setTime method
Sets the value of a date object.
语法
dateObjectName.setTime(timevalue)
dateObjectName is either the name of a date object or a property of an existing object.
timevalue is an integer or a property of an existing object, representing the number of milliseconds since the epoch (1 January 1970 00:00:00).
方法
描述

getTime method
setTimeout method
Evaluates an expression after a specified number of milliseconds have elapsed.
语法timeoutID=setTimeout(expression, msec)
timeoutID is an identifier that is used only to cancel the evaluation with the clearTimeout method.
expression is a string expression or a property of an existing object.
msec is a numeric value, numeric string, or a property of an existing object in millisecond units.
方法
描述
The setTimeout method evaluates an expression after a specified amount of time. It does not evaluate the expression repeatedly. For example, if a setTimeout method specifies 5 seconds, the expression is evaluated after 5 seconds, not every 5 seconds.
例子
Example 1. The following example displays an alert message 5 seconds (5,000 milliseconds) after the user clicks a button. If the user clicks the second button before the alert message is displayed, the timeout is canceled and the alert does not display.
Click the button on the left for a reminder in 5 seconds;
click the button on the right to cancel the reminder before
it is displayed.
Example 2. The following example displays the current time in a text object. The showtime() function, which is called recursively, uses the setTimeout method update the time every second.

document.write(worldString.small())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.big())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.fontsize(7))
The previous example produces the same output as the following htm: <SMALL>Hello, world</SMALL>

document.write("<P>The square root of -1 is " + Math.sqrt(-1))
SQRT1_2 property
The square root of one-half; equivalently, one over the square root of two, approximately 0.707.
语法Math.SQRT1_2
Property of
描述
Because SQRT1_2 is a constant, it is a read-only property of Math.
例子
The following example displays 1 over the square root of 2: document.write("1 over the square root of 2 is " + Math.SQRT1_2)

status property
Specifies a priority or transient message in the status bar at the bottom of the window, such as the message that appears when a mouseOver event occurs over an anchor.
语法windowReference.status
windowReference is a valid way of referring to a window, as described in the window object.
Property of
描述
Do not confuse the status property with the defaultStatus property. The defaultStatus property reflects the default message displayed in the status bar.
You can set the status property at any time. You must return true if you want to set the status property in the onMouseOver event handler.
例子
Suppose you have created a JavaScript function called pickRandomURL() that lets you select a URL at random. You can use the onClick event handler of an anchor to specify a value for the HREF attribute of the anchor dynamically, and the onMouseOver event handler to specify a custom message for the window in the status property: Go!
In the above example, the status property of the window is assigned to the window's self property, as self.status. As this example shows, you must return true to set the status property in the onMouseOver event handler.

strike method
Causes a string to be displayed as struck out text as if it were in a <STRIKE> tag.
语法stringName.strike()
stringName is any string or a property of an existing object.

例子The following example uses string methods to change the formatting of a string: var worldString="Hello, world"
document.write(worldString.blink())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.bold())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.italics())
document.write("<P>" + worldString.strike())
The previous example produces the same output as the following htm: <BLINK>Hello, world</BLINK>
<P><B>Hello, world</B>
<P><I>Hello, world</I>
<P><STRIKE>Hello, world</STRIKE>

submit object
onSubmit event handler
submit object
A submit button on an htm form. A submit button causes a form to be submitted.
语法
To define a submit button, use standard htm 语法 with the addition of the onClick event handler: <INPUT
TYPE="submit"
NAME="submitName"
VALUE="buttonText"
[onClick="handlerText"]>
NAME="submitName" specifies the name of the submit object. You can access this value using the name property.
VALUE="buttonText" specifies the label to display on the button face. You can access this value using the value property.
To use a submit object's properties and methods: 1. submitName.propertyName
2. submitName.methodName(parameters)
3. formName.elements[index].propertyName
4. formName.elements[index].methodName(parameters)
submitName is the value of the NAME attribute of a submit object.
formName is either the value of the NAME attribute of a form object or an element in the forms array.
index is an integer representing a submit object on a form.
propertyName is one of the properties listed below.
methodName is one of the methods listed below.
Property of
描述
A submit object on a form looks as follows:
A submit object is a form element and must be defined within a <FORM> tag.
Clicking a submit button submits a form to the URL specified by the form's action property. This action always loads a new page into the client; it may be the same as the current page, if the action so specifies or is not specified.
The submit button's onClick event handler cannot prevent a form from being submitted; instead, use the form's onSubmit event handler or use the submit method instead of a submit object. See the 例子 for the form object.
Properties
name reflects the NAME attribute
value reflects the VALUE attribute
Methods

例子
The following example creates a submit object called submit_button. The text "Done" is displayed on the face of the button.

substring method
Returns a subset of a string object.
语法stringName.substring(indexA, indexB)
stringName is any string or a property of an existing object.
indexA is any integer from 0 to stringName.length - 1, or a property of an existing object.
indexB is any integer from 0 to stringName.length - 1, or a property of an existing object.
方法
描述
Characters in a string are indexed from left to right. The index of the first character is 0, and the index of the last character is stringName.length - 1.
If indexA is less than indexB, the substring method returns the subset starting with the character at indexA and ending with the character before indexB. If indexA is greater than indexB, the substring method returns the subset starting with the character at indexB and ending with the character before indexA. If indexA is equal to indexB, the substring method returns the empty string.
例子The following example uses substring to display characters from the string "Netscape". var anyString="Netscape"
//Displays "Net"
document.write(anyString.substring(0,3))
document.write(anyString.substring(3,0))
//Displays "cap"
document.write(anyString.substring(4,7))
document.write(anyString.substring(7,4))
sup method

var subText="subscript"
document.write("This is what a " + superText.sup() + " looks like.")
document.write("<P>This is what a " + subText.sub() + " looks like.")
The previous example produces the same output as the following htm: This is what a <SUP>superscript</SUP> looks like.
<P>This is what a <SUB>subscript</SUB> looks like.
