Assignment 4 - Due December 2nd, 2005 Must be submitted to WebCT to receive credit
This assignment will be out of 1000 possible points.
You will be modifying a javascript program. Javascript is a powerful
tool which works with browser software to add buttons, menus, etc.
- Just click on the hello_java.html link below, the script should run, now right click on the web page (the part running the program) and select “view source”. This will load up Notepad, or your default text editor, with the source code. Now just do a “save as” to “hello_java.txt” to your machine. You can now edit the file and when ready to test it do a “save as” to hello_java.html.
- So
click on this hello_java.html to get
started.
- Double click on the hello_java.html
file on your machine to test that it works okay.
PLAY with the web page
before you edit it
READ the web page source before you edit it
There are MANY comments
in the file.
The comments describe what statements are doing.
This homework works in Internet
Explorer. It may or may not work in Netscape.

1. You will need to add your name and login so we know who you are: Use a text editor (notepad) (100 points)
- put your full name where "My name is:"
- Put your login where it says "My login is:"
2. Modify the file so that it is possible to say two more things
- I like “person’s name”
- I love “person’s name”
- For this portion you will need to add the appropriate entries in two places
- A. You will need to add two options to the pull-down menu (100 points)
- B. you will need to add two cases to the function my_function (100 points)
3. The pulldown menu only shows one item at a time. I would like to see two items at a time. (100 points)
4. The textbox for the NAME should be lined up with the menu below it. Add spaces to push the textbox to the right (100 points)
- Look in the source code. I already added a couple of spaces.
- The spacing need not be perfect, just closer.
5. There is a link which points to my web page, it has several problems which you will fix. The link is the text which says Place your mouse on and off of this
- Play with the mouse
putting it over the text. (This portion is simply to understand what is
happening)
You should notice two things:
The status line - i. The status line says I'm feeling in the pink when the mouse is on the link.
§ ii. The status line says Now I'm Blue when the mouse is taken off the link.
The color change does not work correctly, do you notice that the window color changes when the mouse is placed over it and does not change when it is taken off?
- A. The status line say's I'm feeling in the pink but it turns the page background yellow when you put the mouse there. It should change the page to a pink ground. When the mouse moves off the link the status line says Now I’m blue, but the color does not change, fix that also. (100 points).
- B. The link points to my web page. It should point to your web page. (100 points)
- C. There is text which says Place your mouse on and off of this. Replace this with text indicating that the person is going to your web personal webpage. (100 points)
- When the page is left (either by following the link or by exiting the browser), it says Leaving so soon?
- It should say Have a nice day instead. (100 points)
- Submit to WebCT your "hello_java.html" file or you will not receive credit for the assignment
- This file is NOT the web site as it appears in explorer, but the source file you changed which generates the web site. You must submit this file to WebCT.
- Be sure to put YOUR FULL NAME in this file.
- Add a link to your web site so that it can be tested by the graders. This is NOT a replacement for submitting to WebCT.
- The file should be saved in your public_html directory in your cats account
