Chapter 1
HTML
1.1 Introduction
In this chapter, various component of HTML are discussed to design a web page.
The basic structure for an HTML page is shown below.
Entries inside the /< . . . /> are known as tags. Most of the tags has an opening and closing e.g. <head>
(opening head) and </head> (closing head). Some of the tags do not have closing tags e.g. <!DOCTYPE
. . . > and <br />. We need to write the HTML codes inside the tags.
The comments are written b etween ‘<!–’ and ‘–>’.
Here Line 1 gives the details of the ‘HTML version’ to the web-browser. The ‘html’ tells it is version 5.
The ‘head’ tag (Lines 3-5) contains the header related tags e.g. ‘title for the page’ and ‘links for the css files’
etc.
The ‘body’ tag (7-11) contains the actual HTML code which is displayed on the web-browser. Also, we add
all the JavaScript related codes just before the closing body tag (</body>).
1 <!DOCTYPE html> <!-- tells browser above the html version -->
2 <html> <!-- beginning of the html document -->
3 <head>
4 <!-- header related tags e.g. title, links etc. -->
5 </head>
6
7 <body>
8 <!-- actual html document here -->
9
10 <!-- add JavaScript files here -->
11 </body>
12 </html>
1.2 First code
In below code, the message “Hello World” is displayed on the HTML page. The Fig. 1.1 is the resultant HTML
page.
The title (Line 4) appears on the top of the browser.
The tag <h1> is called ‘header’ tag, which has the larger size than the normal text (see the size of ‘Hello
World!’).
The tag <p> is called the ‘paragraph’ tag, which can be used to write the paragraphs.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

</head>
<body>
<h1> Hello World! </h1>
<p> This is the first HTML code </p>
</body>
</html>
Fig. 1.1: First code
1.3 Basic tags
The Table 1.1 shows the list of tags which are required for writing the basic ‘HTML’ codes i.e. without any
style e.g. bold, italics and numbering etc.
Table 1.1: List of basic tags
Tag Description Example
h1, . . . , h6 Header tag h1 to h6 <h2> Hi </h2>
p paragraphs (Line changes at the end) <p> Hi </p>
span No line change after span <span>Hi</span> Bye.
div make division between contents <div> . . . </div>
a hyperlink see Section 1.9
center Move content to center <center> Hi </center>
br Line break (no closing tag) <br /> or <br>
hr horizontal line (no closing tag) <hr /> or <hr>
pre preserve formatting <pre> . . . . </pre>
table insert table see Section 1.5
Let’s see the example of each of these tags,
Note: All the new codes are added below the previous codes in the ‘body’ tag. Therefore only newly added
codes are shown in the tutorial.
<h2> Heading 2 </h2>
<h6> Heading 6 </h6>
(continues on next page)
2 PythonDSP
Chapter 1. HTML
(continued from previous page)
<p> This is paragraph </p>
<span> This is span.</span>
<span> The 'br' tag is used after span to break the line </span>
<br/>
<div style="color:blue;">
The 'div' tag can be used for formatting the tags inside it at once using 'style' and 'classes'
˓
etc.
<p> This paragraph is inside the 'div' tag </p>
<span> This span is inside the 'div' tag </span>
<br/>
</div>
<center>
<h3> Heading 3 is centered</h3>
<
p><span> Centered span inside the paragraph.</span><p>
</center>
Two horizontal line is drawn using two 'hr' tag.
<hr />
<hr>
<pre> 'pre' tag preserve the formatting (good for writing codes)
# Python code
x = 2
y = 3
print(x+y)
</
pre>
Fig. 1.2 is the output of above code. Read the text to understand each tag,

