2.1 Creating a\u00a0JavaScript<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The JavaScript is a plain text file similar to HTML or CSS files. To create a JavaScript, you can use any standard text editors such as the Notepad, WordPad or FrontPage. However, we encourage you to use Notepad++<\/a> which you can download it for free.<\/p>\n

Now, launch Notepad++ and enter the following\u00a0 code:<\/p>\n

document.write(' Welcome to JavaScript Tutorial')<\/pre>\n
Save this file with an extension .js <\/strong>in a folder of your choice. We advise you to create a particular folder to store all your JavaScript files for this tutorial. You can access the file from a\u00a0webpage by using the HTML <script><\/script> tag. Let’s say you save the aforementioned file with the name welcom.js, you can access this file by linking it from a webpage as shown in Example 2.1.<\/p>\n
