Well, this is the javascript hello world. The javascript is used within web pages and the client browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox etc) will use the javascript code to help display the content of the page. This tutorial displays the “Hello World” in the webpage.
If you cut from
<html> <title>Javascript hello world</title> <body> <script language="javascript"> document.write("Hello World!"); </script> </body> </html> |
as javascripthelloworld.html
and then open up within IE or FF, this shall display a white page with the words in the top left “Hello World!”
The javascript is based on Objects, the same as Java,C++, C# etc, and the document object is the web page itself.
Hope it helps
