ASSIGNMENT: Create a page...

Marco Ronchetti marco.ronchetti@unitn.it — Sat, 8 Nov 2014 8:48:00 +0100

ASSIGNMENT:
Create a page that, by using Ajax, monitors the state of the server: when the server meets a certain condition, the page reacts modifying itself.

Example:
A given URL delivers the following page:
Snowwhithe is sleeping

The page then monitors the server. When on the server something happens, (e.g. a file is created on it, or a certain time is reached) the server's response triggers an acttion on the page, so that the page changes into:
Snowwhite is awake

THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE: use your imagination!

OPTIONAL: the triggered action causes a style change in the page, by changing the CSS. For instance, bgcolor could be dark when Snowwhite is sleeping, and light otherwise. See e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1720320/how-to-dynamically-create-css-class-in-javascript-and-apply.
