var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

var message = 'The form has the following input elements: \n\n';

for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {

Accessing Form Elements using getElementById

In order to access the form element, we can use the method getElementById() like this: var name_element = document.getElementById('txt_name'); The getElementById() call returns the input element object with ID ‘txt_name’ . Once we have the object, we can get the properties and call the methods of t…

Use getElementById to get the elements in a form

There are many ways of accessing form elements, of which the easiest is by using the cross-browser W3C DOM document.getElementById() method. Before we learn more about this method, it would be useful to know something about the Document Object Model (DOM), the concept of HTML nodes or elements, and…

The Date object is useful when you want to display a date or use a timestamp in some sort of calculation. In Java, you can either make a Date object by supplying the date of your choice, or you can let JavaScript create a Date object based on your visitor’s system clock. It is usually best to let JavaScript simply use the system clock.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
When creating a Date object based on the computer’s (not web server’s!) internal clock, it is important to note that if someone’s clock is off by a few hours or they are in a different time zone, then the Date object will create a different times from the one created on your own computer.</div>
<h1 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 0.8125em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

To warm up our JavaScript Date object skills, let’s do something easy. If you do not supply any arguments to the Date constructor (this makes the Date object) then it will create a Date object based on the visitor’s internal clock.</div>
<pre><h4>It is now
<script type="text/javascript">

Nothing shows up! That’s because we still don’t know the methods of the Date object that let us get the information we need (i.e. Day, Month, Hour, etc).</div>
<h1 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 0.8125em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

The Date object has been created, and now we have a variable that holds the current date! To get the information we need to print out, we have to utilize some or all of the following functions:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em 2.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Now we can print out the date information. We will be using the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">getDate</em>, <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">getMonth</em>, and <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">getFullYear</em>methods in this example.</div>

Notice that we added 1 to the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">month</em> variable to correct the problem with January being 0 and December being 11.

However, we will show you how to make windows popup for reasonable occasions, like when you want to display extra information, or when you want to have something open a new window that isn’t an HTML anchor tag (i.e. a hyperlink).</div>

The <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">window.open()</em> function creates a new browser window, customized to your specifications, without the use of an HTML anchor tag.

This works with pretty much any tag that can be clicked on, so please go ahead and experiment with this fun little tool. Afterwards, read on to learn more about the different ways you can customize the JavaScript window that <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pops</strong> up.</div>

There are three arguments that the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">window.open</em> function takes:</div>
<ol start="1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em 2.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The text name for the window.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A long string that contains all the different properties of the window.</li>

Naming a window is very useful if you want to manipulate it later with JavaScript. However, this is beyond the scope of this lesson, and we will instead be focusing on the different properties you can set with your brand spanking new JavaScript window. Below are some of the more important properties:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em 2.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">dependent</strong> – Subwindow closes if the parent window (the window that opened it) closes</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">fullscreen</strong> – Display browser in fullscreen mode</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">height</strong> – The height of the new window, in pixels</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">width</strong> – The width of the new window, in pixels</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">left</strong> – Pixel offset from the left side of the screen</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">top</strong> – Pixel offset from the top of the screen</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">resizable</strong> – Allow the user to resize the window or prevent the user from resizing, currently broken in Firefox.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">status</strong> – Display or don’t display the status bar</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dependent, fullscreen, resizable, and status are all examples of ON/OFF properties. You can either set them equal to zero to turn them off, or set them to one to turn them ON. There is no inbetween setting for these types of properties.</div>
<h1 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 0.8125em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Upgraded JavaScript Popup Window!</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now that we have the tools, let’s make a sophisticated JavaScript popup window that we can be proud of!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<input style="color: #373737; line-height: 1.625;" type="button" value="POP2!" /></form>

Now, that is a prime example of a worthless popup! When you make your own, try to have them relate to your content, like a small popup with no navigation that just gives the definition or explanation of a word, sentence, or picture!</div>

The most important part of getting the delay to work is being sure to use the JavaScript function<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">setTimeout</em>. We want the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">delayer()</em> function to be used after 5 seconds or 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds), so we pass the <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">setTimeout()</em> two arguments.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em 2.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

When your webpage is moved, you’d probably want to notify your visitors of the change. One good way is to place a “redirect page” at the old location which, after a timed delay, will forward visitors to the new location of your webpage. You can do just this with a JavaScript redirection.</div>
