Session Aims & Objectives• Aims

– introduce you to the fundamental aspects of dynamic (interactive) web pages via client-side scripting

• Objectives, after this week’s sessions, you should be able to:– Add objects to a web-page– Create Event Handler Procedures to do things in

response to an event of a object– Put Assignment instructions in the event handler,

that change the value of properties at run-time– Use control structures (iteration, conditions)

M Dixon 5

Dynamic processing (what)

• HTML is static– identical on each load– very limiting

• Dynamic processing– client-side: browser (this week)

• quicker (no request-response cycle)• insecure (view source)• limited (can't access server-side databases)

– server-side: server application (next term)• slower• more powerful

M Dixon 6

Example: Colour ChangeTrigger (when) Actions (what)Click event of Red button

Change background to Red

MouseOver event of Red button

Make button text capitals (RED)

MouseOut event of Red button

Make button text normal (Red)

Click event of Blue button

Change background to Blue

MouseOver event of Blue button

Make button text capitals (BLUE)

MouseOut event of Blue button

Make button text normal (Blue)

• Events:– Click: user releases left

mouse button on object– MouseOver: mouse

moves over object– MouseOut: mouse

mouse moves off object

<Input> Tags<html> <head><title>Colour Change</title></head> <body> <input id="btnRed" type="button" value="Red" onclick="btnRed_OnClick()" onmouseover="btnRed_OnMouseOver()" onmouseout="btnRed_OnMouseOut()" /> <input id="btnBlue" type="button" value="Blue" /> </body></html>

<script language="javascript"> function btnRed_OnClick(){ document.bgColor = "red"; }

function btnRed_OnMouseOver(){ btnRed.value = "RED"; }

function btnRed_OnMouseOut(){ btnRed.value = "Red"; }</script>

• Use <input> tagsto create buttons

M Dixon 8

<Script> Tag<html> <head><title>Colour Change</title></head> <body> <input id="btnRed" type="button" value="Red" onclick="btnRed_OnClick()" onmouseover="btnRed_OnMouseOver()" onmouseout="btnRed_OnMouseOut()" /> <input id="btnBlue" type="button" value="Blue" /> </body></html>

<script language="javascript"> function btnRed_OnClick(){ document.bgColor = "red"; }

function btnRed_OnMouseOver(){ btnRed.value = "RED"; }

function btnRed_OnMouseOut(){ btnRed.value = "Red"; }</script>

JavaScript

• Use <script> tags to enclose script code

Event Handler Procedures<html> <head><title>Colour Change</title></head> <body> <input id="btnRed" type="button" value="Red" onclick="btnRed_OnClick()" onmouseover="btnRed_OnMouseOver()" onmouseout="btnRed_OnMouseOut()" /> <input id="btnBlue" type="button" value="Blue" /> </body></html>

<script language="javascript"> function btnRed_OnClick(){ document.bgColor = "red"; }

Can't touch this

• Student work from last week:

based on work done by Daniel Thornton & David Orrock

Questions

• name: event, object, property, event handler, operator, function, expression

<script language="javascript"> function window_onLoad(){ imgHammer.style.posLeft = 500; imgHammer.style.posTop = 100; imgHammer.style.height = 100; imgHammer.style.width = 75; sndPlayer.URL = "Hammer.wav"; }

function imgHammer_onMouseOver(){ imgHammer.style.posLeft = Math.random() * (document.body.clientWidth - imgHammer.width); imgHammer.style.posTop = Math.random() * (document.body.clientHeight - imgHammer.height); }</script>

M Dixon 13

Example: Puppy<html> <head><title>Freya's web page</title></head> <body> <p>Welcome, <b>Freya's</b> web page.</p> <p>Freya likes her <a href="toy.wmv">toy</a>.</p> <center><img id="picFace" src="Face.jpg" /></center> <input id="btnPuppy" type="button" value="Large" onclick="btnPuppy_OnClick()" /> </body></html>

<script language="javascript"> function btnPuppy_OnClick(){ document.title = "Freya (large image)"; picFace.src = "FaceLarge.jpg"; }</script>

M Dixon 14

Example: Puppy (code)<html> <head><title>Freya's web page</title></head> <body> <p>Welcome, <b>Freya's</b> web page.</p> <p>Freya likes her <a href="toy.wmv">toy</a>.</p> <center><img id="picFace" src="Face.jpg" /></center> <input id="btnPuppy" type="button" value="Large" onclick="btnPuppy_OnClick()" /> </body></html>

