Today’s topic is JavaScript and jQuery.
- JavaScript site of the day from: Yadi
Remember that Java is not JavaScript (see Web Teacher link below), and that
EVENT+OBJECT=ACTION defines what JavaScript does (here is a demo of event handlers).JavaScript is used in HTML & CSS Chapter 9. There are lots of sites and resources that deal with JavaScript, often under the heading of DHTML.. Some other standards include:
- Dynamic Drive with free scripts including Lightbox 2.0 and my Lightbox demo
- Website Abstractions with good Q&A and scripts
- A basic tutorial from Web Teacher
- A PDF from TutorialsPoint
- Good up-to-date overview at Eloquent JavaScript
Most important, understand the code behind this demo that I put together using mainly pre-defined functions, plus the Last updated script on this page.We will then write a script to output the sum of 2 numbers. Start with this blank HTML page. Also, here is the CSS two-column grid we did in class if you still need a grid for the website or the revision.
