JavaScript
 Introduction
• There is variety of scripting languages used to develop dynamic
websites.
• JavaScript is an interpreted scripting language.

• An interpreted language is a type of programming language that executes its

instructions directly and freely without compiling machine language
instructions in precious program.

• The programs in this language are called scripts.

 Introduction
• Program is a set of instructions used to produce
various kinds of outputs.

• JavaScript was initially created to "make webpages alive".

 Features of JavaScript :
• JavaScript is light weight scripting language because it does
not support all features of object oriented programming languages.
• No need of special software to run JavaScript programs

• JavaScript is object oriented scripting language and it

supports event based programming facility. It is case sensitive
language.
• JavaScript helps the browser to perform input validation
without wasting the user's time by the Web server access.
 Features of JavaScript :
• It can handle date and time very effectively.
• Most of the JavaScript control statements syntax is same
as syntax of control statements in other programming languages.
• An important part of JavaScript is the ability to create
new functions within scripts. Declare a function in JavaScript
using function keyword.

• Software that can run on any hardware platform (PC,

Mac, SunSparc etc.) or software platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS
etc.) is called as platform independent software.

• JavaScript is platform independent scripting language. Any

JavaScript-enabled browser can understand and interpreted
JavaScript code. Due to different features, JavaScript is known as
universal client side scripting language.
 There are two types of scripting

Client-side Scripting : In this type, the script resides on

client computer (browser) and that can run on the client.
Basically, these types of scripts are placed inside an
HTML document.

Server-side Scripting : In this type, the script resides on

web server. To execute the script it must be activated by
client then it is executed on web server.
 Server-side Scripting Client-side Scripting
Server-side scripting is used at the On the other hand, client side scripting is
backend, where the source code is used at the frontend which users can see
not visible or hidden at the client side from the browser
(browser).
Server-side scripting is more secure. Client-side scripting is less secure than server
side.

programming languages such as PHP, ASP.net, The client-side scripting language involves

Server-side scripting is useful in customizing The clientside scripts are generally used

Switch Case statement

• JavaScript has a built–in multiway decision statement

known as Switch.

• The switch statement test the value of given

expression against aClick

text values and when
match is found, a block of statement associated
with that case is executed.

• There should not be duplicity between the cases.

 Switch Case statement

• The value for the case must be similar data type as the
variable in switch.

• The default statement

 Switch Case statement
• Syntax :
• switch(expression)
• {
• case value1:
• statement block 1;
• break;
• case value2: Click to add text
• statement block 2;
• break;
• …………....
• case value n:
• statement block n;
• break;
• default:
• statement block ;
• }
 Output :

 Looping Statement

• While creating programming logic, we need to execute

some statements repeatedly.

• Iteration refers to the execution of statement or a group of

statements of codeClick
fortoa add text
fixed number of times or till the
condition is satisfied.

• The condition should be Boolean condition.

Some commonly used JavaScript
looping statements are:
1. For…….loop
2. While...loop
Click to add text
Some commonly used JavaScript
looping statements are:
1. for…….loop
• This loop executes statements as long as condition becomes true,
control comes out from
Click tothe
addloop
text when condition becomes false.

• Benefit of for-loop is that it combines initialization, condition and

loop iteration (increment or decrement) in single statement.
 Syntax :
for(initialization; condition; iteration)
{
statement block;
}
• Initialization is assigning initial value to the variable, which
executes only once, and then the condition is checked.

• Loop will execute statements in statement block till the

condition is true.

• When condition becomes false control is transferred out of

the loop and it will execute remaining program.
• Iteration means increment or decrement value of
a running variable.
Example :

Click to add text

Some commonly used JavaScript
looping statements are:
2. While…..loop
• This loop executes statements as long as the condition is
true. Click to add text

• As soon as condition becomes false control comes out of

the loop.
 Syntax:
initialization;
while(condition)
{
statement block;
}
• The statement within the loop may be a single line or a block of
statements.

• If the statement within loop is a single line then the curly parenthesis
is optional.
• Here loop will be executed repeatedly as long as the condition is true.
 • Note that if condition always true then loop would be
executed infinitely so after some execution condition
becomes false.

