JavaScript is a scripting language that enables you to create dynamically updating content, control multimedia, animate images, and pretty much everything else. (Okay, not everything, but it is amazing what you can achieve with a few lines of JavaScript code.)

What you can do by using javascript?

The core client-side JavaScript language consists of some common programming features that allow you to do things like:

*Store useful values inside variables. In the above example, for instance, we ask for a new name to be entered then store that name in a variable called name.
*Running code in response to certain events occurring on a web page. We used a click event in our example above to detect when the button is clicked and then run the code that updates the text label.
*And much more.
