JavaScript: Writing Into HTML Output


<html> <body> <p> JavaScript can write directly into the HTML output stream: </p>

<script> document.write("<h1>This is a heading</h1>"); document.write("<p>This is a paragraph.</p>"); </script>

<p> You can only use <strong>document.write</strong> in the HTML output. If you use it after the document has loaded (e.g. in a function), the whole document will be overwritten. </p> </body> </html> You can only use document.write in the HTML output. If you use it after the document has loaded, the whole document will be overwritten.

JavaScript: Reacting to Events


<html> <body> <h1>My First JavaScript</h1> <p> JavaScript can react to events. Like the click of a button: </p> <button type="button" onclick="alert('Welcome!')">Click Me!</button> </body> </html> Output:

My First JavaScript
JavaScript can react to events. Like the click of a button:
Click Me!

The alert() function is not much used in JavaScript, but it is often quite handy for trying out code. The onclick event is only one of the many HTML events you will learn about in this tutorial.

JavaScript: Changing HTML Content


Using JavaScript to manipulate the content of HTML elements is a very powerful functionality

<html> <body> <h1>My First JavaScript</h1>

<p id="demo"> JavaScript can change the content of an HTML element. </p>

<script> function myFunction() { x=document.getElementById("demo"); // Find the element x.innerHTML="Hello JavaScript!"; } </script> // Change the content

<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Click Me!</button>

</body> </html>

Output:::

My First JavaScript
Hello JavaScript!
Click Me!
