JavaScript tutorial... achieving RESULTS with Java Script - you will learn to use JavaScript with some knowledge. The tutorial is something between learning about Java Script and Cut and Paste. The information is useful to both the beginner and the more experienced too. Click here to go to the table of contents , below. Or go to the JavaScript search also below. You will find more pages in the table of contents written on the fly by javascript.

Also note that there is more info in the JavaScript Tutorial 2 . This second tutorial was intended to deal more with the language, rather than with solving problems, which this tutorial deals with. Also visit the css tutorial. There is also a php tutorial.

Important Note : In writing this tutorial I have tried to use code that works in most browsers. For this reason, I have not dealt with some code which works only in one main browser. I have not fully succeeded in this because, for one reason, later versions of browsers do not always support code written for earlier versions. So what works in Nav 3, might not work in Nav 6! (Even though the code is correct!

This tutorial is not a "lazy man's way to using JavaScript". It is intended for those who want to learn about JavaScript rather than those who want a quick fix.

The tutorial was first written some years ago, at a time when I was struggling to do things with JavaScript. I hope this makes the tutorial easier to understand. Had I written it today, I might have assumed too much.
