From Overview of JavaScript I -- Basic Web Scripting Language CPS616 Technologies of the Information Age -- Spring Semester 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox (Tom Scavo)
JavaScript Syntax for Foil 31
1 JavaScript syntax resembles Java and C
2 Braces { } are used for grouping
3 Use single or double quotes (equivalently) around string literals
4 Escapes: \b \t \n \f \r \" \' \\
5 Other literals: null, true, and false
6 JavaScript is case-sensitive while HTML is not (which sometimes leads to problems!)
