Chapter 1, The Message Box
This is a very simple script. It opens up an alert message box which displays whatever is typed in the form box below.
Type something in the box. Then click "Show Me"
HOW IT'S DONE
Here's the entire page, minus my comments. Take a few minutes to learn as much as you can from this, then I'll break it down into smaller pieces.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Beginning of JavaScript -
function MsgBox (textstring) {
alert (textstring) }
// - End of JavaScript - -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<FORM>
<INPUT NAME="text1" TYPE=Text>
<INPUT NAME="submit" TYPE=Button VALUE="Show Me" onClick="MsgBox(form.text1.value)">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
