Verifying Form Input With JavaScript
|
Forms on the Web consist of two parts: the form itself,
which is rendered in the browser, and a CGI
script or program located on the server.
This script processes the user's input.
While it's not exactly rocket science,
a stumbling block in creating great Web forms is writing the CGI program.
In most cases these programs are written in Perl or C,
and can be a bother to implement and debug.
A primary job of the CGI program is to validate that the reader has
provided correct data,
and this can requires pages of code.
JavaScript changes that.
With JavaScript you can check the data provided by the reader before it's
ever sent to the CGI program.
In this way the CGI program can be kept to a bare minimum.
And, because the data is only sent after it has been validated,
the server need not be bothered until the
form entry is known to be good. This saves valuable server resources.

Javascript - ColorCenter
|
A neat JavaScript application that displays colors for HTML documents.
ColorCenter lets you easily try out
text and background colors, as well as background textures.
You choose colors from the palette or specify them directly in
hexadecimal, decimal or percentage form,
or use the fine tuning controls to get just the right color.
Select Background, Text, Link, Active Link, Visited Link or Texture
to set the corresponding colors/textures.
The current BODY tag and link colors are shown at the bottom of the
page.
Because ColorCenter is written in JavaScript, all changes are shown
instantly on your screen!
