****JAVASCRIPT AND HTML ELEMENT****

​

JavaScript is a very powerful scripting language, used mainly for enhancing user's interaction with a web page. You can make your web page interactive and livelier, with the help of JavaScript. JavaScript is also widely used in game development and Mobile application development.

​

JavaScript cannot run on its own, because it is a scripting language, rather, browsers are used for running the code. When you request an HTML page with JavaScript in it, the script is sent to the browser and executed by the browser.

​

You will need a text editor to write your code and a browser to display the web pages you develop. Any text editor of your choice can be used including Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Atom, or any other text editor you are comfortable with.

 

For browsers, any web browser including Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer etc. can run JavaScript.
