JavaScript summary


In this tutorial we teach you how to add JavaScript to html pages to make the website more dynamic and interactive.

You have learned how to create responses to events, validate forms, and how to run different scripts based on different situations.

You also learned how to create and use objects, and how to use JavaScript’s built-in objects.

For more information and knowledge about JavaScript, please see our JavaScript examples and JavaScript reference manual.


Now that you have learned JavaScript, what should you learn next?

The next step should be to learn HTML DOM and DHTML.

If you want to learn about server-side scripting, your next step should be to learn ASP, PHP, and .Net.

HTML DOM

HTML DOM defines standard methods for accessing and manipulating HTML documents. The HTML DOM is platform and language independent and can be used by any programming language such as Java, JavaScript and VBscript. If you want to learn more about the DOM, visit our HTML DOM tutorial.

jQuery

jQuery is a JavaScript library.

jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript programming.

jQuery is easy to learn.

AJAX

AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.

AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way of using existing standards.

By exchanging data with the server, AJAX can update certain parts of the web page without reloading the entire web page.

There are many application cases using AJAX: Sina Weibo, Google Maps, Kaixin.com, etc.

ASP / PHP / .NET

Unlike scripts in HTML documents that run on the client (browser), scripts in ASP/PHP files run on the server run.

Using ASP, you can dynamically edit, change or add website content, respond to data submitted by HTML forms, access data or databases and return results to the browser, or customize them for different users for a more helpful page.

Because ASP/PHP files return pure HTML, they can be displayed in any browser.
