Appendix A. JavaScript Reference
This appendix contains JavaScript syntax reference in the following areas:
Objects, methods, and properties
Top-level functions and properties
Event handlers
In general, JavaScript has a three-pronged structure: core, client-side, and server-side. Core JavaScript refers to those features that can be used on both the client and server sides. Client- and server-side JavaScript includes core JavaScript plus extensions of each particular environment. For example, client-side JavaScript contains the window and the document objects, something the server would have no use for. Similarly, server-side JavaScript contains the File object.
The material here is current as of client-side JavaScript 1.3 and core JavaScript 1.4. Everything in the following pages comes straight from the Netscape sites:
| http://developer1.netscape.com:80/docs/manuals/js/core/jsref/index.htm |
| http://developer1.netscape.com:80/docs/manuals/js/client/jsref/index.htm |
You can find Microsoft Jscript resources at:
| http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/default.htm?/scripting/jscript/default.htm |
Keep this as a handy quick reference, but always refer back to the Netscape and Microsoft material for the latest material.
