10:45 CAWD Project: Timed JavaScript Experiments
This morning you are going to work on a JavaScript experiment. You are going to practice our pre-vacation content of functions and timed events, and then apply new knowledge using the Document Object Model.
The review portion:
- Use window.setInterval() to repeat a function forever
- Create a function to be repeated
The new learning:
- Use the Document Object Model to change elements on the web page. As many as you can.
Art / Design / Usability means nothing on this project. This is all about proof of concept, exploring, experimenting. Make it ugly, make it weird, have fun.
There are so many resources out there that you can look at from YouTube tutorials to websites, start tinkering and see what you can do. Here is one with examples and a code sandbox – https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_html.asp
Or just Google “change the DOM with JS“. You can adjust html, you can add styles, do all sorts of adjustments.
Time will end up changing things on screen. Go as far as you can.
Create a folder called “jsExperiment“, create an “index.html” inside of it and all related assets including:
- “js” folder (yes)
- “script.js” (yes)
- “images” folder (maybe?)
- “images” (maybe?)
Other than your Skills work Thursday / Friday – this is your only assignment for the week.
