Welcome back to my series covering JavaScript Objects. In the last issue we discussed the Object String properties and some of the Object String methods. In this episode we will continue our discussion of the Object String methods and how to use them.
JavaScript Objects: More on String Methods - Working with the ConCat() Method (Page 3 of 6 )
The ConCat() method allows you to join two or more strings together. Say you have a program with a first name, last name, and a title. You might want to join the two names together. This is how you can do so:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var firstname="Leroy "
var secondname="Brown"
var title="Baddest Man in the Whole Damn Town"
var linebreak=("<br />")
document.write(firstname.concat(secondname))
document.write(linebreak)
document.write(title)
</script>
</body>
</html>
This would result in the following being displayed to the browser:
Leroy Brown Baddest Man in the Whole Damn Town
Fixing It With the Fixed() Method
The Fixed() method allows you to create Teletype text, like so:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var news="James Payne wins his third Nobel Prize for Literature!"
document.write("<p>This just in: " + news.fixed() + "</p>")
</script>
</body>
</html>
This would result in the following:
This just in: James Payne wins his third Nobel Prize for Literature!
