This article or section is currently under construction

In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

Definition

This is a short English / French links page on JavaScript. Only sporadically maintainted !

Reference and Manuals

JavaScript Reference

  • JavaScript at Mozilla developper center (JS 1.5 plus JS 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 upgrades].
  • Core JavaScript 1.5 Guide Can be used as Tutorial for the language only. Use a JS 1.2 or JS1.3 Guide for built-in non-standardized JavaScript objects, use the DOM specs for DOM objects.
  • JavaScript 1.5 Guide (Local copy of an old Netscape version)
  • ECMA-262 Specification (local copy, PDF). ECMA Script is a standardized Core Version (e.g. without any browser objects) based on the JavaScript 1.1 Specification. ECMA Script is the formal basis for many scripting languages (JavaScript 1.5, SVG and VRML scripting, Actionscript 3 etc.)

Document object model (DOM)

Else please consult the Document Object Model (alias DOM) entry.

JavaScript specific DOM Reference

  • History: For older NS 4.7 browsers and non-standardized so-called DOM 0 (e.g. HTML inline, browser interfaces) you may read: JavaScript 1.3 Guide and JavaScript 1.3 Reference Guide. These are outdated, but still on of the best references on how to use the old-style "standard" JavaScript Objects.
