Client-Side Web Application Development with JavaScript
ISYS 350
Types of Web pages
• Static page:– The contents of a web page is predefined by
HTML tags and other mark up languages.• Example: david chao’s home page.
• Dynamic page– A web page includes contents produced by a
programming language when the page is opened.– Examples:
• Pages that display current date/time, visitor counter– Yahoo home page
• Pages that display results based on a database query.– Yahoo’s Finance/Enter symbol/Historical prices
Technologies for Creating Dynamic Pages
• Client-side technology– HTML and Browser Document Object Model (DOM) – JavaScript
• Server-side technology– Microsoft .Net– PHP– Java– Others
Example of Client-side Page using HTML, DOM and JavaScript
HTML Introduction• History:
– http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML• Standard
– The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)• HTML 4• HTML 5: <!DOCTYPE html>
– Multimedia controls• Video, audio, canvas
– Web storage: With HTML5, web pages can store data locally within the user's browser.
Online Resources for Learning HTML
• w3schools.com – http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
HTML Tags (Elements)• Heading section
– <head>, <title>, <meta>, <script>, etc.• Body section
– <body>, <p>, <h1> to <h6>, <a>, <br>– Formatting: <b>, <I>, <u>, <center>– Comment: <!-- comment -->– List <ul>– Image– Table: <table>, <tr>: a new row in table, <td>: a new cell in
a table row.– Form: <form>, <input>, <select>
HTML Attributes• HTML elements can have attributes that provide
additional information about an element.• Attributes are always specified in the start tag• Attributes come in name/value pairs like:
name="value“• Name and value are case-sensitive and lowercase is
recommended.• Examples:
– Id: Specifies a unique id for an element– title: Specifies extra information about an element
(displayed as a tool tip)
TABLE Tag<table id=“depTable“ border="1" width=“400"> <thead>
<tr><th>Year</th>
<th>Value at BeginYr</th><th>Dep During Yr</th>
<th>Total to EndOfYr</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody>
<tr> <td>1</td> <td>2000</td> <td>400</td> <td>400</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
FORM Tag• Form attributes:
– action: Specify the URL of a program on a server or an email address to which a form’s data will be submitted.
– method: • Get: the form’s data is appended to the URL specified by the
Action attribute as a QueryString.• Post: A preferred method for database processing. Form’s data is
sent in the HTTP body. – mame: Form’s name
QueryString• A QueryString is a set of name=value pairs appended
to a target URL.• It can be used to pass information from one
webpage to another.• To create a QueryString:
– Add a question mark (?) immediately after a URL.– Followed by name=value pairs separated by ampersands
(&).• Example: • <A Href=“http://my.com/Target.htm?CustID=C1&Cname=Chao”>

Creating HTML Form
Create a Form Using NetBean
Step by Step• 1. Add a form tag:
– Name property– Action: server-side program; leave it blank for client-side
• 2. Add lables by typing• 3. Add text input • 4. Add dropdown list:
– Number of options
• 5. Add radiobutton– All buttons belong to a group
• 6. Add button– Lable– Type:
• Submit – submit to a server• Standard – client-side
• 7. Add <br> to start a new line
Dropdown List Example
<select name="Rate"> <option value=.04>4%</option> <option value=045>4.5%</option> <option value=.05 >5%</option> <option value=.055>5.5%</option> <option value=.06>6%</option> </select>
RadioButton Example:RadioButtons having the same name
belong to one group
<input type="radio" name="Year" value=10 />10 year<<br><input type="radio" name="Year" value=15 />15 year<br><input type="radio" name="Year" value=30 />30 year<br>
<form name="fvForm" action=""> Enter PV: <input id='PV' type="text" name="PV" value="" /><br> Select Rate: <select name="Rate"> <option value=0.04>4%</option> <option value=0.045>4.5%</option> <option value=0.05>5%</option> <option value=0.055>5.5%</option> <option value=0.06>6%</option> <option value=0.065>6.5%</option> <option value=0.07>7%</option> </select><br> Select Year: <br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=10 />10 year<br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=15 />15 year<br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=30 />30 year<br> <br> Future Value: <input type="text" name="FV" /> <br> <input type="button" value="ComputeFV" name="btnCompute" onClick="ComputeFV()" /> </form>
Note: We can assign an id to a HTML tag (element).
