This chapter assumes you have a general understanding of the Internet and the WorldWide Web ( WWW ), and a good working knowledge of HyperText Markup Language ( HTML ). If not, please refer to the relevant sections.
Some programming experience with a language such as C or Visual Basic is useful, but not required.
The samples and tutorials provided in these references are based on current Netscape® JavaScript 1.4 and Microsoft JScript® 5.0 versions, and reflect the most recent ECMA ( European Computer Manufacturers Association ) standards on their accepted usage and trends.
This chapter does not attempt to cover the entire specifications of JavaScript, but hopefully provides more than an adequate start for anyone who intends to enhance HTML documents through scripting methods.
