# Javascript
|
|
## DOM
|
|
- JS can access and change all the elements of an HTML document
|
|
- When a webpage is loaded, the browser creates a DOM of the page
|
|
- The HTML DOM model is contructed as a tree of Objects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
JS can:
|
|
- change elements
|
|
- change attributes
|
|
- change styles
|
|
- remove elements
|
|
- add new elements
|
|
- react to events
|
|
- create new events
|
|
|
|
JS is
|
|
- descriptive
|
|
- structued
|
|
- interpreted
|
|
|
|
can be linked externally
|
|
- `<scipt src="script.js" defer></script>`
|
|
- `defer` ensures that the js is loaded after the html (in a specific order)
|
|
- `async` ensures that the js is run as soon as it is loaded (not in a specific order)
|
|
|
|
typing
|
|
- js is dynamically typed
|
|
- you dont need to specify the type of variable
|
|
|
|
events
|
|
- e.g., click, hover, resize etc
|
|
- smoke alarm analogy
|
|
- fire is the event
|
|
- alarm is the listener
|
|
- sound of the alarm is the handler
|
|
|
|
cookies
|
|
- websites can use JS to store cookies on client machines.
|
|
- usually server 'serve' the file to the user and nothing else
|
|
- cookies allow to server to remember information about the client
|
|
- `document.cookie`
|
|
|
|
limitations
|
|
- cannot write to files (apart from cookies)
|
|
- cannot execute programs on client computer
|
|
- cannot establish a connection to any server except the one it came from (apart from re-directing to a new site)
|
|
- cannot read history of brower (but is can cause the brower to move around in the history list)
|
|
- not supposed to be able to open an invisible window