HTML Tags and Events
• Link <a> </a>: click, mouseOver, mouseOut• Image <img>: abort(loading is interrupted), error,
load.• Area <area>: mouseOver, mouseOut• Body <body>: blur, error, focus, load, unload• Frameset: blur, error, focus, load, unload• Frame: blur, focus• Form: submit, reset• Textbox, Text area: blur, focus, change, select• Button, Radio button, check box: click• List: blur, focus, change
Event Handler
• Event handler name: on + event name– Ex. onClick
• Calling a handler:– onClick="CompSumJS()“– onClick="window.alert('you click me')"
– Note: single quote/double quote
Example of Event Handler<script > <!--function showSum(){ num1=parseFloat(window.prompt("Enter Num1: ")); num2=parseFloat(window.prompt("Enter Num2: ")); sum=num1+num2; window.alert("The sum is: " + eval(num1+num2)); window.alert("The sum is: " + sum);}--></script> </head> <body> <form name="testText"> <input type="text" id="text1" name="test" /> <input type="button" value="showTest" name="btnTest" onClick="showSum()"/> </form> </body>

Accessing data entered on a form• Textbox:
– document.fvForm.PV.value• Dropdown list:
– document.fvForm.Rate.options[document.fvForm.Rate.selectedIndex].value
• Radiobuttons:if (document.fvForm.Year[0].checked) {myYear=10;}else if (document.fvForm.Year[1].checked) {myYear=15;}else {myYear=30;}
CheckBox
document.LoanForm.checkBox1.checked
Alternative way using the id attribute
document.getElementById(“PV").value
JavaScript Reference
• http://w3schools.com/js/default.asp
Client Side Script
• <script>• ……• ..statements• </script>
JavaScript Variable Declaration
• var intrate, term, amount;• Data Type:
– Variant - a variable’s data type is determined when it is initialized to its first value.
• Variable scope:– Local: Variables declared in a function or procedure.– Global: Variables declared in the heading section, but not in a
function or procedure.
• Variable name is case-sensitive.• Note: We can use a variable without declare it.
Statements
• Statements:– End with “;”– Block of code: { }
• Comments:– Single-line comment: //comment– Block comment:
• /* comment comment */
Arrays
• var arrayName = new Array(array size);• var Pet = new Array(2);• Pet[0]=“dog”;• Pet[1]=“cat”;• Pet[2]=“bird”;
Operators• Arithmetic operators:
+, -, *, /, Math.pow(x,y), etc.• Math is an object with many methods such as round(x),
random(), sqrt(x), ceil(x), floor(x), etc.
• Comparison operators:= = , !=, <, >, <=, >=
• Logical operators:&&, ||, !

IF StatementsJS: if (condition) {
statements;}else {
statements;}
if (document.fvForm.Year[0].checked) {myYear=10;}else if (document.fvForm.Year[1].checked) {myYear=15;}else {myYear=30;}
Switch Case Statementsswitch(varable name) {case value1:
statements;break;
case value2:statements;break;
…default:
statements;break;
}
Loop Structures1. while (condition) {
statements;}
2. for (var I = 0; I<5;I=I+1){statements;
}
Note: Use Break statement to exit loop earlier.Ex. Break ;
JavaScript’s Conversion Functions• parseFloat:for conversion to a floating-point number:
– Ex. parseFloat('77.3') -> 77.3• parseInt: for string-to-integer conversion
– Ex. parseInt('123.45') -> 123• toString(), toFixed(n) example:
• Price=5;• Qty=10;• Amount=Price*Qty;• Document.write (Amount.toString());• Document.write (Amount.toFixed(2));
• eval• strVar = “5”;• numVar = eval(strVar)• Eval(Price*Qty)
Try Catch
try { //Run some code here } catch(err) { //Handle errors here }
window.prompt: similar to VB’s inputBoxwindow.alert: like MessageBox
function showSum(){ num1=parseFloat(window.prompt("Enter Num1: ")); num2=parseFloat(window.prompt("Enter Num2: ")); sum=num1+num2; window.alert("The sum is: " + eval(num1+num2)); window.alert("The sum is: " + sum);}
JavaScript Functions• Defining functions
– function functionName(arg1,..,argN){• Statements;• return return value;
– }
Note: 1. The arguments are optional.2. The return statement is optional. A JavaScript function is
not required to return a value.
Example: JavaScript to Compute the sum of two values
<script ><!--function ComputeSum(){n1=document.testForm.num1.value;n2=document.testForm.num2.value;document.testForm.valueSum.value=eval(n1)+eval(n2);}--></script>
JavaScript to compute the future value
<form name="fvForm" action=""> Enter PV: <input id='PV' type="text" name="PV" value="" /><br> Select Rate: <select name="Rate"> <option value=0.04>4%</option> <option value=0.045>4.5%</option> <option value=0.05>5%</option> <option value=0.055>5.5%</option> <option value=0.06>6%</option> <option value=0.065>6.5%</option> <option value=0.07>7%</option> </select><br> Select Year: <br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=10 />10 year<br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=15 />15 year<br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=30 />30 year<br> <br> Future Value: <input type="text" name="FV" /> <br> <input type="button" value="ComputeFV" name="btnCompute" onClick="ComputeFV()" /> </form>
Note: We can assign an id to a HTML tag (element).