1.4. Attributes
1.4 Attributes
In Fig. 1.2, we saw an example of attribute (i.e. style) which changed the color of all the elements to ‘blue’ inside
the ‘div’ tag.
1.4.1 Attribute ‘name’ and ‘value’
Attribute is defined inside the opening part of a ‘tag’. For example, in the below co de, the attribute ‘style’
is defined inside the ‘div’ tag.
<div style="color:blue;">
</div>
An attribute has two parts i.e. name and value’. For example, in the above code, name and value of
the attribute are style and blue respectively.
1.4.2 Core attributes
Below are the three core attributes which are used frequently in web design.
id : The ‘id’ is the unique name which can be given to any tag. This is very useful in distinguishing the
element with other elements.
<p id='para1'> This is paragraph with id 'para1' </p>
<
p id='para2'> This is paragraph with id 'para2' </p>
class : The attribute ‘class’ can be used with multiple tags. This is very useful in making groups in HTML
design.
<p class="c_blue"> This is paragraph with class 'blue'</p>
<span class="c_blue"> This is span with class 'blue'</span>
style : We already see the example of style attribute, which can be used to change the formatting of the
text in HTML design. We can specify various styles which are discussed in
Chapter 2.
<p style="font-weight:bold; color:red;">Style attribute is used to bold and color</p>
Note: Above three attributes are used with ‘CSS (cascading style sheet)’ and JavaScript/jQuery, which are the
very handy tools to enhance the look and functionalities of the web-page respectively. The CSS is discussed in
Chapter 2, whereas JavaScript and jQuery are discussed in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 respectively.
Also we can define multiple attributes for one tag as shown below,
<p class="my_class" id="para_with_class" style="color:green"> Multiple attributes </p>
The other useful attributes are listed in Table 1.2
Table 1.2: List of attributes
Name Values Description
id user defined names <p id=’p_1’> Hi </p>
class user defined names <p class=’p_class’> Hi </p>
style CSS styles <p style=”color:red; font-weight:bold;”> Hi </p>
align left, right, center horizontal alignment
width numeric value or % value width of images and tables etc.
height numeric value height of images and tables etc.

Chapter 1. HTML
1.5 Tables
In this section, we will learn to draw tables along with s ome attributes which are discussed in Table 1.2. Table 1.3
shows the list of tags available to create the table, which are used in Listing 1.1.
Table 1.3: Tags and attributes for creating tables
Tag Description
table beginning and end of table
tr row of table
th header cell
td data cell
Attributes
rowspan number of rows to merge
colspan number of columns to merge
border width of border
cellpadding width of whitespace between two border
cellspacing width of whitespace within a border
bgcolor background color
bordercolor color of border
width width of table (numeric or %)
height height of table (numeric)
caption caption for table
Some of the attributes of Table 1.3 are used in b elow example,
Listing 1.1: Table with border and color
1 <!-- border - color, width and height -->
2 <table border="1" bordercolor="black" width="450" height="100">
3 <caption>Table 1 : Various tags of table</caption>
4 <tr bgcolor="red" > <!-- row -->
5 <th>Column 1</th> <!-- header -->
6 <th>Column 2</th>
7 <th>Column 3</th>
8 </
tr>
9
10 <tr bgcolor="cyan"> <!-- background color -->
11 <td>Data 1</td> <!-- data -->
12 <td>Data 2</td>
13 <td>Data 3</td>
14 </tr>
15
16 <tr bgcolor="yellow"> <!-- row -->
17 <td colspan="2">New Data 1</td> <!-- column span -->
18 <td>New Data 2</td> <!-- data -->
19 </tr>
20 </table>
21
22
23
24 <!-- width in % -->
25 <table border="1" bordercolor="black" width="80%" height="100">
26 <caption> Table 2 : Width is 80%</caption>
27 <tr bgcolor="red" >
28 <

