In the electronic world that was brought about by
digital information technology, most people now rely on digital communications as well as electronic messaging for communications and information acquisition. Yes, and the creation of the world wide web spawned a lot of web developers who make the internet a better place to live in. In a simulated manner, that is.
But, with this platform for information and communications, most people have been pushed to at least know something from the pool of knowledge that is web design and development This is because the internet houses more than business-related websites. Yes, there are personal internet sites as well, and, in the very near future, about 90% of the adult population of the world would have his or her own personal webspace. Thus, you would have to rely on people like me who post suggestions, tips, tricks, and techniques on web design and development free of charge! With this, I start off, again, with a topic that would probably interest and confuse you at the same time.
JavaScript triggers. Yes, this is what this post of mine is all about. You see, in order for a website to be accessible, usable, and visually entertaining, it should have three separate layers. These layers include a structural layer, done using XHTML. The next layer is presentation layer, in which CSS is used to design and develop such a layer. Finally, we have behavior layer, which is developed using JavaScript. Now these layers must communicate between each other, and one layer should be changeable without affecting the two other layers. This can be done using JavaScript triggers, in which a small JavaScript code is placed on the web document so as to serve its purpose of bridging the communication gap between the three layers. It isn't hard to understand and use, though it would need substantial knowledge on the basics of JavaScript web development in order to grasp the concept well enough to be of any use on your website.
