Examples of scripting languages include JavaScript, Java applets, CGI, and DHTML. XML and XHTML are types of markup languages. Key Terms script interactivity JavaScript Java applet Common Gateway Interface (CGI) markup languages Extensible Markup Language (XML) Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML)

  4. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Scripting and Interactivity You can use scripts to add interactivity to your Web pages. Interactivity on a Web site allows you to solicit and receive information from your visitors. script A short program that you can insert into HTML code using special tags; expands the capabilities of HTML to create dynamic Web pages.

  5. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Scripting Languages • Scripting languages can be used to create interactive elements, such as: • rollover buttons • banners • displays • clocks • forms • games

  6. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Scripting Languages JavaScript is ascripting language that works as part of an HTML document. As the Web page loads onto a user’s computer, the browser reads the JavaScript and completes the operation. JavaScript A scripting language used to enhance the capabilities of Web programming by allowing the creation of special effects such as fading backgrounds and button rollovers. (p. 279)

  7. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Scripting Languages Java applet is a short code program that can be used to create interactive elements that operate separately from the overall Web page. A Java date picker applet allows users to select travel dates by clicking on a pop-up calendar. Java applet A short Java code program that runs in a browser. (p. 279)

  8. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Scripting Languages Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a type of script that allows information to transfer back and forth in real-time between two computers. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) A type of script that provides a link, or interface, between an external application and a Web server. This link allows the Web server to pass a user’s request to an application program and then return information to the user. (p. 279)

  9. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Scripting Languages • Dynamic HTML (DHTML) is a scripting language that is an extension of HTML. It allows you to create interactive Web sites by combining these three elements: • HTML • Cascading Style Sheets • JavaScript

  10. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Markup Languages HTML is a markup language that defines the appearance of data. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines the meaning, and not the appearance, of Web elements. markup language A text file that contains special sequences of characters that function as tags, such as HTML, XML, and XHTML.

(p. 280)

  11. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Markup Languages Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML)uses the same structure and tags as HTML, but it designed to be far more versatile. Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML) A markup language that is designed to bridge the differences between HTML and XML. (p. 280)

  12. pp. 278-281 Scripting and Markup Languages 10.1 Interactivity Design Guidelines • Creating an interactive Web page that people will enjoy visiting requires careful planning. • Follow these guidelines when adding interactive elements to a Web page: • Use Interactivity only when it enhances the site. • Keep it simple so it is not distracting or annoying. • Make sure users know how to use interactive elements. • Check interactivity in all browsers visitors will use.