1.6 Text formatting
In this section, we will see some of the text formatting options (see Table 1.4) e.g. bold, italic, subscript and strike
etc.
Table 1.4: Text formatting
Tag Description
b bold
i italic
u, ins underline
strike, del strike
sup superscript
sub subscript
big big size text
small small size text
Below are the some of the examples of text formatting, whose results are shown in Fig. 1.4,
<!-- Text formatting -->
<p>This is <b>bold</b> text</p>
<p>This is <strike>striked</strike> text</p>
<
p>This is <sub>subscript</sub> text</p>
1.7 Images
Image tag has two important attribues i.e. ‘src’ and ‘alt’ as described below,
src : tells the location of ‘image’ file e.g. in Line 2 the image ‘logo.jpg’ will be searched insid e the folder
‘img’.
6 PythonDSP
Chapter 1. HTML
Fig. 1.4: Text formatting
alt : is the ‘alternate text’ which is displayed if image is not found. For example, in Line 6, the name of the
image is incorrectly written i.e. ‘logoa’ (instead of ‘logo’), therefore the value of ‘alt’ i.e. ‘Missing Logo.jpg’
will be displayed as shown in
Fig. 1.5.
1 <!-- Images -->
2 <img src="img/logo.jpg" alt="Logo.jpg" width="20%"/>

1.8. Lists
1.8 Lists
There are three type of lists in HTML,
Unordered list : bullet are used in it (see Lines 2 and 9)
Ordered list : numbers are used in it (see Lines 15, 22 and 28)
Definition list : This can be used for writing definitions in HTML (see Line 35)

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
2.1 Introduction
CSS is used to enhance the look of the web page. In Section 1.4.2, we saw the attribute ‘style’, which is used for
changing the color of the text. Let’s rewrite the example of ‘style’ as shown in next section.
2.1.1 Inline CSS
Below code is an example of ‘inline CSS’, where the styles are defined inside the individual tags.
1 <!-- css.html -->
2
3 <!DOCTYPE html>
4 <html>
5 <head>
6 <title>CSS Tutorial</title>
7
8 </head>
9 <body>
10
11 <
h3 style="color:blue"> Heading 1 </h3>
12 <h3 style="color:blue"> Heading 3 </h3>
13 <h3 style="color:blue"> Heading 3 </h3>
14
15 </body>
16 </html>
In the above code, we have three ‘headings’ with font-color as ‘blue’. Suppose, we want to change the color to red,
then we must go to to individual ‘h3’ tag and then change the color. This is easy in this case, but if we have 100
headings in 5 different ‘html’ files, then this process is not very handy. In such cases, CSS can be quite useful as
shown in next section.
2.1.2 Embedded CSS
In the below co de, the style is embedded inside the ‘style’ tag as shown in Lines 8-17. Here, we have defined two
classes i.e. ‘h3_blue (Lines 21-23)’ and ‘h3_red (Lines 26-28)’. Then, the selectors at Lines 9 and 13 targets the
class ‘h3_blue’ & ‘h3_red’, and change the color to blue and red respectively. In this chapter, we will discuss the
selectors (e.g. h3.h3_blue) in more details.
Note:
In CSS, the comments are written between /* and */.
15
2.1. Introduction
CSS has three parts,
Selectors e.g. p, h3.h3_blue
Properties e.g. color
Values of properties e.g. red

27 <h3 class='h3_red'> Heading 3 </h3>
28 <h3 class='h3_red'> Heading 3 </h3>
29
30 </body>
31 </html>
Below is the output of above code,
2.1.3 External CSS
We can write the ‘CSS’ code in different file and then import the file into ‘html’ do cume nt as shown in this section.
In this way, we can manage the files easily.
The ‘CSS’ code is saved in the file ‘my_css.css’ which is saved inside the folder ‘asset/css’.
/* asset/css/my_css.css */
h3.h3_blue{
color: blue;
}
h3.h3_red{
color:red;
}
Next, we need to imp ort the CSS file into the ‘html’ file as shown in Line 7.

