JavaScript Guide



By Peter, Edited By Sasha



JavaScript is a code that can be put inside tags or embeded in an Html document. It is best that you already know HTML and hopefully CSS to fully understand this article. In this guide I will cover JavaScript in tags.

If you want to trigger JavaScript code, then you can put something like this:
<input type="button" onclick="javascript code to be executed" value="value" />

Here is a list of parameters you can use:


For Buttons and Anchors(links)
onclick="javascript code to be executed" This parameter executes the script
inside when you click on the button.
ondblclick="javascript code to be executed" This parameter executes the script
inside when you double click the button.

For Text Boxes and Text Areas

onfocus="javascript code to be executed" This parameter executes the script
inside when the text box becomes in focus.
onblur="javascript code to be executed" This parameter executes the script inside
when the text box's focus is taken away.

Buttons, Text Boxes, Anchors(links), Everything!

onmouseover="javascript code to be executed" This parameter executes the script
inside when your cursor moves over the element.
onmouseout="javascript code to be executed" This parameter executes the script inside when
your curser moves out from over the element.


You can change the value of an element by adding: this.value=('new element value');.
The innerHTML of an element is the text between the tags (e.g. <a href="">this is the innHTML</a>).
To change the innnerHTML of an element, add: this.innerHTML=('new innerHTML');.
