What would next generation Javascript be like?
455894
The JavaScript right now has 2 parts, the server side and also the client side ( this is what it was originally designed for ).\n\nSo it already has come a long way than the one it was originally designed by Netscape Programmers. I think it might become more pattern matching language on client side and some kind of an XML like language to support self created structured data. As every application now a days is becoming more date intense, some day they might want to use JavaScript in small hand held smart devices.\n\nEven though JavaScript code can be crunched by a proxy and converted to XML as of today's technology, we might want to make this language more efficient and then enable it on smart devices.\n\nEnjoy.

There is no doubt that AJAX and AJAX-style technologies are the way forward for web design. Developers can create true "applications" on the web like never before - however care needs to be taken with AJAX, in order to keep web sites secure. \n\nOne of the biggest threats, however, comes from the increase in complexity of Client Side scripting accompanied by the potential increase in the number of Server Side scripts used to make AJAX work. These scripts are "hidden from view" by the technology, making testing less intuitive - whilst at the same time the adoption of this new technology appears to make quite sane web developers forget the basics of good coding. Issues such as Access Control and Input Validation don't go away - they just multiply and become interwoven. \n\nThe AJAX "Top 5" security tips: \n\nTo succeed - you must start with good planning. Efforts should be focussed on reducing and simplifying the AJAX calls, and creating a standard format for responses that follows convention (ideally XML) where possible. \n\nFollow best practice from sites such as the Open Web Application Security Project. This especially includes checking for Access Control and Input Validation flaws, whilst ensuring sensitive information travels over SSL rather than in the clear. \n\nNever assume that Server Side AJAX checks for Access Control or User Input Validation will replace the need for final re-checking at the Server. Adding AJAX controls will never reduce your validation workload, they will only increase it. \n\nNever assume that Client Side obfuscation (making the JavaScript difficult to read or decode) will protect your most important commercial secrets. Using JavaScript is a poor way to hide programming tricks and advances from your competitors. \n\nFinally, you must be prepared to exercise a tight reign over your development team. Wonderful ideas using AJAX may sound compelling, but you should consider saving them for version 2, whilst you focus on building a rock-solid version 1.

"The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents. The document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page. This is an overview of DOM-related materials here at W3C and around the web. "\n\nCheck the link. W3C has made the standards for DOM... Unfortunately, we still have to wait until browsers will fully suport DOM. For further documentation read this too: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/

there's quite a few, but, the most common one is the one i use, lissa Explains. Go to Java Script, and you should be all set up. This is one i highly reccomend, because it's like those "Dummy" books, plus, it used to be for kids.

Ajax is very powerful stuff - but its really useful in populating forms and interface elements in a web page without refreshing or reloading. I second the first poster's suggestion that you really ought to consider Flash for such a thing, since just about everyone has Flash anyway.... its graphics model would be less flaky than a web browser, and you wouldn't have to worry about the behaviour of different browsers.

it needs java oriented scripting. u can find it in the following addersses.

In what programming language, please?

First, let me clarify.  Some have said Javascript or VBScript.  These are client-side programming languages, in other words, they run on the viewer's computer.  They are very limited in what they can do.\n\nPHP, Java, VB, and ASP are all server-side.  That means they create html code dynamically and then send it to the viewer's computer.  It can include Javascript and VBscript along with the HTML.\n\nFor server-side languages, I prefer PHP hands down.  Nearly all dynamic sites require using a database, and PHP has native functions built in for handling database results.  PHP was designed for web site design from the start and with PHP 5 has become truly object-oriented.  It runs faster than Java, and is cross platform (unlike ASP, which only runs on Windows OS).\n\nIt is also open-source (read free).

What you're really looking for would require a more dynamic web language such as ASP or PHP.  However, you can still "fake" a "next" button.\n\nOn page 1...\n\n<a href="1.html">1</a>|<a href="2.html">2</a>|<a href="3.html">3</a>|<a href="2.html">next...</a>\n\nand then on page 2...\n\n<a href="1.html">...prev</a>|<a href="1.html">1</a>|<a href="2.html">2</a>|<a href="3.html">3</a>|<a href="2.html">next...</a>|<a href="1.html">1</a>|<a href="2.html">2</a>|<a href="3.html">3</a>|<a href="3.html">next...</a>\n\nNtice that "next" and "prev" links point to the next and previous pages in the chain.\n\nFor more information on HTML and other web languages, I highly recommend the below reference link.

language should have never been used for specifying JS vs VB or setting versions.\n\ntype is correct... language worked, but does not validate and is just OLD!

JavaScript is a script language - a system of programming codes, created by Netscape, that can be embedded into the HTML of a web page to add functionality. JavaScript should not be confused with the Java programming language. In general, script languages such as JavaScript are easier and faster to code than more structured languages such as Java and C++. Examples of JavaScript use in web site development.\n\nIn website development, javascript can't do much alone. It needs the help of HTML and DHTML

IE does not interpret Javascript, it only understands Jscript. Firefox, as a product of Moziila/Netscape, only understands Javascript. While both languages share similar functions, as they are both implementations of ECMAscript, and they share objects by adhering to various levels of the W3C DOM specifications, they also have completely exclusive functions and objects (It is only recently that the Gecko DOM supported the innerHTML object; it was first created as part of IE's DOM).\nTry to code to W3 specifications and you will seldom have any problems, or the need to fork code.

1) Autocompleting functions\n2) some components generate code for you so you dont have to write code for it again\n3) Very simple to use interface

Javascript itself is a scripting language. You can call a function name alert to show popup messages in javascript.

C# is still going to be around. F# is a functional language and will probably take over where vbscript left off when it comes to windows scripting. but C# is an Object Oriented language. Your comparing apples and oranges man.
