Chapter 25. Client-Side JavaScript Reference
This part of the book is a reference section that documents the classes, methods, properties, and event handlers defined in client-side JavaScript. This introduction and the sample reference page found at the beginning of Part III explain how to use and get the most out of this reference section. Take the time to read this material carefully, and you will find it easier to locate and use the information you need!
This reference section is arranged alphabetically. The reference
pages for the methods and properties of classes are alphabetized by
their full names, which include the names of the classes that define
them. For example, if you want to read about the submit( )
method of the Form class, you would
look under âForm.submit,â not just âsubmit.â
Most client-side JavaScript properties do not have reference pages
of their own (all methods and event handlers do have their own reference
pages, however). Instead, simple properties are completely documented in
the reference page for the class that defines them. For example, you can
read about the images[]
property of
the HTMLDocument class in the HTMLDocument
reference page. Nontrivial
properties that require substantial explanation do have reference pages
of their own, and youâll find a cross-reference to these pages within
the reference page of the class or interface that defines the
properties. For example, when you look up the cookie
property in the HTMLDocument
