var MyThing = new Object();This object exists at the same usefulness quantum level as a "glass hammer" or a "chocolate BBQ" as it contains no properties and has no methods. Think of MyThing as the Paris Hilton of JS variables. Rather than an "it-girl" it is a "it-var", superficially interesting enough to take on one date, but the resulting sex tape would be crap.
var MyDate = new Date();are examples of creating an object that represents a date and time. You can do lots of interesting things with the JS date object which you can explore here.
or
var MyNextHangover = new Date(2009,01,01)
var MyCockTail = {Would create a JS object that holds the details of a particularly tasty if oddly named cocktail.
name: "Sex on the beach",
price: 3.50,
type: "Fruity",
glass: "Highball",
garnish: "Lime Wedge"
}
var MyCockTail = {This is the same as the previous example except I have added a new property to the object named mix which is an object itself containing the properties shotA,shotB,shotC and shotD.
name: "Sex on the beach",
price: 3.50,
type: "Fruity",
glass: "Highball",
garnish: "Lime Wedge",
mix: {
shotA: "2 x Vodka",
shotB: "1 x Peach schnapps",
shotC: "3 x Orange Juice",
shotD: "3 x Cranberry Juice"
}
}
If the user clicks on the SPAN the following happens:
document.getElementById('div1').addEventListener('click',dothis,false)
document.getElementById('span1').addEventListener('click',dothat,false)
Now if the user clicks on SPAN the following happens:
function dothis(e)
{
if (!e) var e = window.event;
e.cancelBubble = true;
if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
... rest of your code goes here ;
}
OK? Does that make sense?
I will expound more on events and the fun things you can do to mess with
your user's head in a future post.
