Basic getting started with html and javascript.md
Raw
Index.md

This a small collection of getting-started-with-html-and-javascript samples that I created for coding beginners. Each link takes you to a code page hosted on jsFiddle where you can see the html/javascript code and how it renders on the screen. You can also play with the code in the jsFiddle editor to begin your own exploration and tinkering with html/javascript.

(Look for comments on each example in the lower javascript panel of the jsFiddle page.)
