The Script Approach to Active Client Pages: Chrys`s Enhancement

In this conclusion to a three-part series on active client pages, I give you my enhancements to the Script Approach. I am the one who came up with the Script Approach. I derived it from Vlad’s work. Before I start my enhancements, let me talk about the store and Vlad’s Fake Get Method. Vlad himself calls one of his methods the Fake Get Method.

TABLE OF CONTENTS:

Now that you are producing the content at the client, it might interest you to be able to change the content of HTML elements. You probably already knew that you could change the table cell content with the innerHTML property. Many browsers today can allow you to change the content of almost any HTML element.

Consider the following code:

<html>

<head>

function changeContent()

{

document.getElementById('S1').innerHTML = "two";

document.getElementById('D1').innerHTML = "second";

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<div id="D1">First</div>

<button type="button" onclick="changeContent()">Click</button>

</body>

</html>

When you click the button, the contents of the SPAN and DIV elements will be changed by the function in the script. This is just to show you that now, as your web pages or forms would be produced at the client, you may have to change the contents of HTML elements. This feature is not imperative for ACP. It comes as a complement. You can try the above code.
