Description
This course exposes students to the Document Object Model (DOM) and how to use JavaScript to add dynamic effects and manipulate the structure of the document on the fly. Students will use JavaScript and the DOM to enhance web pages with client-side dynamic effects and create markup on the fly. Some topics to be covered include: application of dynamic behavior to web pages without inserting JavaScript; writing scripts that degrade gracefully when JavaScript isn’t available; using web standards to ensure cross -browser compatibility; harnessing the power of the DOM to create user-controlled animation; and using Ajax. Prerequisite: IT 270. Offered: Fall, Spring.
