Client Web

A brief view at client web

Transport Content

Appearance Behavior

Http (HyperText Transfer Protocol) –
is a deal between client and server on
how to deliver data

Http
- Request/Response model
- Stateless
- Operates with text

How to transfer large binary files
through protocol
which operates with text?

How to maintain state
in stateless protocol?

How to get updates from server
when all you can do is ask for?

Http methods
- Get
- Post
- Put
- Delete
- (few less used)

Https
- Agree on PreMasterSecret
- Encrypt traffic with it
- Send data safely

Html (HyperText Markup Language) –
is a tool for describing contents with
pre-defined limited set of words

Is a set of rules,
by which browser
reads this description

<form name="input" action=“your_url"
method="get">
Text: <input type=“text" name=“text” />
Radio: <input type="checkbox"
name=“radio"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Here comes Http

The number of html elements is growing…

Because what really matters nowadays…

Html5 is just a logical step in evolution of web

ordo ab chao
After chaos comes order

Css (Cascading Style Sheets) –
is a way of describing how your contents
should look

Css rules priorities
- #id == 3
- .classname == 2
- [attr] == 2
- el == 1

Sum = … -> order -> priority = …

JavaScript –
is a powerful programming language,
embedded into the browsers,
letting us control the behavior of contents

Unobtrusive JavaScript
10 years ago
<body bgcolor=“#000”>
BAD! Now we move styles into separate files
body {
background-color: #000;
}
Same with javascript. We put him into separate file.

Bad, mixing JavaScript with HTML
<button type="button“
onclick=“document.getElementById(„photo').style.color='red';“>
Click Me
</button>
<div id=“photo”>I am photo</div>

Unobtrusive JavaScript
<button type="button" id="testButton">
Click Me <-clean HTML
</button>

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = init;

function init() {
document.getElementById('testButton').onclick =
makeItRed;
}
function makeItRed() {
document.getElementById(„photo').style.color = 'red';
};
</script>

Events
• World Wide Web – it’s events that make it all
happen

1 Set up the user interface.
2 Wait for something interesting to happen.
3 React accordingly.
4 Repeat.

Netscape Event Model (march 1996)
DOM Level 0 Event Model
• Hanlder function is assigned to attribtues on html element (onclick)

<button id=“button1” value=“I‟m button”
onclick=“alert(„I‟am clicked‟)” />

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$(„#button1‟)[0].onfocus = function(event) {
console.log(„Focused!‟);
}
});
</script>

Across the browsers?
1. IE doesn’t invoke function with ‘event’
if (!event) event = window.event;
}

2. IE has event.target instead of event.srcElement:
var target = (event.target)
? event.target : event.srcElement;

if (!event) event = window.event;
var target = (event.target)
? event.target : event.srcElement;
}

Event bubbling
document.onclick = function(event) {
alert(event.target.tagName);
}

Events bubbling (propagation)
Browsers: event.stopPropagation();
IE: event.cancelBubble = true;
These don’t bubble: focus, blur; change, submit

Events default actions
<form name=“myform” onsubmit=“return false;”></form|>
<a href=“http://www.mysite.com” onclick=“return false;”></a>
Browsers: event.preventDefault();
IE: event.returnValue = false;

event.currentTarget – doesn’t work on IE

The DOM Level 2 Event Model (november2000)
function doFirstThing() {
}
function doSecondThing() {
}

addEventListener(eventType, listener, useCapture)

someElement.addEventListener(„click‟, doFirstThing, false);
someElement.addEventListener(„click‟, doSecondThing, false);
// (порядок виконання не гарантується)

IE: attachEvent(eventName, handler); // window.event :(
someElement.attachEvent(„onclick‟, doFirstThing);
someElement.attachEvent(„onclick‟, doSecondThing);

What is jQuery?
$(), jQuery() – is function, just another piece of js code. But more
pleasant one

var jQuery = function(selector, context) {
return new jQuery.fn.init(selector, context);
}
jQuery.fn.init - returns wrapped set

$(selector).action()
<div>Some text</div>
<div class=“winter”>Winter text</div>

<script type=“text/javascript”>
$('div.winter').hide();
// jQuery chaining
$('div.winter').hide().show();

$('div.winter').hide().show().removeClass('winter').addClass('spring');
// same as:
var myDiv = $('div.winter');
myDiv.hide();
myDiv.show();
myDiv.removeClass('winter');
myDiv.addClass('spring');
</script>

CSS, or jQuery selectors
p a { color: green; }
$(“p a”).css(„color‟, „green‟);
$("p:even");
$("tr:nth-child(1)");
$("body > div");
$("a[href$=pdf]");
$("body > div:has(a)");

The jQuery Event Model

$(„img‟).bind(„click‟, function(event) {
alert(„Image clicked ‟ + $(this).attr(„alt‟));
});

• Unified way of adding event handlers
• Easy to add many handlers at once
• Standard names (click, focus);
• ‘event’ is always present and in the same form
• Unified way of canceling and preventing default actions
(event.preventDefault()) (event.cancelBubble())

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and Xml) –
is a chance to reload the content
without reloading the whole page

Usual Ajax workflow
1. Simple HTTP Get through click
2. Page loads javascript logic for ajax
3. Certain actions lead user to async ajax requests
4. Browser sends request to server without reloading page
5. Server examines that the request is async
6. Server s sends back piece of html or json
7. Client gets response and applies it to page

Ajax lets us use more HTTP then
<form> element

Don’t forget!

• Javascript is tricky
• Javascript is single-threaded
• Events run it all
• Use Ajax wisely
• Use Cookies wisely
