JavaScript is a simple, yet powerful programming language that adds interactivity to otherwise static Web pages. You can use JavaScript to validate data, such as credit card information, in HTML forms; create dynamic pull-down menus; run animated slideshows; and display attention-getting rotating banners. JavaScript is also favored by web professionals for tracking Web pages using Google Analytics, and for creating Paypal merchant services.
