Javascript Tutorial - 2 - Basic Syntax

[anonymouscitizen0101]

or use html :P (old school )

[Riddlerx333x]

I tried saving it as a html file on mac osx. I am using Komodo edit, its still not working.

[animals0feel1pain2]

lol, its interesting to see the difference between your earlier tutorials and your later ones.

the clear difference in enthusiasm makes all the difference in the presentation of the tutorial

[JOKBO1]

Use dreamweaver if you can, it's easier to test your scripts.

[jspspike2]

do one on java programing

[amitkcdone]

this does not work..! Any suggestions??

[SamyAdel9]

3:26

oops I didn't make a mistake by accident?

[UbuntuGenious]

You can make good tutorials, but the tone of your voice makes this entirely boring

[LmfaoReviews]

great tut man you make it SO easy to understand

[Riddlerx333x]

what about --- script language = "javascript">

[JScodeZ]

@Riddlerx333x Putting in language="javascript" is unneeded.

[ashadow0309]

EVERYONE SAVE IT AS A .JS FILE AND YOU DONT HAVE TO TYPE (script type="text/javascipt")

[TheOrigamiMasterds]

hey man ive got stuff like this every monday. come check it out!

[2yung4grey]

i know this is a stupid qs, but can anybody tell me which lesson he talks about creating tables in javascript?

[GamesForLifes999]

Ok. .. Tutorials of thenewboston are really BEST. Thanks . But now i need help . When i try to run on google chrome that Javascript it' s youst not working it puts me out why i've typed . ( mybe is disabled or.. ?.

[GamesForLifes999]

I don't understand what's wrong with your youtube website and your website here and there are not the same tutorials ?. What da fack ;D

[xpl0ckx]

240p?

[TheAzureFish]

@Agreed, except that, when you said, "Apostrophes are ' '...". While it is the same key as the apostrophe key (or even 'foot mark'), and while in programming one usually uses 'straight' as opposed to curly quotes, the pair are actually 'single quotes'.

In a similar way, double quotes (" "), are refered to as such and not as 'inch marks".

[austin10123]

Were you out of coffee for this video?

[mail2joydeeproy]

he is always very good in explaining things very easily........



[bruceleeking1]

my friend in high school he typed something in to the search bar and made some words change on a website, is that also javascript?

[webmastertool]

@bruceleeking1 yes, google javascript edit web page tricks.

[mexicanmansam]

Can you do this on mac?

[ag4coupons]

If anyone is having problems getting this to work make sure your file is saved as a .html and not a .txt

[UniversalHere]

when i type it doesnt give me color text...and tht minimize thing doesnt show up when go to next line

[MrPwnzorrosco]

@UniversalHere Are you sure you're using notepad++

It's a different program than the usual standard notepad on window OS's

[IvanMarinIvkovich]

@MrPwnzorrosco This is 3 year old video. He could have not had the same program.

[MrPwnzorrosco]

@IvanMarinIvkovich well, I know for a fact bucky is using notepad++ in this video, I use it myself pretty much everyday so I can tell, not sure if this sounds douchy, i dont mean to be douchy =/

[IvanMarinIvkovich]

@MrPwnzorrosco Oh I thought you said "Are you sure you're using notepad++" to Bucky. :P My bad. No, ur not douchy. <3

[ag4coupons]

@UniversalHere I had to save file as html instead of the standard txt and it solved the same issues i had

[RASHTG]

@UniversalHere Click on save as, change the name to index(that's what he did), choose [ HyperText Markup Language] then save it anywhere you want as long as you can remember it later. That's all

[jeff28emailspam]

Excellent!

[MichaelS0305]

How do you make it appear on the FireFox window though? Do you need to be on some kind of address on FireFox before you save it?

[LoverOfPixels]

What is the website you are usig to do this...

[Numberidge]

@LoverOfPixels It's a text editor not a website. The text editor's name is "Notpad++" google and download that for free!

[ExtraRandomDude]

At first I had the sound off so I was like WTF

[MysteriousStrangerxX]

You made this 11 year old very happy :D

[MasterA55a55in]

where are you entering this to?

i thought i could test it by pasting to address bar but that dosnt work,

[B1KMusic]

@MasterA55a55in First, it's called notepad++, it's like notepad, but with plus and minus buttons, the name is a reference to C++, because the editor is very similar (you actually CAN edit C++ in the program).

