Foil 31 Basic Syntax

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
JavaScript syntax resembles Java and C
Braces { } are used for grouping
Use single or double quotes (equivalently) around string literals
Escapes: \b \t \n \f \r \" \' \\
Other literals: null, true, and false
JavaScript is case-sensitive while HTML is not (which sometimes leads to problems!)
