Handling Scripts

• Description : Although this part of the tutorial will not teach you scripting languages such as javascript it will inform you how to include a script in your page.
• Language : HTML

Including a script in your web pages is as simple as including a .css file in your page. Below is the code for including an external JavaScript file:

Code :

<script type="text/javascript" src="yourJSFile.js" /></script>

You can also write internal JavaScript, although if you want to use the same JavaScript on multiple pages you should use an external file. Here is an internal javascript entry:

Code :

<script type="text/javascript"> document.write("This is some text written with JavaScript!") </script>

Output:

This is some text written with JavaScript!

The above script will simply write some text onto a web page, pretty useless as it's easier to do with HTML, but JavaScript is a powerful tool. Hopefully tutorials for JavaScript will be available in the near future. Finally always remember to account for older browsers, below is how to do this:

Code :

<noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript</noscript>

This concludes a short tutorial on scripting, a more thorough tutorial on JavaScript will hopefully be available in the near future!
