  • Exploring JavaScript

    When learning a new programming language, it's important to try the examples in the book, and then modify them and try them again to test your understanding of the language. To do that, you need a JavaScript interpreter. Fortunately, every web browser includes a JavaScript interpreter, and if you're reading this book, you probably already have more than one web browser installed on your computer.

    We'll see later on in this chapter that you can embed JavaScript code within <script> tags in HTML files. and when the browser loads the file, it will execute the code. Fortunately, however, you don't have to do that every time you want to try out simple snippets of JavaScript code. Spurred on by the powerful and innovative Firebug extension for Firefox(pictured in Figure 1-1 and available for download from http://getfirebug.com/), today's web browsers all include web developer tools that are indispensable for debugging, experimenting, and learning. You can usually find these tools in the Tools menu of the browser under names like "Developer Tools" or "Web Console."(Firefox 4 includes a built-in "Web Console", but at the time of this writing, the Firebug extension is better.) Often, you can call up a console with a keystroke like F12 or Ctrl-Shift-J. These console tools often appear as panes at the top or bottom of the browser window, but some allow you to open them as separate windows(as pictured in Figure 1-1), which is often quite convenient.

    A typical "developer tools" pane or window includes multiple tabs that allow you to inspect things like HTML document structure, CSS styles, network requests, and so on. One of the tabs is a "JavaScript console" that allows you to type in lines of JavaScript code and try them out. This is a particularly easy way to play around with JavaScript, and I recommend that you use it as you read this book.

    There is a simple console API that is portably implemented by modern browsers. You can use the function console.log() to display text on the console. This is often surprisingly helpful while debugging, and some of the examples in this book(even in the core language section) use console.log() to perform simple output. A similiar but more intrusive way to display output or debugging messages is by passing a string of text to the alert() function, which displays it in a modal dialog box.
