JavaScript is a powerful programming language that can be used to add dynamic and interactive features to websites. Here are some examples of website features built with JavaScript:
- Interactive forms: JavaScript can be used to create interactive forms that validate user input, provide feedback, and send data to a server. An example use of this is the UltimateWB registration form, contact form, mailing list form, and Forms Builder app.
- Animated elements: JavaScript can be used to create animated elements on a web page, such as moving banners, menus, and sliders. An example use of this is the UltimateWB dynamic multi-level navigation drop down menus, photo galleries, slideshows, and mosaic grid (photo collage with draggable elements).
- Dynamic content: JavaScript can be used to dynamically update the content of a web page, such as displaying different content to users based on their location, interests, or other factors. It is also used in the UltimateWB website builder Forms Builder app and other forms like the Post Ad form in the Classifieds app, to show content based on what options are chosen.
- Games: JavaScript can be used to create simple and complex games that can be played on a web page.
- Real-time applications: JavaScript can be used to create real-time applications, such as chat rooms and stock tickers. An example of this is some elements of the UltimateWB Chat app.
In addition to these specific examples, JavaScript can be used to create any type of website feature that requires dynamic or interactive behavior. The great thing about JavaScript is that it is mobile friendly, unlike the discontinued Flash. If you’re not a coder, no worries, UltimateWB website builder handles all this backend coding for you.