2.2 Basic CSS Selectors
There are three types of selectors in CSS,
Element : can be selected using it’s name e.g. ‘p’, ‘div’ and ‘h1’ etc.
Class : can be selected using ‘.className’ operator e.g. ‘.h3_blue’.
ID : can be selected using ‘#idName’ e.g. ‘#my_para’.
We will use following HTML for understanding the selectors,

20 }
Fig. 2.2: Selectors : element, class and id
2.3 Hierarchy
In previous section, we saw the example of selectors. In this section, we will understand the hierarchy of the
styling-operations.
Important: Below is the priority level for the CSS,
18 PythonDSP
Chapter 2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Priority level :
ID (highest priority)
Class
Element
If two CSS has same priority, then CSS rule at the last will be applicable.
Below is the html code with following tags,
‘p’ tag
‘p’ tag with class ‘c_head’
‘p’ tag with class ‘c_head’ and id ‘i_head’
1 <!-- css.html -->
2
3 <!DOCTYPE html>
4 <html>
5 <
head>
6 <title>CSS Selectors</title>
7 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="asset/css/my_css.css">
8 </head>
9 <body>
10 <p>Paragraph</p>
11
12 <p class='c_head'> Paragraph with class 'c_head' </p>
13 <p class='c_head' id='i_head'> Paragraph with class 'c_head' and id 'i_head' </p>
14
15 </
body>
16 </html>
Below is the CSS code. Let’s understand the formatting of all three ‘p’ tags individually. The results are shown
in
Fig. 2.3.
‘p’ tag at Line 13 of html : Since, ‘id’ has highest priority, therefore CSS rule for #i_head’ (Line 12) will
not be overridden by Line 24; hence the color is red. Line 13 has ‘p’ tag, therefore ‘font-variant’ rule will be
applied by Line 17. Also, this tag has class ‘c_head’, therefore ‘font’ will be set to ‘cursive’. Hence, the line
is all-caps with font-cursive in red color”.
‘p’ tag at Line 12 of html : Similarly, the ‘head’ tag has higher priority than ‘element’ therefore color of
this line is oranage and font-family is ‘cursive’. Also, Line 17 will make it all caps
‘p’ tag at Line 10 of html : Color defined at Line 18 will be overridden by Line 24; hence the color will
be blue. Also, Line 17 will make it all caps.
1 /* asset/css/my_css.css */

3 /*class selection*/
4 .c_head{
5 font-family: cursive;
6 color: orange; /*override the blue color*/

example of ‘Attribute selector’ is shown in this section.
Table 2.1: List of selectors
Selectors Description
h1, p, span etc. element selector
.className class selector
#idName id selector
* Universal selector (selects everything)
h1.className select h1 with class ‘className’

p span descendant selector (select span which is inside p)
p > span child selector (‘span’ which is direct descendant of ‘p’)
h1, h2, p group selection (select h1, h2 and p)
span[my_id] select ‘span’ with attribute ‘my_id’
span[my_id=m_span] select ‘span’ with attribute ‘my_id=m_span’
2.4.1 Attribute selector
Add below code at the end of the html file. In these lines ‘custom attributes’ are added (i.e. my_id).
<!-- css.html -->
<span my_id='m_span'> Span with attribute 'my_id' with value 'm_span' </span>
<br>
<span my_id='m_span2'> Span with attribute 'my_id' with value 'm_span2' </span>
These custom attributes can be selected as below,
/*attribute selection*/
span[my_id] { /* select 'span' with attribute 'my_id' */
color: green;
font-weight: bold

Bootstrap
3.1 Introduction
One of the problem with basic HTML design is that the webpage may look different in different browser or device
(e.g. mobile, tablet and laptop). Therefore, we may need to modify the code according to browser or device. The
problem can be easily resolved by using Bootstrap.
Bootstrap is a framework which uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript for the web design. It is supported by all the
major browsers e.g. Firefox, Opera and Chrome etc. Further, Bootstrap includes several predefined classes for
easy layouts e.g. dropdown buttons, navigation bar and alerts etc. Lastly, it is responsive in nature i.e. the layout
changes automatically according to the device e.g. mobile or laptop etc.
3.2 Setup
Bootstrap needs atleast 3 files for its operation which can be downloaded from the Bo otstrap website.
bootstrap.css (Line 7) : This file contains various CSS for bootstrap.
bootstrap.js (Line 16) : This file contains various JavaScript functionalities e.g. dropdown and alerts etc.
jQuery.js (Line 17) : This file is the jQuery library which can be downloaded from the ‘jQuery’ website.
It is required for proper working of ‘bootstrap.js’.
3.2.1 Download and include files
These files are downloaded and saved inside the ‘asset’ folder. Next, we need to include these files in the HTML
document as below,
1 <!DOCTYPE html>
2 <html>
3 <head>
4 <title>Bootstrap Tutorial</title>

