One of the most useful (and quite possibly the most abused) features of JavaScript is its ability to manipulate browser windows. It can be very handy for creating a pop-up navigation.
Multiple pop-up windows can be a real pain, especially now that certain free web space companies are getting in on the act as a method of advertising, so go easy on them. A good rule of thumb is: if you’re opening two new windows, you’re opening one too many!
Common HTML Meta Tags
You may have heard talk of HTML meta tags on the Web, most likely in connection with search engines. This is because one of the common uses of meta tags is to give search engines additional information about your web page when they index it. In fact there are over 200 different types of “meta-information” that you can place in your Web page with the aid of the HTML meta tag.
Introduction to JavaScript
JavaScript’s a great language. I love it. It may not have the speed or power of Java or C, or the tight integration of ActiveX, but on the plus side it’s interpreted (no messing about with compilers), fast to load, easy to debug and it embeds itself neatly into your web page.
Most important of all, it’s easy to learn. Hopefully if you’re fairly new to the language, these tips will help get you started. Even seasoned JavaScript coders may learn a thing or two from these tips – you never know!
This tutorial shows you how to get started with JavaScript. We’ll look at how to embed JavaScript in your web page, and how JavaScript talks to your web browser. I’ll illustrate these points by building a simple program to display an alert box when the page is first loaded.
HTML Images
This tutorial shows you how to include images in your HTML Web pages. It’s aimed more at the beginner than the expert, and shows some common pitfalls encountered when using HTML images.
