<html> Topic 12

Topic:

Java Script is Not Writing in Coffee

This Week's Goals:

JavaScript is a relatively easy programming language you can use to add features to your web page. This week you will see some of the features available and how to add these to your html. We will also give some thought to the issue of restraint when using fun gimmicks.

What to do This Week:

1. If you did not see the alert box when this page loaded or the corny message about java beans, enable the JavaScript on your browser. If you need help, see the Webmonkey guide to enabling JavaScript.

2. Read one or both of the following introductions:

Jeff Ziegler's Introduction to JavaScript at Webmonkey
the Project Cool Quick Start Guide to JavaScript.

3. Read the comments in the <script> link below.

4. Read Chapter 16 of Raggett on HTML 4.

This week's submission

5. Do this week's submission and post it on the web. If you need help, post your question to the ListServ with the topic of your message marked "Help for Unit 10."