<script language="javascript"> function btnPuppy_OnClick(){ document.title = "Freya (large image)" picFace.src = "FaceLarge.jpg" }</script>

Script ignored,until button pressed

picture and button,given identifiers (names)

M Dixon 15

Example: Sound<html> <head><title>Sound</title></head> <body> <object id="sndPlayer" classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" style="width:0px; height:0px;"> </object> <input id="btnFart" type="button" value="Fart" onclick="btnFart_onClick" /> </body></html>

<script language="JavaScript"> function btnFart_onClick(){ sndPlayer.URL = "Fart.wav" }</script>

Meet George

• Common Boa Constrictor– boa constrictor imperator

• Native toCentral & SouthAmerica

• No venom(no poison)

M Dixon 17

Looking after George

• Problem:– Difficult to keep– Require temperature and humidity controlled

environment– Much of the literature is from the US

• Temperature in Fahrenheit: 80-85F day, 78F minimum at night (P Vosjoli 1998)

• Solution– Need a program to convert from Celsius to

Fahrenheit

M Dixon 18

Example: Temp (Spec)•User Requirements

– describe user's objectivesno mention of technology

•Software Requirements– Functional

• list facilities to be provided (often numbered)

– Non-functional• list desired characteristics

(often more subjective)

SPECIFICATION• User Requirements

– help snake keeper convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius

• Software Requirements– Functional:

–enter Fahrenheit value

–display Celsius value– Non-functional

should be quick and easy to use

M Dixon 19

Example: Temp (User Interface)

<html> <head><title>Temperature</title></head> <body> <p>Fahrenheit: <input id="txtFah" type="text" style="background-color: lime" /> <input id="btnCalc" type="button" value="Calculate" /></p> <p id="parCel" style="background-color: Yellow; width: 100px;">0</p> </body></html>

M Dixon 20

Example: Temp (code)<html> <head><title>Temperature</title></head> <body> <p>Fahrenheit: <input id="txtFah" style="background-color: lime" type="text" /> <input id="btnCalc" type="button" value="Calculate" onclick="btnCalc_onClick()" /></p> <p id="parCel" style="background-color: Yellow; width: 100px;">0</p> </body></html>

<script language="JavaScript"> function btnCalc_onClick(){ parCel.innerText = ((txtFah.value - 32) * 5) / 9; }</script>

Example: Student Loan (Analysis)

• What: Calculate annual student load repayment from salary

• How:

• Algorithm:– read annual salary– deduct £15000– calculate 9%– display result

M Dixon 22

Example: Student Loan (Design)• When Calculate button

is clicked:– read annual salary text

box– deduct £15000– calculate 9%– put result in paragraph

• Test Data: Input Process Output

– £15000 15000-15000*0.09 = £0– £16000 16000-15000*0.09 = £90

Tutorial Exercise: Colour Change• LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

to understand objects, events, properties, and event handler procedures, so that you can create dynamic content in your web-pages

• TASK 1: Get the Red button from the Colour Change example working. (the code is provided)

• TASK 2: Get the Blue button working. (You will need to work out what code to use. Use the code provided as inspiration)

• TASK 3: Add another button (you choose the colour).

M Dixon 24

Tutorial Exercise: Puppy• LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

to understand objects, events, properties, and event handler procedures, so that you can create dynamic content in your web-pages

• TASK 1: Get the Puppy example working. (code provided, images in resources area on server).

• TASK 2: Add a button, which changes the image back to the smaller picture.

M Dixon 25

Tutorial Exercises: Temperature• LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

to assign a value to a object's property,• using combination of literal values, operators, functions, and

identifiers

• Task 1: get the temperature example working• Task 2: modify the temperature example so that it has two extra buttons – a

plus and minus to increase and decrease the input temperature (Fahrenheit)

M Dixon 26

Tutorial Exercises: Student Loan• LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

implement an algorithm in code

• Task 1: Create the user interface (page design) for the Student Loan example (from the lecture), using HTML tags (you will need a text box, a button, and a paragraph).

• Task 2: Add code that implements the following algorithm:When the Calculate button is clicked:– read annual salary text box– deduct £15000– calculate 9%– put result in paragraph

• Task 3: Modify your program so that it calculates and displays monthly income and repayment amounts (as well an annual).
