An Abbreviated Introduction to JavaScript


A Custom Page

This page provides a "custom" name (and, in certain cases, a custom link). It serves as an illustration of the JavaScript conditional (if) statement. Try entering "Fred" and "SamR" to see differences.


<script language="javascript1.1">
var person = prompt("What is your name?", "");
document.write("<h2>Custom page for " + person + "</h2>");
if (person == "SamR") {
  document.write('<p><a href="http://www.math.grin.edu/">Visit the dept.</a></p>');
}
</script>
