What You Need to Use JavaScript

To begin learning JavaScript, you will need to have a few things. Here they are:

1. You should know how to use HTML and be able to edit your HTML documents. If you want to learn HTML, click here.

2. You will need to have a web browser that supports JavaScript. You should use Netscape version 3 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer  version 3.02 or later. If you use IE, I recommend IE4 because IE3.x is not compatible with all of the scripts.

3. You do not need to know how to do programming....I'll show you what you need to know for these basic scripts. If you want to try creating your own scripts, programming knowledege is helpful. Check out our JavaScript Links  for more documentation on using JavaScript.

Okay, if you are ready, we can move on to the next section, The Basics.
