The DOM represents each element as a node, and the programming languages like JavaScript can easily interact with the nodes to modify the page. There are different types of DOM available to access and modify content ... Read More

In this tutorial, let us discuss the three types of errors we can expect in our JavaScript code. Errors are statements that block the execution of the program. During the compilation of the program, three types of errors can occur. These are syntax errors, run time errors, and logical errors. Syntax Errors Syntax errors are usual errors. Incorrect syntax causes parsing issues during the code interpretation. For example, add a semicolon instead of a colon in an object declaration. Syntax errors affect only the respective code thread.

To list down all the plug-on installed in the web browser, use the JavaScript navigator object. The JavaScript navigator object includes a child object called plugins. This object is an array, with one entry for each plug-in installed on the browser.ExampleYou can try to run the following code to list down all the plug-in installed in your browser −           List of Plug-Ins                                       Plug-in Name             Filename             Description                                 for (i = 0;  i < navigator.plugins.length;  i++)             {                document.write("");                document.write(navigator.plugins[i].name);                                document.write("");                document.write(navigator.plugins[i].filename);                                document.write("");                document.write(navigator.plugins[i].description);                document.write("");             }                    

Generally, animation in JavaScript is done to get different effects and make the object move around the page. You can move and animate any type of HTML element using manual or automated animations in JavaScript.

The code while using anonymous functions is more readable when handlers are to be defined inside the calling code. Anonymous functions are declared inline. Normally, inline functions are better since they can access variables in the parent scopes.It allows for creating a function without any names identifier. It can be used as an argument to other functions. You can call them using a variable name.This is how JavaScript anonymous functions can be used −var func = function() {    alert(‘This is anonymous'); } func();Here’s an example −//anonymous function var a = function() {    return 5; }
