 Description of JavaScript
6
 JavaScript is an object-based
language
 JavaScript deals directly with
the browser entities like
windows, forms, frames and
documents
 It can respond to browser
events like mouse clicks and
user- typed text.
 It is based on manipulating
objects by changing their
properties or applying
methods to them.
 Each object has properties
that describe its appearance,
purpose, or behavior
 Validate forms
 Helps detect browsers
 An object can have methods,
which are actions that can be
performed with or to it.
 Objects are items that exist in
a defined space in a Web page
(window, document, form
etc)

It is also
possible to

 Open source is a
development method for
software that harnesses the
power of distributed peer
review and transparency of
process.
Technology-Neutral
 The promise of open
source is better quality,
higher reliability, more
flexibility, lower cost, and
an end to predatory vendor

Node Types
 Common types are:
