What?

You want a list of "stuff" you can do with JavaScript?

1) Anything you want.


Sounds like you are trying to offload your Googlefu into the hands of GetSome.

Javascript can do lots of things. Two commonly used examples are:

Form Validation:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_validation.asp (http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_validation.asp)
Code: [Select]
function validateForm() {
    var x = document.forms["myForm"]["fname"].value;
    if (x == null || x == "") {
        alert("Name must be filled out");
        return false;
    }
}
And hiding page elements
Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript">
function showStuff(id) {
    document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'block';
}
</script>


<td class="post">

<a href="#" onclick="showStuff('answer1'); return false;">Edit</a>
<span id="answer1" style="display: none;">
<textarea rows="10" cols="115"></textarea>
</span>

Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum Lorem ipsum
</td>
The bigger kids in the forum can give  you more information as they use javascript for their jobs. I just teach this stuff for web design

Here is a question I gave to the students in their final test. It uses an example of Javascript

Two people failed to answer this question correctly. My boss told me off because it was "ambiguous"

The reasoning for the question is in the spoiler. You should probably answer the question before you check the spoiler
This is a Turing Logic Question. Computers always fail to answer this question correctly.

In other words: Only a non-Human could possibly fail to answer this question correctly as it requires human based logic

Makes sense. I answered B.

I guess because it's a radio selection it makes it easier, however if it was a check list, I'd be stumped :P

Also, note JavaScript has nothing to do with a browser, it just happens that it's the most popular client side scripting language.

we use javascript to drive integration engines data type manipulation and entire platform engines build on top of the JVM.

your imagination is really the endstop in any language, its whether or not that it is the most suitable productive way that often causes a stumbling block..

They really need to rename Java Script, because my brain always has a "kill murder destroy" moment at the word Java, and even thou Java and JS are totally different things, my hatred for Java is such that it takes me 30 seconds to calm down and my brain process the fact that we're not talking about Java.

You can make a snow effect on your website at Christmas time
and then all your members can complain at you about it
so you can not do it this year
and have people complain at you that you didn't do it and how un-festive you are...

Most annoying web pages put the snow effect in them during the Christmas holidays so it sets the standard level of annoyance for the season.

It is a Tyranny of the Masses. You cant win
