you can also download it for Windows or another operating system.

    The software Brackets always shows the result in the default browser. If you want to use another browser, simply change the default one.

    Not all browsers display the HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT code in the same way. And that is why we have difficulties to create web pages that work correctly on many software platforms as computers, tablets, mobiles, connected objects, etc). If you want to develop strong applications, your code will have to take these differences into account.

    1.1.2 A web page without JavaScript code

    Figure 1.1 shows an example of an HTML page that displays a list of choices. A menu offers to click on four links that call up another specific page.
