JavaScript by Example.

Computing & Information Services Department.
instructor: jim.cerny@unh.edu

Internet: JavaScript by Example.

Date to be announced.

Description:
This hands-on course assumes some familiarity with HTML, but no programming experience, using a cut-and-paste approach. Covers what JavaScript is, how it works with HTML, and sources of scripts. We will build mouse rollovers, pop-up windows, and verify form information.
Prerequisite: Experience coding HTML.
Instructor: Jim Cerny

JavaScript (JS) is a programming language that you can embed in the HTML of your Web pages. This course ignores the programming and shows how non-programmers can easily use existing JS from sources on the Web. Emphasis is on useful JS examples, rather than just show-off examples. An equivalent name for "JavaScript by Example" is "Copy-and-Paste JavaScript". We formerly called this "JavaScript in 3 Minutes," as an eye-catching title, in that non-hands-on presentation.

See the hands-on examples course packet.
A copy of the three-page handout from the lecture/demo version of the course presented on August 13, 1998, is still available both as HTML and as Adobe Acrobat (PDF icon).

Assorted examples.

These examples are updated on an occasional basis. Dates indicate changes since August 1998.

Assume that these examples require version 4.x or later of either the Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Explorer browsers, even though some may work with version 3.x of Explorer. These examples make use of a cascading style sheet (CSS), which you can view if you are curious!

Selected from the Web.
