    Client-Side Web Scripting

    • allows programs (i.e., scripts) to be downloaded from the web server


    and executed on the client (i.e., browser)
    • common client-side scripting technologies:
    o JavaScript, ECMAScript, JScript
    o VBScript, ActionScript
    o Java applets, ActiveX controls, Flash animations
    • common uses:
    o dynamic (X)HTML
    ƒ page embellishments and special visual “effects”, content
    generation and manipulation, user interaction, document
    and page navigation, etc.
    o form validation
    o asynchronous/partial content retrieval, RIA technologies (e.g.,
    AJAX)
    • common issues:
    o browser support
    ƒ no scripting support
    ƒ scripting disabled
    ƒ plugin availability
    o version incompatibilities, non-standard implementations
    o capability restrictions
    ƒ scripting languages are not general-purpose programming
    languages
    ƒ e.g., JavaScript is restricted by the sandbox execution
    model and the same origin policy
    o security risks
    ƒ browser implementation defects (e.g., buffer overflows)
    ƒ e.g., for JavaScript, cross-site scripting (XSS) or cross-site
    request forgery (XSRF) issues
    ƒ malicious ActiveX controls

    JavaScript
    • developed by Brendan Eich at Netscape Communications as the
    scripting language for the Netscape Navigator browser
    • formerly called Mocha, then LiveScript, then JavaScript
    • standardized by Ecma International as ECMAScript
    • latest version: JavaScript 1.8
    • common version: JavaScript 1.5, JScript 5.5, ECMAScript v3 (ECMA-
    262 3rd edition)
    • linked/embedded in web pages using the <script> element
    o linked:
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”scripts.js” />
    o embedded (either in the <head> or the <body> element):
    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    <!-- hide script from non-JavaScript browsers...
    /* script code goes here... */
    // end of script hiding... -->
    </script>
    • JavaScript + DOM/BOM + CSS + (X)HTML = DHTML

    • basic language features:


    o paradigm:
    ƒ object-oriented (prototype-based), functional, imperative,
    scripting language
    o Java-/C-like syntax:
    ƒ implicit semicolon insertion for statement termination
    ƒ identifiers use alphanumeric, _, and $ characters
    ƒ case-sensitive keywords and identifiers
    ƒ single-line (//) or block (/* */) comments
    o type system and variable scoping rules:
    ƒ dynamic (a.k.a. loose or weak) typing
    ƒ global (a.k.a. top-level) or local scopes
    ƒ data types:
    • primitive types
    o numbers (decimal, hexadecimal notation)
    o booleans (true, false)
    o strings (single or double quote delimited)
    o undefined and null
    • composite (object) types
    o core JavaScript objects
    ƒ Object, Number, Boolean, String, Date,
    Math, Global, RegExp, Error
    ƒ arrays (Array)
    ƒ functions (Function, Arguments)
    o client-side JavaScript objects
    ƒ Window, Navigator, Screen, Document,
    Location, History
    ƒ Anchor, Applet, Attr, Comment,
    DOMException, DOMImplementation,
    DocumentFragment, Element, Event, Form,
    Image, Input, Layer, Link, Node, Option,
    Select, Style, Text, TextArea
    o keywords:
    ƒ break, case, catch, continue, default, delete, do, else,
    false, finally, for, function, if, in, instanceof, new,
    null, return, switch, this, throw, true, try, typeof,
    var, void, while, with
    o reserved words (for possible future language extensions):
    ƒ abstract, boolean, byte, char, class, const, debugger,
    double, enum, export, extends, final, float, goto,
    implements, import, int, interface, long, native,
    package, private, protected, public, short, static,
    super, synchronized, throws, transient, volatile
    o operators
    ƒ . [] () new
    ++ -- + - * / %
    = compound assignment operators
    == != < <= > >= === !==
    && || !
    & | ^ ~ << >> >>>
    ?: ,
    delete typeof instanceof in void
    o statements and control structures
    ƒ var
    ƒ if-else
    • condition expressions having values of 0, ””, null,
    and undefined evaluate to false
    ƒ switch-case-default-break
    • allows any expression type as the switch expression
    • can use expressions as case labels
    • with fall-through functionality
    ƒ while, do-while, for, for-in, break, continue
    ƒ try-catch-finally, throw
    • throw and catch can handle any expression type
    ƒ function, return
    ƒ with
