Using JavaScript

Overview

At this point in the course, we don't want to fill your head with too much more JavaScript programming fundamentals, so it's time to jump out of fundamentals and jump into actual applications. There will be some new concepts introduced as we go along in our JavaScript adventure, but don't worry, we will explain anything new as it comes up.

Here is a summary of some of the topics in this lecture:

(1) Browser Re-direction and Detection

JavaScript can be used effectively to re-direct users according to whatever conditions you want. JavaScript can also detect quite nicely which browser you are using, as well as some other tidbits of information about the user.

(2) JavaScript and Images

This is probably one of the most popular uses for JavaScript on the Web. The all-too-familiar image swaps are kind of hard to miss in this day and age. We'll show you how to write a simpler, more effective image swap than your favourite WYSIWYG editor, and even some other neat image tricks.

(3) JavaScript and Windows

Window creation and manipulation is another long-time staple of JavaScript. We'll show you how JavaScript works with windows, and the different things you can do with windows.

(4) More Really Neat Trickery

This lecture will contain some of the odds and ends that aren't mentioned in the other lecture. Things such as moving windows, resizing windows, and other fun dynamic JavaScript uses.

(5) JavaScript and Forms

Forms are a very effective way of getting user input in an HTML document, but when combined with JavaScript, they become much, much more powerful. From validating forms to manipulating how they present their contents, we'll look at the world of JavaScript and forms.

(6) Cookies

Cookies are not as bad as some people would have you believe. In fact, they are quite useful. Cookies can give you a way of retaining information from one page to another, or even on subsequent visits to a page. We'll show you how to bake (write) your own cookies with some delicious recipes.
