I wrote this essay for the TCN, who gave me a special commendation prize.
Community Groups communicate using the Web - A need for a simple booking system on the web.
The server side script collects the submits from the guestbook form and wrapped them in a JavaScript function call.
Your web pages would include these and do the processing on the viewer's browser.
You write the body of the function to use the data in the guestbook.
Generic CGI script wraps Form data in gbF().
function gbF( name, email, postedOn, IPaddress, userfield1, userfield2, userfield3, userfield4, comments)
Include remote guestbook and gbF() will be called once per entry.
<script language = "JavaScript" type = "text/javascript"
src = "http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/gb/gbookFXXX.js" >
</script>
Using JavaScript Objects to load and sort data
var gbA = []
var gbA = new Array()
console.log( gbA.length )
function gbF( name,email,postedOn,IPaddress,userfield1,userfield2,userfield3,userfield4,comments){
gbA[ gbA.length ] = {
"name":name,
"email":email,
"postedOn":postedOn,
"IPaddress":IPaddress,
"userfield1":userfield1,
"userfield2":userfield2,
"userfield3":userfield3,
"userfield4":userfield4,
"comments":comments,
"index":gbA.length
}
}
// test call
gbF( "Test Call1","email","15 Nov 2003","IPaddress","userfield1","userfield2","userfield3","userfield4","Testcomments")
gbF( "Test Call4","email","15 Nov 2003","IPaddress","userfield1","userfield2","userfield3","userfield4","Testcomments")
gbF( "Test Call5","email","15 Nov 2003","IPaddress","userfield1","userfield2","userfield3","userfield4","Testcomments")
gbF( "Test Call2","email","15 Nov 2003","IPaddress","userfield1","userfield2","userfield3","userfield4","Testcomments")
function sortfn( a, b ){
if (a.name > b.name){
return 1
} else {
return -1
}
}
// pass name of sort function
gbA.sort( sortfn )
