Controlling Program Flow in JavaScript
One of the key features of all good programming languages is the ability to control the order in which actions are performed. For instance, you may want to run one piece of code if the user has selected a checkbox, but run a different piece of code if they haven’t selected it. Or, you may want to run the same piece of code 10 times (for example, if you’re creating a drop-down list with 10 items).
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to write code to make decisions (e.g. “if the user has selected this checkbox, display this message”), and perform the same action many times (called “looping”).

Forms allow you to make your site interactive — your visitors can use the forms on your site for giving you feedback via email, navigating your site, posting messages and other content to your site, voting and polling, and almost anything else you can dream of!
In this tutorial, you start by looking at the HTML form element, the basic building block of Web forms. You then learn how to use disabled and read-only controls to enhance your forms. Finally, you’ll look briefly at ways to process the results of your forms after they’ve been submitted.
The remaining tutorials in the series look at 8 different types of form fields that you can place in an HTML form, including text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, menus, text areas, hidden fields, password fields and file upload fields.

Buttons are needed to “activate” your Web form — for example, to enable the user to send the form after they’ve filled it in.
