Introduction
In order to use JavaScript on your web pages, you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. JavaScript is a scripting language that allows you to add interactivity to your pages. For example, you can create drop-down menus, or display alert messages. JavaScript is also used for validation, which means checking that the user has entered valid data.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a programming language often used to add interactivity to web pages. It can run on your visitor’s computer, rather than on the web server, making it possible to create applications that interact with users without needing constant downloads from the server. It is built into web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, so virtually all computers have it installed already.
