Chapter 1 – Introduction to JavaScript
JavaScript is the premier client-side scripting language used today on the Web. It's widely
used in tasks ranging from the validation of form data to the creation of complex user
interfaces. Yet the language has capabilities that many of its users have yet to discover.
JavaScript can be used to manipulate the very markup in the documents in which it is
contained. As more developers discover its true power, JavaScript is becoming a first class
client-side Web technology, ranking alongside (X)HTML, CSS, and XML. As such, it will be a
language that any Web designer would be remiss not to master. This chapter serves as a brief
introduction to the language and how it is included in Web pages.
