Chapter 14 A Brief Look at JavaScript
If a popup window mysteriously appears while you are surfing the Web, you’re experiencing the effects of JavaScript. JavaScript is a scripting language and JavaScript commands can be included in an XHTML file.
Using JavaScript, you can incorporate techniques and effects that will make your Web pages come alive! You can display an alert box containing an important message for your Web page visitor. You can display an image when a user moves the mouse pointer over a link, and much more. You don't have to be a programmer in order to be able to add a little sizzle to your Web pages. This chapter introduces JavaScript and some of its capabilities, and provides some samples that you can build on to create your own Web pages
