EDSS is a combination of Create an Extensible Document (ICPMM491D) and Create an Extensible Style Sheet (ICPMM492D). This class is a cluster of the two units, that will be delivered together.

Overview

XML is a central aspect of this class. We will use W3Schools to learn XML.

XML is connected to HTML and JavaScript. You need to learn the basics of both:

Read up on HTML on W3Schools

Read up on JavaScript on W3Schools

Today’s class is about JavaScript.

Today’s Class

Use the JavaScript section on W3Schools to 1.research and 2.document the points below.

You can document your research and definitions in a Word document. Use this template > JavaScript Documentation  or create your own!

• Definition for JavaScript, including the purpose and context of other Markup Languages
• Definition HTML DOM and example of a HTML DOM tree found on W3Schools
• Can JavaScript be inserted into the Head or Body section of an HTML document?
• How is JavaScript inserted into HTML?
• Give an example of a Script Tag
• What file extension will you need for an external JavaScript file?
• Do external JavaScript files use <script> tags?
• Write document output: Look at this example on the TryIt Editor and  change the Script so that it writes the <h1> and not the <p> content, change the <p> to HTML.
• What is a JavaScript statement? Define and give an example!
• How do you separate statements?
• Is JavaScript case sensitive?
• Write document output 2: Look at this example on the TryIt Editor and  change the Script so that JavaScript creates the <h1> Good Morning and an additional <h2> What I love? while HTML is responsible for <p>The smell of coffee.
• The For Loop: Use the example provided for cars on the TryIt Editor and change it to write 6 brands of chocolate. Make sure to change the string (or text value=cars to something more appropriate).
• Data Types – define: dynamic (data) types, JavaScript Strings, JavaScript Numbers, JavaScript Booleans, JavaScript Arrays, JavaScript Objects.
