Assignment 4 – Due February 25^th, 2009
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 should work in the following web-browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
If you want more information about javascript, visit http://www.htmlgoodies.com.

You will need to add your name and login so we know who you are: Use a text editor (notepad or textpad) (100 points)

• put your full name where "My name is:"
• Put your login where it says "My login is:"

You will need to add the current date – which should update to reflect whatever day it is when viewed. (100 points)

• The script that accomplishes this is given in the comments of the file.
• Read the comments carefully. They will explain what to do.

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 (50 points each – total of 100)

• Currently, there are the options “Hate” and “Hello”
• Add two more, such as “Love” and “Like”

• B. you will need to add two cases to the function my_function (50 points each – total of 100)

• This means that when the user selects “Love” and “Like”, they display appropriate responses when the user clicks “Greet”.

The pulldown menu only shows one item at a time. I would like to see two items displayed at a time. (100 points)

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.

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

• Change the background color.

· When the mouse first hovers over the text, the background will turn yellow. Make it turn pink instead.

· After moving the mouse off the text, the background remains the same color. Alter this so that moving the mouse off the text changes the background to blue. (100 points)

· The command for turning the background blue works the same way as the code that changes it to yellow (or pink), except it reads “onMouseOut” instead of “onMouseOver” (100 points)

• Change the text Place your mouse on and off of this.  Replace this with text indicating that the person is going to your 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.

• Your javascript page should be uploaded to your UCSC webspace. This is NOT a replacement for submitting to WebCT. You must do BOTH.
• The file should be saved in your public_html directory in your UCSC personal webspace account at http://people.ucsc.edu/~username
• There should be a link added to your index.html with text "HI THERE" that is EASY to see that will reference the java script. (100 points extra credit)

• If you did not complete Assignment 3 and would still like to earn this extra credit, you will have to make a simple web page with the “HI THERE” link and upload it to your UCSC webspace. This page does not have to have anything other than this link on it.
