| | ECMAScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | ActionScript version 2.0 is an example of a ECMAScript implementation which is already more class-based than prototype-based. | | | In June 2004 Ecma International published ECMA-357 standard, defining an extension to ECMAScript, known as E4X (ECMAScript for XML). | | | The latest versions of Mozilla (1.8 Betas) and Firefox 1.5 have partial support of E4X [2] and a few other features, see New in JavaScript 1.6. |

| | Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition -December 1999 |
| | ECMAScript is an object-oriented programming language for performing computations and manipulating computational objects within a host environment. | | | ECMAScript as defined here is not intended to be computationally self-sufficient; indeed, there are no provisions in this specification for input of external data or output of computed results. | | | ECMAScript does not contain proper classes such as those in C++, Smalltalk, or Java, but rather, supports constructors which create objects by executing code that allocates storage for the objects and initialises all or part of them by assigning initial values to their properties. |

| | It is defined in a set of separate standards[3], developed by the W3C and is applicable to the access and manipulation of HTML and XML documents in many computer languages and platforms. | | | The need for common specifications for these two languages was the basis of the ECMA 262 standard for ECMAScript (see external links below), three editions of which have been published since the work started in November 1996. | | | JavaScript is also considered a functional programming languages, like Scheme and Ocaml, because it has closures and supports higher-order functions. |

| | VRML97, ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997 -- Annex C, ECMAScript Scripting Reference |
| | Since ECMAScript is an untyped language it has no language constructs to describe the types of parameters passed to, or values returned from, functions. | | | The file extension for ECMASCript source code is '.js', unless a protocol returning mime types is used (such as HTTP). | | | In the case of a ECMAScript numeric value or numeric array return, the identifier numeric or numeric[ ] is used. |

| | Web Development - COMPM067 - Notes |
| | ECMAScript is an object-based programming language - this means that it includes the concept of objects, but is not built entirely around them, like the Java language, for example. | | | In computer languages, we also use variables as storage for values which may be useful to us while a program is running, and normally, in computer programs, these variables can be of different types. | | | ECMAScript provides a number of builtin objects, which we shall examine now, as well as the ability for programmers to define their own object types, with specified properties and methods. |

| | Quick-and-dirty Java programming |
| | In fact, EcmaScript is the result of an attempt to standardize on a single dialect of the JavaScript language -- enabling code on Web pages to work across browsers from all vendors (but mainly between Netscape and Microsoft browsers because they own a lion's share of the install base). | | | The EcmaScript component offers only the core language features -- the primitive data types, expression evaluation, flow control, etc. To do anything useful, you must use the language to manipulate objects exposed by the host environment to the script language. | | | But in the real world of everyday computing (and development), there are many situations where "whipping up a Java program" to perform a task is either impractical or too time consuming. |

| | Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - The Web Standards Project |
| | The main use of ECMAScript, which is an object-based language, is to manipulate the objects in web pages which are specified by the Document Object Model (DOM). | | | This lets web developers implement such effects as animated text, graphic roll-overs, and pages that change based on user input without having to be reloaded. | | | These objects (effectively, the elements which make up web pages, or the web pages as a wholes) can then be added to, deleted, moved, or have their properties changed. |

| | Because ECMAScript is available in so many places and is so versatile it can sometimes be a little daunting to find exactly what it is you are looking for when working with the language. | | | The vast majority of the objects you manipulate will be from the remaining categories ECMAScript (dealing with the primitive language objects of Dates, Strings and Numbers) or Document (dealing with document related objects like Nodes, Elements, Attributes, etc.). | | | So as an example say you want to find details on the avg() method which sums up a list of values, divides by the number of values present, and returns a single value. |
