how javascript works

introduction

events, functions, objects, window, document, image, dot, methods, properties

events

onMouveOver event

initiates image rollover or popup menu

events are added to html tags

and point to a function

when the event occurs, the function is called and run = a function call

to do things at the right time

function:

a function contains javascript statements that manipulate an object

object:

an object is something on your web page or built into the browser

window:

the browser window is referred to as "window"

document

the page loaded in the window is the document or window.document

image

an image on your page named with th name attribute to ,say, name="pooky" would be refferred to as

"window.document.image.pooky"

dots

the dots separate the parent object from the child object

javascript object reference

Using this list of objects and child objects to point to a specific object using names and dots (.) is called a JavaScript Object Reference.

methods and properties

we can use JavaScript Methods and Properties to manipulate that object

method

A method is something an object can do or call on

property

A property is a characteristic of an object that can be dynamically changed by JavaScript.