Example :
Program for loop :
Output :

Click to add text

Break and continue statements
• Break statement is used to jump out of loop. It is used to
make an early exit from a loop.
• When keyword break is encountered inside the
loop, control automatically
Click to addpasses
text to the next
statement after the loop.
• Sometimes in looping it may be necessary to skip
statement block and take the control at the beginning for
next iteration
• This is done by using ‘continue’ statement in JavaScript.
Program :

Objects in JavaScript
• JavaScript is an object based scripting language. Almost
everything is an object in JavaScript.
• A JavaScript object is an entity having state (properties) and
behavior (methods).Click to add text
• An object can group data together with functions needed
to manipulate it.
• Such as table, board, television, bicycle, shop, bus, car,
monitor etc.

• Look around you, you will find many examples of real

world objects.
 Objects in JavaScript
• All these tangible things are known as objects.

• Take an example of car object. It has properties

like name, model, weight, color etc. and methods
like start, stop etc.
• All cars have same properties but contain different values
from car to car.
• All cars have same methods but perform differently.
 Objects in JavaScript
• Properties and methods of object's are accessed with '.'
operator.

• JavaScript supports 2 types of objects built-in

objects and user defined objects.
Objects in JavaScript
 Objects in JavaScript
1. Built in objects such as Math, String, Array, Date etc.

2. JavaScript gives facility to create user defined

objects as per user requirements. The ‘new’ keyword
is used to create new object in JavaScript.

e.g. d= new Date(); // ‘d’ is new instance created for

Date object
 DOM (Document Object Model) :
• When HTML document is loaded into a web browser, it
becomes a document object.

• It defines logical structure of document.

• The way in which HTML document content is accessed
and modified is called as Document Object Model.

• It is programming interface for HTML and XML (Extensible

Markup Language) documents.
 DOM (Document Object Model) :
• The standardization of DOM was founded by W3C (World Wide
Web Consortium) which works for standardization of web
technologies.

According to W3C :

• "The W3C Document Object Model (DOM) is a platform and

language-neutral interface that allows programs and scripts to
dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of
a document."
Following diagram shows hierarchy of
DOM object:
Following are some of the
predefined methods and
properties for DOM object.
 The innerHTML Property
• The innerHTML property is useful for getting html
element and changing its content.

• The innerHTML property can be used to get or change any

HTML element, including and .

 Window Object :
• At the very top of the object hierarchy is the window
object.
• Window object is parent object of all other objects

• It represents an open window in a browser

• An object of window is created automatically by the
browser
Following table shows some of the methods
and properties for window object.

 JavaScript Event
• Events are actions done by the user or an
application that occurs on the webpage.

• In previous year we studied different keyboard events

(onKeypress, onKeydown, onkeyup) and mouse events
(onClick, onMousemove, onMouseout, onMouseover).
• Similarly there are some more events used with form
objects.
Input and other object Events:
 JavaScript Built-in Objects
• JavaScript has several built-in or core language
objects.

• These built-in objects are available regardless of window

content and operates independently of whatever page
browser has loaded.
• These objects provide different properties and methods
that are useful while creating live web pages.
 String Object :
• String is used to store zero or more characters of
text within single or double quotes

• String object is used to store and manipulate text.

String Object :
 String Object :

Example :
var str="Information Technology";
document.write ("length of string is :-" + str.length);
document.write ("Substring is :-" + str.substr (12,10));

• String object is used to store and manipulate text.

 Math Object :
• The built-in Math object includes mathematical
constants and functions.

• You do not need to create the Math object before using

it.
Following table contains list of math object methods: e.g. var
x=56.899; alert(Math.ceil(x));
 Date Object :
• The date object is used to create date and time values.
• It is created using new keyword.
• There are different ways to create new date object.

1. var currentdate=new Date();

2. var currentdate=new Date(milliseconds);
3. var currentdate=new Date(dateString);
4. var currentdate=new Date(year, month, day, hours, minute, seconds, milliseconds);

Array Object :
 Array Object :
• An array is an object that can store a collection of items.

• JavaScript arrays are used to store multiple values in single

variable.
• An array is a special variable which can hold more than one value
at a time.

• Arrays become really useful when you need to store large

amounts of data of the same type
 Array Object :
• You can create an array in JavaScript as given below.

• var days=["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday",

"Saturday", "Sunday"];
OR
• var fruits=new Array("Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday");

• You can access and set the items in an array by referring to its
indexnumber and the index of the first element of an array is zero.
 Array Object :
• arrayname[0] is the first element, arrayname[1] is second element
and so on.

• e.g. var fruitname=fruits[0];

document.getElementById("demo").inner HTML=fruits[1];
