Welcome to The JavaScript
and Animated GIF Paradise

Welcome
on this site. On this site you will find stuff about JavaScript and animated
GIF's here. Just browse through the site and enjoy.
JavaScript
As
you probably red before, JavaScript is a very popular script-language
on the Internet. It actually is the only script-language supported by
the very most of leading browsers. JavaScript is an excellent middle
between HTML and Java. HTML offers far too less possibilities for an
interactive World Wide Web and Java is too difficult to learn for beginning
webmasters. But JavaScript offers the perfect opportunity for an interative
WebSite even if you are just one person making a not so difficult personal
homepage. To use the scripts that are available on this site, you don't
need JavaScript knowledge. You only need to know how HTML works. If
you do know something about JavaScript (or JS for short), the script-examples
can be very handy as inspiration.
Animated
GIF
The
GIF(Graphics Interchange Format)-format was designed by Compuserve(www.compuserve.com)
with the goal of making a image format that was small enough to be
downloaded pretty quickly. Later came animated GIF, which is now one
of the smallest animation-format for the Internet (only a Java-applet
is smaller). The easy usage of animated GIF is another advantage.
You can ad an animated GIF to your page the same as a normal image
(<IMG SRC=...).At the left side you see some A-GIF examples that
are available on this site
JavaScript And Java
The public has largely confused Java
Script and Java, but their uses and levels of difficulty are actually
quite different.
The most basic difference between Java and Java Script, is that Java is
a full-scale programming language and Java Script is an easy-to-use scripting
language. With Java, you can create applets which are embedded within
a web page or even stand-alone applications. By integrating Java Script
into your HTML, you can make the elements of a web page respond to user
actions.
The two languages do share a common root, however, as their names suggest.
The same company, Sun Microsystems, endorses the two languages, as they
share syntax and structure. Additonally, Java Script is able to control
and share information with Java applets.
Typical Java Uses:
Creating a game which runs
in a browser window.
Creating interactive web
graphics.
Writing stand-alone applications.
Typical Java Script Uses:
Customizing a page based
on the user's browser version.
Providing visual feedback
to the user actions
Checking for mistakes in
formes before they are submitted.
