<h2 id="Dimana_saya_dapat_mencari_informasi_tentang_JavaScript_.3F">Dimana saya dapat mencari informasi tentang JavaScript ?</h2>
<p>Dokumentasi JavaScript dapat anda temukan pada buku berikut ini:</p>
<ul>
 <li><a href="/en/JavaScript/Guide" title="en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide">JavaScript Guide</a> (this guide) provides information about JavaScript language and its objects.</li>
 <li><a href="/en/JavaScript/Reference" title="en/JavaScript/Reference">JavaScript Reference</a> provides reference material for JavaScript language.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are new to JavaScript, start with the <a href="/en/JavaScript/Guide" title="en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide">JavaScript Guide</a>. Once you have a firm grasp of the fundamentals, you can use the <a href="/en/JavaScript/Reference" title="en/JavaScript/Reference">JavaScript Reference</a> to get more details on individual objects and statements.</p>
<h2 id="Tips_for_learning_JavaScript">Tips for learning JavaScript</h2>
<p>Getting started with JavaScript is easy: all you need is a modern Web browser. This guide includes some JavaScript features which are only currently available in the latest versions of Firefox (and other Gecko powered browsers), so using the most recent version of Firefox is recommended.</p>
<p>There are two tools built into Firefox that are useful for experimenting with JavaScript: the Web Console and Scratchpad.</p>
<h3 id="The_Web_Console">The Web Console</h3>
<p>The <a href="/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console">Web Console</a> shows you information about the currently loaded Web page, and also includes a <a href="/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console#The_command_line_interpreter">command line</a> that you can use to execute JavaScript expressions in the current page.</p>
<p>To open the Web Console, select "Web Console" from the "Web Developer" menu, which is under the "Tools" menu in Firefox. It appears at the bottom of the browser window. Along the bottom of the console is a command line that you can use to enter JavaScript, and the output appears in the pane above:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/7363/web-console-commandline.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></p>
<h3 id="Scratchpad">Scratchpad</h3>
<p>The Web Console is great for executing single lines of JavaScript, but although you can execute multiple lines, it's not very convenient for that, and you can't save your code samples using the Web Console. So for more complex examples <a href="/en-US/docs/Tools/Scratchpad">Scratchpad</a> is a better tool.</p>
<p>To open Scratchpad, select "Scratchpad" from the "Web Developer" menu, which is under the "Tools" menu in Firefox. It opens in a separate window and is an editor that you can use to write and execute JavaScript in the browser. You can also save scripts to disk and load them from disk.</p>
<p>If you choose "Inspect", the code in your pad is executed in the browser and the result is inserted back into the pad as a comment:</p>

<h2 id="Document_conventions">Document conventions</h2>
<p>JavaScript applications run on many operating systems; the information in this book applies to all versions. File and directory paths are given in Windows format (with backslashes separating directory names). For Unix versions, the directory paths are the same, except that you use slashes instead of backslashes to separate directories.</p>
<p>This guide uses uniform resource locators (URLs) of the following form:</p>
<p><code>https://<em>server</em>.<em>domain</em>/<em>path</em>/<em>file</em>.html</code></p>
<p>In these URLs, <em>server</em> represents the name of the server on which you run your application, such as <code>research1</code> or <code>www</code>; <em>domain</em> represents your Internet domain name, such as <code>netscape.com</code> or <code>uiuc.edu</code>; <em>path</em> represents the directory structure on the server; and <em>file</em><code>.html</code> represents an individual file name. In general, items in italics in URLs are placeholders and items in normal monospace font are literals. If your server has Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) enabled, you would use <code>https</code> instead of <code>http</code> in the URL.</p>
<p>This guide uses the following font conventions:</p>
<ul>
 <li><code>The monospace font</code> is used for sample code and code listings, API and language elements (such as method names and property names), file names, path names, directory names, HTML tags, and any text that must be typed on the screen. (<code><em>Monospace italic font</em></code> is used for placeholders embedded in code.)</li>
 <li><em>Italic type</em> is used for book titles, emphasis, variables and placeholders, and words used in the literal sense.</li>
 <li><strong>Boldface</strong> type is used for glossary terms.</li>
