news:bi**********@ftp.curtin.edu.au... I wish to know more about javascript. Hope that have somebody can help me
solve this problem. Just tell me which types of javescript is easy tolearn and easy to use. Thank.
The script you should be looking to learn is called ECMAScript.
To simplify
Javascript was designed for use in netscape brwsers.
Microsoft created Jscript for its browsers.
Although the scripts are very similar - there are subtle differences.
ECMAScript is the common ground between the two and should be valid on all
browsers.
Unfortunately, that is not true.
However, finding ecmascript tutorials sint easy, try learning javascript at
www.w3schools.com.
I took there quiz. The first question I got asked referred to tags, and the
answer they wanted was <script> no type attribute, not even the deprecated
langauge attribute.
Another dealt with navigator.appName Yuck!
If what they are teaching is <script>, changing my status bar, alerts, and
window.open, all without the usual warnings for such things, then its not, IMO,
a "good tutorial".
