This chapter introduced using JavaScript inside of Web browsers. It covered how to include JavaScript code in both HTML and SVG pages, explaining the differences between the two. It also discussed how XHTML has changed how JavaScript is included in HTML pages and the best way to prepare for the future in this regard.
Later in the chapter, you learned about the Browser Object Model and the various objects it supplies.
You learned that the window object is the center of the JavaScript universe, and all the other BOM objects
are actually just properties of window.
The chapter explained how to manipulate browser windows and frames, moving and resizing them
using JavaScript. Using the location object, you learned how to access and alter a window’s location
and, using the history object, how to go back and forward to pages the user has already visited.
Finally, you learned how to retrieve information about a user’s Web browser and screen by using the
navigator and screen objects.
