Make Pages Interactive: JavaScript Start

❮ Previous Next ❯

JavaScript brings websites to life — buttons respond, forms validate, content updates without reloading the page. Global Tuts teaches JS from your first script to real browser behavior.

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a browser-based programming language that runs on the visitor's device. While HTML defines structure and CSS defines appearance, JavaScript controls behavior.

  • It reacts to clicks, keyboard input, scrolling and form submissions.
  • It can read and update the DOM — the live tree of HTML on the page.
  • Modern JS also runs on servers (Node.js), but Global Tuts starts with front-end basics.
  • Every major browser includes a JavaScript engine, so no extra install is needed to begin.

JavaScript Can Change HTML Content

One of many JavaScript HTML methods is getElementById().

The example below "finds" an HTML element (with id="demo"), and changes the element content (innerHTML) to "Hello JavaScript":

Example

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Hello JavaScript";

JavaScript accepts both double and single quotes:

Example

document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = 'Hello JavaScript';

JavaScript Can Change HTML Attribute Values

Did You Know?

JavaScript and Java are completely different languages, both in concept and design.

JavaScript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995, and became an ECMA standard in 1997.

ECMA-262 is the official name of the standard. ECMAScript is the official name of the language.
