Domain name is the name which we usually type on the web browser address bar. For example, we may type http://www.apple.com on the address bar, here www.apple.com is the domain name.

  Understanding the "this" keyword in JavaScript

Many people get tripped up by the this keyword in JavaScript. I think the confusion comes from people reasonably expecting this to work like “this” does in Java or the way people use “self” in Python. Although this is sometimes used to similar effect, it’s nothing like “this” in Java or other languages. And while it’s a little harder to understand, its behavior isn’t magic. In fact, this follows a relatively small set of simple rules. This...

If a shorter delay is specified, the actual delay will be the minimum delay length. Even with higher numbers, the delay i...