Second, you CAN do that, the syntax is just a bit different. when typing script into the address bar, it needs a "protocol" and the closest you can get to that here is "javascript:".

In this case, you want to type " javascript:document.write ('Foo Bar Baz'); alert('hello World') "

[mikbok117]

Thanks!

[r0oTsWe]

Error....>k

keep going :D

[r0oTsWe]

alert("Thanx pucky");

[FOGTALK]

This guy is awesome wow fogtalk 99%

[Darkness545454]

Whoa, pretty weird that you wrote that number Bucky...

[Prussiaaccount]

Just writing text with no code works fine as well?

[MBHGlitcherz]

Hi quick question, if " disappears can u just put "" if u want it to appear? ty

[caryllyca]

What did you use in recording your video?

[WinXpCoder]

For some reason i hate HTML, theres too many characters compared to VBScript.

[Heetzy]

@blueterrior Stop complaining, be happy for what he's teaching you.

[pescado85]

nice video God Bless you

[T1melimit]

Quick note: If you want to test your code without saving and all that, you can put your javascript in the adress bar on your browser with "javascript:" (no quotation marks) at the beginning of the code.

Of course this will only work if you only want to test the javascript and you do not have any HTML code there.

[46ace]

Appreciate the tutorial but:

Parentices are ( )

Quotation marks are " "

Apostrophes are ' '

[iKhazModan]

@46ace then what is `(not to be mistaken for ')?

[jordannw2010]

@46ace not everyone knows that though, if he says them how you learn them in school then its easy to understand

[ironmagma]

@46ace The technical terms are: parentheses (...), double quotes: "...", and single quotes '...' . This is an apostrophe: ’ (not the same as ' if you view with a larger font than youtube provides)

[ps3teb1996]

@toshko3331 notepade++

[T1melimit]

@toshko3331 He's using Notepad++. Google it.

[dbgudwbs]

awesome thanks again

[superoverlord123]

How can i get the message to open in firefox?

[superoverlord123]

when i try to run it in firefox it just comes up with exactly what i had typed and does not run the script.

[deekay2]

I believe you have notepad++ opened to write the javascript.......but what program window do you have opened in the background to view the output of the script?? You should have shown and explained this!!

[bartjoboy]

@deekay2 That's internet explorer... :P You can execute the script by just opening the .html file in your web browser.

[Hakerpawel1]

@deekay2 It's mozilla firefox

[mattbfc2009]

@deekay2 when you save the file, all you do is save it as a html file and save it to your desktop, and open it up, all you do is refresh it everytime you add some data.

[bartjoboy]

You say that you can't enclose numbers in quotes. This is quiet misleading I think..

Using quotation marks will cause the numbers to be a string (a series of characters, in other words, plain text). Doing it without quotes will cause it to be a value (a value of 4 is something else than the character 4).

[aphilby]

You say parentheses when you mean parentheses but you also say parentheses when you mean quotations.

[abordeaza]

thenk you for tutorial romania spartacu@personal.ro

[webdesign11]

thank you thank this cool

[FreeWebTutorialsRock]

nice vid

[pointlessABC]

lol "1 double and 1 single" puts 2 double

[TheBojanovski]

DUDE YOU ARE COOL!!

[1k5b9g5]

I know this video is from a long time ago, but my text doesn't appeared colored like that.... does anyone know how I can fix that?

[1k5b9g5]

@1k5b9g5 Nevermind! I figured it out!

[rahul247rocks]

hey i know JAVA programming is javascript almost similar?????? also can we make forms and automated status update and stuff using javascript...

[altu892]

@rahul247rocks yes... but all the thing you need to implement by yourself

[B1KMusic]

@rahul247rocks Java and Javascript are similar like a car and carpet are similar, so no.

[ImTheBatchMan]

@rahul247rocks Java is NOT javascript. They are in no way related, except for the fact that they are both programming languages. Please do not confuse these.

[USAhackers]

@rahul247rocks JAVA and Javascript are two completely different languages. JAVA is more complex and it is similar to C++. Javascript is used to make your website more interactive.

[dogspwnu]

wow, am I the only person to notice he for the whole video he calls quotes parenthesis?

