JavaScript

Ø JavaScript vs. JScript:
§ Jscript Homepage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/default.htm
§ JavaScript Homepage: http://developer.netscape.com/tech/javascript/index.html

ØJavaScript Built-in Data Types:
§ Boolean (true or false)
§ Null
§ Number ( double-precision 64-bit format)
§ Object (encompassing the Array object)
§ String
§ Undefined

Ø JavaScript Built-in Objects:

Array1 Boolean Date Error2
EvalError2 Function1 Math Number1
Object1 RangeError2 ReferenceError2 RegExp 3

String1 SyntaxError2 TypeError2 URIError2
(1) ECMA Level 1 (2) ECMA Level 2 (3) ECMA Level 3

JavaScript Built-in Objects

Ø String Object:
§ Properties:
• constructor length prototype

§ Methods:
• charAt( index ) charCodeAt([index]) concat( string2)
indexOf( SearchString, StartIndex ) lastIndexOf( searchString, StartIndex ) localeCompare( string2 )
match( regExpression ) replace( regExpression, replaceString) slice( startIndex, endIndex )
split( “delimiterCharacter”, limitInteger ) substr( start, length ) substring( indexA, indexB )
toLocaleLowerCase( ) toLocaleUpperCase( ) toLowerCase( )
toUpperCase() toString() valueOf()

§ Formatting methods:
• anchor( “anchorName”), blink( ) bold( )
fixed() fontcolor(colorValue) fontsize( integer1-7)
italics() link( locationOrURL) big()
small() strike() sub(), sup()

§ Special inline characters:
• ” Double quote ’ Single quote Blackslash
b Backspace t tab n new line
r Carriage return f form feed

JavaScript Control Structures
Ø If… Else: var boolChecked = new Boolean( true );
if( boolChecked.valueof( ) ){
}
Ø for Loops: var nIndex, nCount = 10;
for( var nIndex= 0; nIndex < nCount ; nIndex++ ) {
// statements
}
Ø while Loops: var nIndex, nCount = 10;
while( nIndex < nCount ) {
// statements
nIndex++;
}
Ø do-while Loops: var nIndex, nCount = 10;
do{
// statements
nIndex++;
} while(nIndex < nCount )
Ø with Statement: function seeColor( form )
with( form.colorsList ){
newColor = (options[selectedIndex].text);
}
}
Øswitch Statement: switch( nPrice ){
case 10: // statements
break;
case 20: // statements
break;
default: // statements 7
}

JavaScript Operators
Ø Comparison Operators:
== , != , === (strictly equals), !== (strictly does not equal), > , >=, < , <=

Ø Connubial Operators:
+, -, *, /, % (module), ++, --, +value, -value

Ø Assignment Operators:
=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=, <<=, >=, >>=, >>>=, &=, |=, ^=

Ø Boolean Operators:
&&, ||, !

Ø Bitwise Operators:
&, |, ^, ~, <<, >>, >>>

Ø Object Operators:
delete, in, instanceof, new, this

Ø Other Operators:
typeof, void

JavaScript Global Functions and Statements
Ø Global Functions:
§ decodeURI( “encodedURI” )
§ decodeURIComponent(“encodedURIComponent” )
§ encodeURI( “URIString” )
§ encodeURIComponent( “URIComponentString” )
§ escape( “URIString” )
§ unescape( “escapedURIString” )
§ eval( “string” ) // evaluate any JavaScript statement or expression stored as string
§ isFinite( number ) // checks if number is beyond JavaScript ability to handle
§ isNan( expression ) // tests whether a value is a number or not
§ Number( “string” ) // converts a string to a numeric value
§ parseFloat( “string” ) // converts a string to a float
§ parseInt( “string” , radix ) // converts a string to an integer
§ toString( ) // returns a string representation
§ unwatch( ) // for debugging purposes
§ watch( ) // for debugging purposes

Ø Statements:
§ const // e.g. const FREEZING_F = 32;
§ var // e.g.: var temperature = 32;
§ // comments
