Voodoo’s Introduction to Javascript

By Stefan Koch
This tutorial is an introduction to JavaScript. I have started this tutorial as an online tutorial where you can test all examples immediately. As the tutorial grew larger a printable version was required.
What is JavaScript

JavaScript is a new scripting language which is being developed by Netscape. With JavaScript you can easily create interactive web-pages. This tutorial shows you what can be done with JavaScript - and more importantly how it is done.
JavaScript is not Java!
Many people believe that JavaScript is the same as Java because of the similar names. This is not true though. I think it would go too far at the moment to show you all the differences - so just memorize that JavaScript is not Java. For further information on this topic please read the introduction provided by Netscape or my book :-)
