Introduction

Welcome to Pure JavaScript, 2nd Edition! This book has been written by JavaScript programmers for JavaScript programmers, and has been updated to cover the most current version of the language. It is your complete reference for developing, testing, and deploying JavaScript solutions in pages and on Web sites.

Pure JavaScript was not written to teach a person how to program, but rather to provide the details and semantics of the JavaScript language so programmers can exploit it as they see fit. JavaScript has evolved over the past few years and is reaching into new areas, especially in the most current browsers and server-side environments, most of which are addressed in this book. The book itself is broken into three main parts, including references on concepts, techniques, and syntax. Each represents a valuable step in learning and using the language.

Part I, “A Programmer’s Overview of JavaScript,” acts as a bridge for programmers who are currently programming in another language. It covers some programming techniques, such as the use of regular expressions, event handlers, exceptions, and even debugging. Many times programmers don’t want to buy a beginners book on JavaScript because they do not need to know how to program, but rather they need specifics about the language. When they know these specifics and semantics, the syntax is easy. This section provides the necessary information for such a programming migration.

Part II, “Programming in JavaScript,” shows you the advantages and strengths of JavaScript. It discusses some of the pros and cons of using the language on the client-side, server-side, and even within the Windows Script Host environment. Programmers will learn how to use JavaScript in real-world instances. They will be introduced to some of the browser issues as well as how to process Web information. In addition, programmers will be shown how to access Java functions within an applet and to use server-side JavaScript for Internet, intranet, or extranet development. After you have completed this section, you will be ready to move forward and start programming. This leads you into the last section of the book.

Part III, “JavaScript Reference,” makes up the majority of the book and contains some of the most useful information for current JavaScript programmers—reference material organized by object. Each property, method, and event is discussed in detail under its associated object; and you’ll see an example of its use. Each entry also shows the appropriate language version and environment (browser, server, and so on) support.

The section itself is broken into nine chapters. The first chapter covers the core JavaScript objects and syntax. The next chapter covers objects specific to the client-side, which is where JavaScript really has its roots. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth chapter in this section outlines the various support for the Document Object Model (DOM) within JavaScript. The seventh chapter covers server-side JavaScript objects for the Netscape and iPlanet Enterprise servers, and the Active Server pages (ASP) environment present in Microsoft’s IIS Web Servers. The second to last chapter in the section covers the JScript RunTime objects, and the final chapter covers Windows Script Host.

And that covers it! For new JavaScript programmers, welcome to the world of JavaScript. For those of you wanting a good, solid reference for your programming needs, we hope you find this book to be the most resourceful and current title on the shelves today!