<script><!--function ComputeFV(){//myPV=eval(document.fvForm.PV.value);myPV=parseFloat(document.fvForm.PV.value);//myRate=eval(document.fvForm.Rate.options[document.fvForm.Rate.selectedIndex].value);myRate=parseFloat(document.fvForm.Rate.options[document.fvForm.Rate.selectedIndex].value);if (document.fvForm.Year[0].checked) {myYear=10;}else if (document.fvForm.Year[1].checked) {myYear=15;}else {myYear=30;}fv=myPV*Math.pow(1+myRate,myYear);document.fvForm.FV.value=fv.toString();}--></script>
Code Example
Using document.getElementById<form name="fvForm"> Enter PV: <input type="text" id ="PV" name="PV" value="" size="10" /><br> <select name="Rate" id="Rate"> <option value=".04">4%</option> <option value=".05">5%</option> <option value=".06">6%</option> <option value=".07">7%</option> <option value=".08">8%</option> </select><br> Select Year: <br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=10 id="Year10" />10 year<br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=15 id="Year15" />15 year<br> <input type="radio" name="Year" value=30 id="Year30" />30 year<br> <br> Future Value: <input type="text" name="FV" /> <br> <input type="button" value="ComputeFV" name="btnCompute" onClick="ComputeFV()" />
function ComputeFV(){//myPV=eval(document.fvForm.PV.value);myPV=parseFloat(document.getElementById("PV").value);myRate=parseFloat(document.getElementById("Rate").value);if (document.getElementById("Year10").checked) {myYear=10;}else if (document.getElementById("Year15").checked) {myYear=15;}else {myYear=30;}fv=myPV*Math.pow(1+myRate,myYear);document.fvForm.FV.value=fv.toString();}
Years to Reach Goal
Code Example<script type="text/javascript"><!--function ComputeJS(){pv=eval(document.testForm.txtPv.value);rate=eval(document.testForm.txtRate.value);goal=eval(document.testForm.txtGoal.value);fv=0;for (i=1; i<=9999; ++i){ fv=pv*Math.pow(1+rate,i); if(fv>=goal){ document.testForm.yearNeeded.value=i; break; } }
}--></script>
Working with TableStraight Line Depreciation Table
HTML Table Tag
• <Table> : id and name attributes– <thead>: Table Heading section
• <tr>: new row– <th>: column heading
– <tbody>: data rows
HTML Form Code<body> Straight Line Depreciation Table <form name="depForm"> Enter Property Value: <input type="text" name="pValue" value="" /><br> Enter Property Life: <input type="text" name="pLife" value="" /><br> <input type="button" value="Show Table" name="btnShowTable" onclick="showTable()" /> </form> <table id="depTable" border="1" width="400" cellspacing="1"> <thead> <tr> <th>Year</th> <th>Value at BeginYr</th> <th>Dep During Yr</th> <th>Total to EndOfYr</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> </tbody> </table> </body>
Table/Row/Cell Object• Table object:
– Properties:• rows: collection of data rows (including the header row)
– rows.length: number of rows– 0-based index
– Methods:• InsertRow(index)• deleteTow(index)
• Data Row object method:– insertCell(index)
• Cell object:– innerHTML property: cell’s data
HTML element’s innerHTML property
• Each HTML element has an innerHTML property that defines both the HTML code and the text that occurs between that element's opening and closing tag. By changing an element's innerHTML after some user interaction, you can make much more interactive pages.
• Assigning a value:– document.getElementById(“p”).innerHTML = 5;
function showTable(){value=eval(document.depForm.pValue.value);life=eval(document.depForm.pLife.value);depreciation = value / life;var table = document.getElementById('depTable'); var totalDepreciation=0;
for(var i = table.rows.length - 1; i > 0; i--){ table.deleteRow(i);}for (count = 1; count <= life; count++) { var rowCount = table.rows.length; var row = table.insertRow(rowCount); var cell0 = row.insertCell(0); cell0.innerHTML=count; var cell1 = row.insertCell(1); cell1.innerHTML="$" + value.toFixed(2); var cell2 = row.insertCell(2); cell2.innerHTML="$" + depreciation.toFixed(2); totalDepreciation += depreciation; var cell3 = row.insertCell(3); cell3.innerHTML="$" + totalDepreciation.toFixed(2); value -= depreciation;} }
Validating Data: The property value and life boxes cannot be blank
<script ><!--function Validating(){var Valid;Valid=true;if (document.depForm.pValue.value=="" ||document.depForm.pLife.value=="") {Valid=false;}
if (Valid==false) {alert("Property value or life cannot contain blank");}else {showTable();}}--></script>
Note: the button’s onClick event will call the Validating function:<input type="button" value="Show Table" name="btnShowTable" onclick="Validating()" />
Useful function for Validation
• isNaN(): The isNaN() function determines whether a value is an illegal number (Not-a-Number). This function returns true if the value is NaN, and false if not.
