JavaScript functions are compiled by the client machine at run-time. This is different than a lot of older code, but similar (at least in effect) to modern languages like C# and Java.
Although ASP is usually written with VBScript, JavaScript may be used if the ASP framework was compiled with JS functionality.
JavaScript isn't compiled. It's an interpreted language, which means that it's translated into 'computer language' line by line when needed. You can link JavaScript to a HTML document by using the src attribute of the script tag. If you name your external javascript 'test.js', you can inject it into your HTML page by using <script type="text/javascript" src="test.js"></script>.
Javascript can be used on a variety of platforms which require simple computer commands but not a full programming language. Javascript can be used as or in addition to a full fledged programming language.
JavaScript programs cannot be compiled, but it is easy to run them if you embed them into a HTML file, and open it in your browser. Note: If you want a example, select menu-command View/Source and search for '<script'
Just like JavaScript, it is in this format: functionName(moreInfo);
JavaScript is a scripting language that is mainly used within a web browser. Jquery is a library of javascript code that can be used together with your javascript program. A set of functions that can preform common tasks is provided, which will reduce the amount of code that you have to write yourself.
JavaScript is an object-oriented language, and like most OO languages, the actions that are performed on an object are referred to as methods. In JavaScript, methods are also sometimes called functions.
Probably due to the reasoning that javascript is simply a branch of html that allows you to run external functions to make the webpage do things, so that may be why.
If you are using PHP for creating a website, it will turn into a mess if you don't use separate files for CSS & Javascript. It is not that much of a problem as external javascript functions are not that difficult to call from html or php files. The code looks neat and we can differentiate the problem areas more accurately. The problem obviously resides when you use ASP.NET & call external javascript files. ASP.NET assigns different client side and server side ids for controls. It maybe a good idea there to discard the external coding of javascript if javascript functions are not called
You need not download javascript. Any machine where you have a web browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla would have javascript inbuilt in them. If you view the source (Right click-> View Source : and you can even try on this page itself), you will see tags such as <script type="text/javascript"> These is the embedded javascript code. If you have a source too in the script tag, simply locate the address and type it out in your browser, you will have the entire javascript file.
Javascript is a language used WITH HTML. It is not HTML. HTML is a markup language used to delineate between different types of data. JavaScript is a programming language, containing logic, functions, and object.
You can call the Script like this, <script type="text/javascript" src="perl_script.pl"></script> So you just replace a regular Javascript Call ( .js ) with the .pl Script. Inside the Perl Script you will have to use embraced Javascript Functions / Code, f.e. like print "document.write.('Hello World');";.