[TacticalGames]

@dogspwnu

Thats what they're called.

[dogspwnu]

@TacticalGames no.... parenthesis are (the things around this text) "quotes are the things used for quoting someone else, and this text is in quotes"..... oh yeah, I just googled it, and for computers those are called parenthesis... how confusing.

[swee1movie]

what program is this? im using dreamweaver but it doesnt work

[RaySiirila]

Does Javascript work in Microsoft Word on a Mac? please respond ASAP :D

[theMacBoy11]

bucky, it's notepad++, not notepad+

Overall, great vid!

[DeltaTenFour]

Or notepad 2

[zeificaiOn]

Your tutorials are awesome!! I have watched all of them, and now know alot more about javascript.

[Biohazard000Labs]

can you save a javascript file to .js and let your website execute the functions? and if that works... how?

[lolknopielol]

How you get the collers on the words. I do the same but i dont get collers.

[lolknopielol]

How you get the collers on the words. I do the same but i dont get collers.

[TehAndrewRyan]

man you rule, these tutorials are VERY easy to follow, and your voice is clear so i heard all you said. great work!

[betazetz1]

Your welcome :)

[Dweller777]

Those are called "quotes".. not parentheses..

A quote looks like this: "

A parenthesis looks like this: ( and )

[DaleyDerek]

What can this be used for, (Javascript?)

[JavierG1000a]

Really well explained! (: exactly what I was looking 4!!!

[xXKiTheifXx]

lol I'm freaking out because Notepad++ doesn't change colors when I right a code xP

can somebody help me out?

[Th4Pwnz0r]

@xXKiTheifXx Same here. I wish someone would help. :(

[Th4Pwnz0r]

@xXKiTheifXx I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT!

You need to type some random letters so you can save.

Click on save, then save as 'Hyper text markup language file'

Save, then walla, you can now script. :D

[xXKiTheifXx]

@Th4Pwnz0r Like 10minutes after I commented I got it :P

[Th4Pwnz0r]

@xXKiTheifXx Me too. But now I cant get it to do anything on my web browser? The web page just stays the same... Help meh please. :D

[MrSaggat]

[azadl8349]

[TeamCeMA5]

you need an annotation at 3:00 to say that you said wrong. You said parenthesis instead of quote.

[didagoal]

[littlestar1562]

very nice tutorial

[MrFartburgers]

hey i came across a problem, i did fine till i hit the command prompt. i got to the part were you had to compile the "youtube.java" when i did "javac youtube.java" it said that " 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. can you help me?

[killer99120]

i got Gedit as well

[zeekerisftw]

i like how the first minute he done nothing

[RobloxWizard99]

so THATS how they make rick roll sites with the alert boxes doing that! :O I wonder if i can javascript on freewebs...

[fatbubble123]

@RobloxWizard99 there are many many ways to do that. you can simply do it in notepad and labeling it a .VBS file. I have done that before.

this is just a much simpler way of doing it than through the notepad method. ;)

[osiris1503]

what is more appropriate to use, javascript or vbs?

[XRVStudios]

hey im using notepad++ and am following excactly what you say, but i noticed that the "effects" such as the bolding and minimize option are not appearing when i type things in.

[emperusDS]

Language - H - HTML

[londonblue2006]

thank you

[lonestarrangertx]

Great video. Just a small quirk. He says 'Double parenthesis & single parenthesis' where it should actually have been 'Double quotes and single quotes'.

[ExtremeCardControl]

what do you use to write your script?

[hamdustan]

he's using Notepad++

[BLACKOUT48CCS]

i need help i do everything that u said but it doesnt work at all

[cytt]

What screen recorder do u use?

[harveercingh]

m8 u r gr8 your voice is very clear and the way you teaching us is gr8 thnx! :)

[thedevo01]

@harveercingh He could be just a tiny bit more enthusiastic though. =P

[idrawgirls]

Dude! You rule!!! I have never write any script before, you make it looks so easy. Thanks a ton

[blueterrior]

Two questions, leep in mind i'm a beginner!

1. Why use javascript to input text into a document when you can do the same thing using html? is there a reason for using javascript for that?

2. How do i change the heading for the alert box?

[imuahawaii808]

JavaScript allows websites to be more interactive. The use of text in JavaScript is completely applicable in many ways such as allowing the context of a message box.

