Table

 table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag),

each row is divided into data cells (with the <td> tag). td stands for "table data," and holds the content of a data cell. A <td> tag can contain text, links, images, lists, forms, other tables, etc.

JavaScript Arrays

Dr. John P. AbrahamProfessor

UTPA

Declaring & populating an Array

var students = new array()students[0] = “Harry”students[2]= “Jim”var months= new

Array(“Jan”,”Feb”…”Dec”)

--display—For (i=0; I <= 12; i++)

{document.write(i, “. “,months[i], <br>’)

Stack Operationsvar stack = new Array();function createStack(top) {top = 0; }function destroyStack(top)

{top = 0;}

function emptyStack(top ) {

return (top = 0);}

function push(element) {top = top + 1; stack[top] = element; }function pop() {element = stack[top]; top = top - 1; return element; }

Parsing a StringprobLen = problem.length;

while (j <= probLen-1) { onechar = problem.charAt(j); while ((onechar !=" ") && (j <=probLen-1)) {

parse(); j++; onechar = problem.charAt(j);

}//while inner if (nums != "") pushStack() else if (opcode != "") domath(); j++;}//while outer

Function parsefunction parse(){

if (onechar >= "." && onechar <= "9") {if (onechar != "/") nums = nums +

onechar; else opcode = onechar;

} else opcode = onechar;

}

Forms and Form Processing (CGI)

Dr. John P. AbrahamUTPA

Purpose of forms

Collect information for the users (user input collection)

Sent from browsers (clients) to servers

Sample form<form method="post"

action="mailto:[email protected]">Name: <input type="text" size="10"

maxlength="40" name="name"> <br />Password: <input type="password" size="10"

maxlength="10" name="password"><br /><INPUT type="radio" name="sex"

value="Male"> Male<BR><INPUT type="radio" name="sex"

value="Female"> Female<BR><input type="submit" value="Send"> </form>

What is a form

Form element of HTML Designed to collect input Mail to vs. server-side scripts

mailto URL causes the form data to sent to an email address.

No server-side scripting is required. Server-side scripts. CGI, Perl, PHP, ASP,

ColdFusion. Can write the data to a database.

Post vs. Get

Post method – form data is sent separately from the actual call to the server-side script. (data is sent under separate cover) Preferred method

Get method: the data is appended to the end of the URL that calls a server-side script. Easy to see what is being sent.

Input types

Text Selections –

radio buttons Check boxes Pull-down menus (pick one for State) Hidden input elements (such as

session info)

Introduction to CGI Data sent to server require customized

processing on the server side. Common Gateway Interface governs the

way a web-server (Apache, IIS, etc.) interacts with an external program.

A popular scripting language conforms to CGI is PERL.

CGI programs can be written any language.

Browsers and CGI End user clicks the submit button

Form’s data are sent over the internet to the web server.

Web server upon receipt of the requests executes the correct application program Forwards the input data to that program

The application program performs requested steps. Generates output back to the server in HTML

Web server forwards the output to the client

Client browser displays it

Outline of a CGI program Determines request method (get or

post) and receives input data. Decodes and checks input data. Performs tasks Produces output in HTML format

Perl programming language

Practical Extension and Reporting Language

1987 Larry Wall at NASA Free Provides a CGI interface module Portable application (runs on web

servers on different platforms)

Example of a CGI program

#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><head><title>Hello

World</title></head>\n"; print "<body>\n"; print "<h2>Hello,

world!</h2>\n"; print "</body></html>\n";

HTML5 It is time for you (and me) to learn

HTML5 I suggest you go to this site and

follow the tutorial.http://w3schools.com/html/html5_intro.asp
