CSC 230: The Week beginning Nov. 11

Homework:

Provide a brief definition of the following terms (in the JavaScript programming context):
- Parse
- Token
- Delimiter
- JSON
- jQuery
If you use a source (book or web site), cite your source. (The sites http://whatis.techtarget.com/ and http://www.webopedia.com/ are decent sources for technical definitions.)
Horror Movies Make a page that resembles the interface below

(Based on http://www.imdb.com/chart/horror.)

Take the text from the file HorrorMovies2.txt which is among the files found when you extract OhTheHorror.zip. That file has information about individual movies separated by # signs. The information about a movie uses | as a delimiter and includes the following: a MovieRank, a MovieRating, a MovieTitle, a MovieImage, a MovieNumber (of Voters) and a MovieDescription. For example,

17|8|Night of the Living Dead (1968)|NightLivingDead.jpg|39,844|A group of people hide from bloodthirsty zombies in a farmhouse.

Declare, instantiate, and initialize arrays based on this data. Enter the ranks and titles into a select element. When the user selects a movie, the corresponding image and description should be displayed in an image element and a div. Another div should something like “After YYY responses, the average rating is ZZZ.” Where YYY is the number of voters and ZZZ is the rank. Have a drop-down select (with values 1 to 10) that allows the user to rate the movie. Also have a Button that adds the user’s rating (movie title, a dash, and a rating) to a textarea.
