COMS303 E-Commerce Scripting Languages

OBJECTS LAB

Description:

This lab will display your ability to use a variety of built in objects available to a web page being displayed in a browser.  The concept of object oriented programming is to use existing objects to perform desired functions or create your own objects to handle repetitive activities.

Instructions:

Create a simple web page called Coms303Objects.htm.  Include the basic structure tags and a title with your name and Objects Lab in the title.  You are welcome to apply any presentation changes, if desired.

  1. Create a dialog box that will capture the user's name using a function called inputName().  Activate this function when the page loads.  
  2. Update the Status message with the input name and the current date.
  3. Use a script tag and the Date() to display the following line in a paragraph:  Today's Date:  xxxxxx
  4. Use a script tag and the Navigator object to display the name of the browser currently in use:  Your Browser is: xxxxxxxxxx
  5. Create a button on the page using the <INPUT> tag.  When the button is clicked, send the user to www.dmacc.edu using the Location object.
  6. Create a button on the page using the <INPUT> tag.  When the button is clicked it will activate a function called newWindow().  This function should open a new window that is 300 by 300 and displays only the menubar.  Display www.google.com in the window.
  7. On the button described above, display the following message in the status bar when the event onmouseover occurs on the button:  "This Will Send you to GOOGLE.com". 
  8. On the button described above, return the original message to the status bar when the event onmouseout occurs on the button.