2. Good question... I have seen message boxes that when added to a page switches the JavaScript header for the page URL for the header.

[juplm4000]

Use a VBS in it (u can change buttons as well)

[classiqueheart]

me too.

[basketballdude138]

@blueterrior javascript can do more stuff way more stuff than html

[bartjoboy]

@blueterrior 1. No, there isn't much of a point to use JavaScript entirely for displaying text. :P But remember you can do far more with it. HTML is static, the stuff you display is always the same. With JavaScript however, the data you output is dynamic (for example, a clock or your site statistics). And that's something you can't do with HTML only.

2. Not possible by default I am afraid. You could try to use jQuery though...

[gamersgonebad]

@blueterrior It's for practice, you will learn as you go further down and learn more about Javascript.

[SandySynaptik]

@blueterrior You have asked "Why use javascript to input text into a document when you can do the same thing using html?" I would like to inform you that this is only basics of JavaScript, just only for making you understand what can a JavaScript do, If you don't know then let you inform you that when you type something in Google, the suggestions comes through the process of JavaScript, obviously it is known as AJAX (Asynchronous ""JavaScript"" and XML)

[DreamBiggy]

Greaaat! I will make sure to follow all of your tutorials. Thanks for teaching and uploading

[3moonmen]

cool awsome dude thnx

[TehPen]

At 4:20 you mean dont enclose in quotation marks

[umutbln]

hi ... i can't work it out to get syntax highlighting working for javascript. I have downloaded the newest stable realease of Notepad++

It works when i'm writing html but not in javascript.

I tried to first save the file with .html / .js ending but it didn't help ...

can somebody of you guys help me ? thx

[cyrus709]

I was hoping that you made javscript videos, I saw many of your php tutorials and though at that point i had already a decent knowlage, the tutorials are still very good. I am not very good with emcascript though

[papermarioTTYD12345]

did you know that youtue is typed in javascript?

[richgilb]

THEY'RE NOT CALLED PARENTHESIS!!!!

[Mackinstyle]

Those brackets? Yes, those are called parenthesis.

[WAJMhome]

lol

[furyzftw]

this is gud

[RoryP97]

woot i did it, im proud of myself :D (i need to get out more lol)

[AndrewEpicWins]

omg this guy is my favorite teacher!I learned alot from him about Python.

[Yousitech]

it is notepad ++

[fruitdoodproductions]

Hey im using a mac. I have used many diffrent HTML and Javascript editors and even tryed it on wordpad on windows 98 but when i so 100% exact same script as you nothing comes up.

[fruitdoodproductions]

The programs i have used:

Mac - Dreamweaver CS4

Mac - Komodo Edit

Mac - EditRocket

Mac - TextEdit

Windows 98 - Wordpad

[AmazingCowMan]

You probably don't save it right. You have to include .html or .htm after the name you use to save it. i.e.I save it as:

firstscript.html

There you go! Hope i helped.

[fruitdoodproductions]

After i save it as .html or .htm is shows just all of the script or nothing

[coldcake16]

save it as All Files

[itsjareds]

2:50

It's double quotes and single quotes, not parentheses.

[Jonas9300]

Thanks, very good explained, I'm a beginner! :)

[k3n08]

hi just wanna know what type of software did you use?

[orb777]

just put in your code on a text editor (notepad, notepad ++, etc.) and save it with ".htm" at the end...

Ex:

Test.htm

then click on the saved file and it should open w/ your internet browser...

[AlohaSiempre]

been banging my head on a wall for 3 weeks now in an online WGD class. Javascripts make me want to puke I'm so stressed. Thanks man It's not perfect for me but it's helping a lot. Awesome job.

[montaser988]

thank you man you are amazing man

[Frassbazz]

how has knowing javascript helped you to make money im just wondering if i learn this what jobs will i be applicable to do

[VampieGames]

well, just javascript will get you nowhere, however, with a variety of computing languages you will be able to achieve alot more, if you know html, javascript and actionscript (flash) you would be able to create website and sell them, and if you where to also learn animation that would help you greatly. if you where wondering about learning how to make games, and use flash check out some of my tutorials, and btw thenewboston, nice vids on javascript :P i subbed :D
