This seminar is designed for web page makers who want to learn the JavaScript programming language and it's concepts, and how to deploy the features built into JavaScript-enabled web browsers on their web sites. Custom made JavaScript functions will validate user input to web pages and provide feedback to web surfers via dialog boxes and alert controls. Participants in this seminar will distinguish between local and global variables, JavaScript objects and math objects, and JavaScript strings and arrays. Clear and attractive web pages will be designed using frames, windows, and interactive HTML objects. Testing web pages will be performed with a browser like Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer in offline mode. Where applicable, web pages are uploaded and installed on a real website. Format: Lecture, demonstration, laboratory work, conversation.
