Whether you’re creating a new game, or simply checking a form over, JavaScript strings form a foundational part of your web coding. So let’s dive in. What Are JavaScript Strings? A string is a collection of letters, numbers and special characters surrounded with either ” ” or ‘ ‘.

Following on from the epic tutorial on JavaScript Arrays and Loops, this is a much shorter one to give you a breather! In that tutorial we were using what are called JavaScript Conditional Statements – i.e. we want to perform certain actions based on defined conditions. One condition was the value of action.

Users can do all sorts on your website – the question is what do you want to “listen” for? Inline JavaScript and Event Handlers One of the simplest ways of triggering something…
