Can a salesforce custom button have some javascript in it?

Question

What is the current way to do a custom button with some js in it?

We are building a custom button that needs to be able to read from the current contact (email address, phone, mailing address), and run a few lines of js. (We also need to create a call record.)

But how/where is this done in salesforce these days?

This page doesn't point me anywhere: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=customize_enterprise.htm

And this explanation of the new method in Lightning isn't clear where the js lives: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000BWr4IAG

Where is the needed example/doc?

If you are using buttons on custom visualforce page there are no any problems with defining custom JS function for it. For example, if you use <apex:commandButton/> you can use such attributes as onclick, onkeydown, onkeyup and other. See more information in documentation.

If you are using buttons on object layouts, you can create custom button and chose executing of JS as a behavior, see attached screenshot.

If you mean some other cases, please, describe it.
