NOTE: Because JavaScript is case sensitive,This relatively small set of types of values, or data types, enables you to perform useful functions with your applications. There is no explicit distinction between integer and real-valued numbers. Nor is there an explicit date data type in Navigator. However, you can use thenull

,NULL
, or any other variant.
Date
object and its methods to handle dates.
Objects and functions are the other fundamental elements in the language. You can think of objects as named containers for values, and functions as procedures that your application can perform.
var answer = 42And later, you could assign the same variable a string value, for example,
answer = "Thanks for all the fish..."Because JavaScript is loosely typed, this assignment does not cause an error message. In expressions involving numeric and string values, JavaScript converts the numeric values to strings. For example, consider the following statements:
x = "The answer is " + 42The first statement returns the string "The answer is 42." The second statement returns the string "42 is the answer."
y = 42 + " is the answer."

var
to declare a global variable is optional. However, you must use var
to declare a variable inside a function.
You can access global variables declared in one window or frame from another window or frame by specifying the window or frame name. For example, if a variable called phoneNumber
is declared in a FRAMESET
document, you can refer to this variable from a child frame as parent.phoneNumber
.
For information on using variables across frames and windows, see Chapter 4, "Using Windows and Frames."
Literals
You use literals to represent values in JavaScript. These are fixed values, not variables, that you literally provide in your script.
Integers
Integers can be expressed in decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), and octal (base 8). A decimal integer literal consists of a sequence of digits without a leading 0 (zero). A leading 0 (zero) on an integer literal indicates it is in octal; a leading 0x (or 0X) indicates hexadecimal. Hexadecimal integers can include digits (0-9) and the letters a-f and A-F. Octal integers can include only the digits 0-7.
Some examples of integer literals are: 42 0xFFF, and -345.
Floating-Point Literals
A floating-point literal can have the following parts:
true
and false
.
"
) or single ('
) quotation marks. A string must be delimited by quotation marks of the same type; that is, either both single quotation marks or both double quotation marks. The following are examples of string literals:
"blah"
'blah'
"1234"
"one line \n another line"
Table 8.1 JavaScript special characters
Character | Meaning |
---|---|
\b | backspace |
\f | form feed |
\n | new line |
\r | carriage return |
\t | tab |
\\ | backslash character |
Escaping Characters
For characters not listed in Table 8.1, a preceding backslash is ignored, with the exception of a quotation mark and the backslash character itself.
You can insert a quotation mark inside a string by preceding it with a backslash. This is known as escaping the quotation mark. For example,
var quote = "He read \"The Cremation of Sam McGee\" by R.W. Service."
The result of this would be
document.write(quote)He read "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by R.W. Service.
To include a literal backslash inside a string, you must escape the backslash character. For example, to assign the file path c:\temp
to a string, use the following:
var home =
"
c:\\temp"
