Getting Started

This book is a reference manual for the JavaScript language, including objects in the core language and both client-side and server-side extensions. JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language for client and server applications.

Sections:

What You Should Already Know

This book assumes you have this basic background:

  • A general understanding of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).

  • Good working knowledge of HyperText Markup Language (HTML). Experience with forms and the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is also useful.

  • If you're going to use the LiveWire Database Service, relational databases and a working knowledge of Structured Query Language (SQL).

Document Conventions

Occasionally this book tells you where to find things in the user interface of Netscape Navigator. In these cases, the book describes the user interface in Navigator 4.0. This interface may be different in earlier versions of the browser.

JavaScript applications run on many operating systems; the information here applies to all versions. File and directory paths are given in Windows format (with backslashes separating directory names). For Unix versions, the directory paths are the same, except that you use slashes instead of backslashes to separate directories.

This book uses uniform resource locators (URLs) of the form

http://server.domain/path/file.html
In these URLs, server represents the name of the server on which you run your application, such as research1 or www; domain represents your Internet domain name, such as netscape.com or uiuc.edu; path represents the directory structure on the server; and file.html represents an individual filename. In general, items in italics in URLs are placeholders and items in normal monospace font are literals. If your server has Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) enabled, you would use https instead of http in the URL.

This book uses the following font conventions:

  • The monospace font is used for sample code and code listings, API and language elements (such as function names and class names), filenames, pathnames, directory names, HTML tags, and any text that must be typed on the screen. (Monospace italic font is used for placeholders embedded in code.)

  • Italic type is used for book titles, emphasis, variables and placeholders, and words used in the literal sense.

  • Boldface type is used for glossary terms.
