Languages and Software to Be Used (Cont.)

Apache Web Server
Apache is an open-source HTTP web server, which is a computer program that delivers (serves) content, such as web pages, using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over the World Wide Web.

HTML DOM (Document Object Model)
The DOM defines a standard for accessing documents. HTML DOM allows programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure, and style of an HTML document. It will be used by AJAX.


<html> <head><script type="text/javascript"> function ChangeText( ) { document.getElementById("p1").innerHTML = "New text!"; } </script></head> <body> <p id="p1">Hello world!</p> <input type="button" onclick="ChangeText( )" value="Change text" /> </body> </html>

JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting language used in web content development, primarily to create functions that can be embedded in or included from HTML documents and that interact with the DOM.


<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function load( ) { if ( window.confirm( "Go home?" ) ) window.location = "https://und.edu/"; else window.location = document.referrer; } </script> </head> <body onload = "load( )" /> </html>
