This tutorial is designed for a college-level class in Web development. Focus is on the basic structure and use of the JavaScript language and its application to XHTML page components to create dynamic Web Pages. It is not full coverage of JavaScript nor of the myriad ways to apply DHTML through this browser scripting language. It does, though, provide a basic toolkit of approaches to illustrate possibilities.

The tutorial assumes general familiarity with programming methods and common language constructs. It also assumes working knowledge of XHTML and good familiarity with Cascading Style Sheets.
