10. Javascript and document structure

11. EVTEK J.Holvikivi11 Javascript  Javascript is always downloaded from the server to the client  Either as a file reference  Or embedded in HTML  Javascript is executed on client side.  Less load on server  Example: checks on form input (numeric fields, dates, required fields)  Javascript understands the structure of the HTML page (document); DOM

12. J.Holvikivi12 HTML document  Javascript can recognize the tree structure This is a test page Below is a table... row 1 cell 1 row 1 cell 2 row 2 cell 1 row 2 cell 2

13. J.Holvikivi13 Tree of the page ’This is a test page’ ’Below is a table’ data datadata

14. J.Holvikivi14 Document Object Model (DOM)  Used by many programming languages (php, Java, C#, C++, Javascript…)  and understood by browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari)  XML -document is a collection of nodes that make a hierarchical tree structure  The hierarchy is used in navigating the tree to locate information  Inefficient use of memory: the tree structure is created in the memory  DOM enables adding, moving, deleting and changing of nodes

15. J.Holvikivi15 Document tree Ancestor Parent / ancestor SiblingNode Child /descendantAttribute Descendant Namespace

16. J.Holvikivi16 Processing of the tree  Start with the root node ( document-object)  Element properties  firstChild  lastChild  nextSibling  parentNode  Methods to navigate the tree in Javascript  getElementByID(id)  getElementsByName(name)  getElementsByTagName(name)  getAttribute(name)
