JavaScript Language Reference

[!INCLUDEjavascript] is a scripting language that can be embedded in web pages and other applications.

This documentation describes the Microsoft implementation of JavaScript, which is compliant with the ECMAScript Language Specification 5th Edition. It also provides additional features that are not included in the ECMA Standards.

You can use [!INCLUDEjavascript] code in browser applications together with HTML, CSS and the Document Object Model (DOM), which represents HTML and browser objects.

You can also use [!INCLUDEjavascript] code in Windows Store apps that run on [!INCLUDEwin8] and [!INCLUDEwin81], and in Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps that run on Windows 10. Windows Store apps can be developed in [!INCLUDEvs_dev11_long], [!INCLUDEvs_dev12], and [!INCLUDEvs_dev14]; UWP apps can be developed in [!INCLUDEvs_dev14].

The JavaScript editor in Visual Studio provides IntelliSense support. For more information, see JavaScript IntelliSense.
