var obj = new Object(); or var obj = {};

Both JavaScript and Jscript are almost similar. JavaScript was developed by Netscape. Microsoft reverse engineered Javascript and called it JScript.

Using global variables in Javascript is evil and a bad practice. That being said, namespacing is used to bundle up all your functionality using a unique name. In JavaScript, a namespace is really just an object that you’ve attached all further methods, properties and objects. It promotes modularity and code reuse in the application.

CDATA - (Unparsed) Character Data

The term CDATA is used when you dont want some text data to be parsed by the XML parser.

A CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>": 

To send the characters that can not be specified in a URL should be converted into their equivalent hex encoding. To perform this task the methods encodeURI() and decodeURI() are used.

For example, the following code snippet performs the encoding of URL:

<script type="text/javascript">

          var uri = https://www.mysite.com/city?=Banglore; // original URI

          var ncodeuri=encodeURI(uri);

          document.write("<br />ncodeuri”);

          var dcodeuri = decodeURI(ncodeuri); 

          document.write(“<br>/>dcodeuri”);

</script>

- Frames make it easier to navigate through a site. 

- The links that appear in the frame can appear through out the site.

-The shift() method is similar as the pop() method but the difference is that Shift method works at the beginning of the array. 

-The shift() method take the first element off of the given array and returns it. The array on which is called is then altered.

For example

var myarray = ["apple ", "banana ", "mango "]; 

console.log(myarray.shift());

console.log(myarray);

we get the following console output:

apple

["banana ", "mango "];

When we call shift() on an empty array, it will return an undefined value.

It Return true if the argument is not a number.
