JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language developed by Netscape to enable Webmasters to design interactive sites. Although it shares many of the features and structures of the full Java language, it was developed independently. JavaScript enables Web developers to spice up their sites with active content. JavaScript is an open language that anyone can use without purchasing a license.

Here are a few instructions on how to use JavaScript.

  1. Find the JavaScript you would like to insert into your Web page.
  2. Use Internet Explorer's menu to View the HTML Source code.
  3. Find the Script tags.
  4. Read the code and look for Script /Script tags.
  5. Try the Edit menu, select Find and enter the word Script.
  6. Highlight the Script code and copy the code to your clipboard.
  7. Paste the code inside of your body tags (I usually paste it in front of the ending body tag).

The curser is one example of JavaScript. Other examples include the bouncing ball on my "Pictures" page, and the digital clock on the bottom of my home page.The link below is a web site where you can find JavaScript.
