Almost in every website you can find a hint of JavaScript codes these days. First of all, what is JavaScript? JavaScript is a prototype based scripting language supporting object-oriented, imperative and functional programming styles. It provides enhanced user interface and dynamic websites. JavaScript not only provides you a great functionality and flexible environment in client section but also makes your apps faster and user friendly.
With the world developing on a rapid pace, developers have provided great new JavaScript frameworks which are really useful. You can even develop your own codes if you are the do-it-on-your-own type. Or you can go through some of the frameworks with lots of resources and plug-ins like jQuery & MooTools.
I started learning JavaScript some few months ago with the help of my mentors and online courses, and I can surely say that with JavaScript nothing is impossible. JavaScript has so many advanced features and special effects that it always has a solution for your problems. For instance whether you want to display an animated banner on your webpage or you just want to create a simple and interactive website with a sliding photo gallery, JavaScript will come to your rescue.
JavaScript has been contributing to enhance the user interface with so many ways that I cannot express it in a single blog post. But I will try to include a few of the most impressive and effective JavaScript techniques that I have come across with.
Scrolling Effects
To create an exciting browsing experience scrolling effects are a must for your website. You can select from a wide variety of effects, such as having different elements scroll along resembling multiple backgrounds moving at different speeds, adding a delicate treat to your website. With these kinds of effects viewers are given an increased sense of depth in the design. In addition to adding visual interest, user’s web experience become more vibrant and rich.
Sliding Effects
By writing just a few little lines of codes, you can create photo galleries and slides along with fancy animation schemes using texts and objects similar to flash animations. You can also control where each item in your slideshow animates in and out from by setting different start positions for each frame. Furthermore you can choose to slide images by using keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks, further enhancing user interactivity. With sliding images you can show multiple content in the same page and attract the viewers’ attention
Image Zoom Effect
One of the coolest JavaScript effects which I have come across is Image Zoom Effect. It’s one of the best ways to display images in unbelievable detail. It can zoom in images with different zoom levels with a smooth effect, providing the user with the smallest details and contributing to provide a consistent, reliable and highly interactive user interface.
Dynamically Changing Style Effect
Another eye-catching effect of JavaScript is to change the style of certain html elements in real time and save the style setting to MySQL database table enabling the user to choose styles on their own providing the ultimate user personalization. This effect will surely attract a lot of viewers to your webpage as it is both user-friendly and interactive.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
JavaScript is a vast language and I am sure that there are lots of other useful techniques and effects which can craft creative and functional user interfaces and unfortunately that’s all for now. And before I wind up it is noteworthy to remind you that all these effects may not come handy together at the same time. My advice is not to use these effects just because they are unique and eye-catching, but use them if you think it will help your web to become a better and more effective website.
