JavaScript Application Cookbook

This text hands the Webmaster a set of ready-to-go, client-side JavaScript applications with thorough documentation to help them understand and extend those applications. By providing such a set of applications, the text allows Webmasters to add extra functionality to their Web sites. The volume explores both the code and the techniques that are centred around core JavaScript functionality. The source file design of most applications and libraries should help modularize reader Web sites and facilitate easier site management and coding practices. The book includes: an email application that permits sending browser-based email to multiple recipients; a bare-bones password protection application that uses JavaScript to provide minimum password authentication for site access; a weekly event co-ordinator that calculates calendar dates; reusable web page templates that allow coders to replicate Web page designs for as many pages as desired; a client-side search engine that shows coders how to build their own search engine and get excellent results, all with a client-side tool; and a drag-and-drop storefront application that allows users to generate their own drag-and-drop product combos for cutomizable products.
