This document discusses using JavaScript in HTML documents. It explains that JavaScript can be used to add interactivity to websites through functions like pop-up boxes or dropdown menus. JavaScript code can be included externally in .js files or internally within <script> tags. Event handlers are functions that are triggered by HTML events like mouse clicks, and are used to define interactive behavior.

HTML Javascript
Dr. Fareed Ahmed Jokhio
HTML Javascript
• A script is a small piece of program that can
add interactivity to your website.
• For example, a script could generate a pop-up
alert box message, or provide a dropdown
menu.
• This script could be written using Javascript or
VBScript.
HTML Javascript
• You can write various small functions, called
event handlers, using any of the scripting
language and then you can trigger those
functions using HTML attributes.
HTML Javascript
• Now a days only Javascript and associated
frameworks are being used by most of the
web developers, VBScript is not even
supported by various major browsers.
HTML Javascript
• You can keep Javascript code in a separate file
and then include it whereever it’s needed, or
you can define functionality inside HTML
document itself.
• Let's see both the cases one by one with
suitable examples.
External Javascript
• If you are going to define a functionality which
will be used in various HTML documents then
it’s better to keep that functionality in a
separate Javascript file and then include that
file in your HTML documents.
• A Javascript file will have extension as .js and
it will be included in HTML files using <script>
tag.
External Javascript
• Consider we define a small function using
Javascript in [Link] which has following code:
• function Hello()
• {
• alert("Hello, World");
• }
• Now let's make use of the above external
Javascript file in our following HTML document:
External Javascript
• <html>
• <head>
• <title>Javascript External Script</title>
• <script src="/html/[Link]" type="text/javascript"/></script>
• </head>
• <body>
• <input type="button" onclick="Hello();" name="ok"
value="Click Me" />
• </body>
• </html>
External Javascript
• This will produce following result.
• When you will click the button, you will get
the following result.
Internal Script
• You can write your script code directly into
your HTML document.
• Usually we keep script code in header of the
document using <script> tag, otherwise there
is no restriction and you can put your source
code anywhere in the document but inside
<script> tag.
Internal Script
• <html>
• <head>
• <title>Javascript Internal Script</title>
• <base href="[Link] />
• <script type="text/javascript">
• function Hello(){
• alert("Hello, World");
• }
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>
• <input type="button" onclick="Hello();" name="ok" value="Click Me" />
• </body>
• </html>
Internal Script
• This will produce following result.
• When you will click the button, you will get
the following result.
Event Handlers
• Event handlers are nothing but simply defined
functions which can be called against any
mouse or keyboard event.
• You can define your business logic inside your
event handler which can vary from a single to
1000s of line code.
Event Handlers
• Following example explains how to write an
event handler.
• Let's write one simple function EventHandler()
in the header of the document.
• We will call this function when any user brings
mouse over a paragraph.
Event Handlers
• <html>
• <head>
• <title>Event Handlers Example</title>
• <base href="[Link] />
• <script type="text/javascript">
• function EventHandler(){
• alert("I'm event handler!!");
• }
• </script>
• </head>
• <body>
• <p onmouseover="EventHandler();">Bring your mouse here to see an alert</p>
• </body>
• </html>
Event Handlers
• Now this will produce following result.
• When you will bring your mouse over this line,
you will see the following result.
Hide Scripts from Older Browsers
• Although most (if not all) browsers these days
support Javascript, but still some older
browsers don't.
• If a browser doesn't support JavaScript,
instead of running your script, it would display
the code to the user.
• To prevent this, you can simply place HTML
comments around the script as shown below.
Hide Scripts from Older Browsers
• JavaScript Example:
• <script type="text/javascript">
• <!--
• [Link]("Hello Javascript!");
• //-->
• </script>
The <noscript> Element
• You can also provide alternative info to the
users whose browsers don't support scripts
and for those users who have disabled script
option their browsers.
• You can do this using the <noscript> tag.
The <noscript> Element
• JavaScript Example:
• <script type="text/javascript">
• <!--
• [Link]("Hello Javascript!");
• //-->
• </script>
• <noscript>Your browser does not support
Javascript!</noscript>
