</nowiki>
Identifying Edit
Javascript has many things different from the programing languages you may know, and may also have alot of similarities the main things in javascript (which would be a good way to identify if a code is javascript or not) are these:
- Javascript uses 'Values' not 'Variables' meaning it can change its value from a int (intiger) to text (string) as seen in this example
<nowiki> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var Varname = "10 "; document.write(Varname); var Varname = "Apples"; document.write(Varname); //--> </script></nowiki>
Witch would make a output "10 Apples"
- In seen in many programming languages Methods or Classes (as most commonly knowen from Java has been changed to Function's such as below
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
Function FunctionName () {
document.write("Fucntion Acvitivated");
}
//-->
</script>
To Activate the function the coder would type in "FunctionName();" or make a input button to activate it With HTML
<form> <input type="button" value="Click Me" onClick="FunctionName();"> </form>
