Building the Behavioral Layer of an SMTP Client with Prototype
Looking for new and productive ways to use the robust features that come packaged with the Prototype JavaScript library? Then look no further, since this set of articles might be what you're searching for.
Building the Behavioral Layer of an SMTP Client with Prototype - Listing the presentation and structural modules of the SMTP client (Page 2 of 4 )
A natural step before I proceed to defining the JavaScript functions that comprise the behavior layer of this SMTP client consists of listing the complete client-side code of the application as it appeared in the first part of the series.
As usual, the purpose of doing this is to refresh your memory of the signatures of the different application modules developed so far. Here is how they looked originally:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
As you'll possibly recall from the preceding article of the series, the above (X)HTML file is responsible for displaying the corresponding user interface of the SMTP client. This interface is used for entering relevant data, such as the recipient's email address, the subject and text of the message, and the carbon copies and blind carbon copies that will be sent to additional receivers as well.
The signature of the previous file is very easy to grasp, therefore let's not waste more time reviewing topics that were covered in the first part of the series. Instead, let's move on and see how to create the JavaScript functions that will send email via AJAX and turn the different controls of the user interface into fully-functional elements.