3.2.2 Add CDN
Another way to include the fi les is CDN. In this method, we need not to download the files, but provide the links
to these files, as shown in Lines 8, 17 and 19 of below code. Note that, in this case the code will not work in offline
mode.

Note: In this tutorial, we have used the first method i.e. download the files and include in the html document.
3.2.3 Check setup
Let’s write our first code to check the correct setup of the Bootstrap.
Note: We need not to memorize the code for creating the ‘dropdown’ button. All the templates are available on
the
Bootstrap website. Copy and paste the code from there and the mo dify the code according to need as shown
in this tutorial.

31 </body>
32 </html>
The resultant web page is shown in Fig. 3.1,
Fig. 3.1: Click on the ‘Dropdown’ button
3.3 Grid system
Bootstrap divides the each row into 12 columns. Then following commands can be used to specify the width
the columns
col-lg-4 : It will select 4 columns. Choose any number between 1-12. The ‘lg’ stand for large screen (e.g.
large computer screen).
col-md-5 : ‘md’ = medium screen
col-sm-3 : ‘sm’ = small screen
col-xs-3 : ‘xs’ = extra small screen
col-lg-offset-4 : skip first 4 columns. Simimlary use ‘md’, ‘sm’ and ‘xs’ with offset
24 PythonDSP
Chapter 3. Bootstrap
3.3.1 Example
Below is an example of grid system. Read the content of the Lines 13-16 to understand it. The resultant webpage
is shown in
Fig. 3.2.
Note:
For easy visualization, in the below code the CSS code (Lines 9-21) is used to fill the columns with colors
and border.
The columns (Lines 28-30) should be defined inside the class ‘row’ (Line 27).
Also, sum of the widths of individual columns should not be greater than 12.
Lastly, if we use ‘col-md-4’ without defining the ‘lg’, ‘sm’ and ‘xs’, then ‘md’ rule will be applicable to higher
size screen ‘lg’, but not on the lower size screen ‘sm’ and ‘xs’. Similary, if we use ‘sm’ without defining the
‘lg’, ‘md’ and ‘xs’, then rule will be applicable to higher size screen i.e. ‘lg’ and ‘md’ but not on ‘xs’

3.4 Components
Once we understand the ‘html’, ‘css’ and ‘Bootstrap-grid’ understood, then the use of Bootstrap-components
are straightforward. Just copy and paste the code from the
Bootstrap website and modify it according to the
requirement.
In this section, we will use following template.

3.4.1 Lab els
The class ‘label’ is used to create the label (Line 11).
The class ‘label-info’ sets the color of the label to ‘blue’ (Line 11).
The size of the ‘labels’ can be changes using ‘element’ tags (e.g. ‘h3’ in Line 11) outside the ‘span’ tag (Line
11).
Note: Bootstrap provides 6 color option,

Note: All the codes will be added in the ‘body’ tag, and the new code will be inserted below the previous codes.
Therefore full HTML code is not added in the tutorial.
3.4.2 Buttons
The element ‘button’ can b e used to create the button in Bootstrap as shown below,
Note:
We can use ‘lg’, ‘md’ and ‘xs’ etc. to set the size of the button.
In Line 3, a glyphicon is added (i.e. trash sign). More glyphicon can be found on the
Boostrap-webpage.

For navbar, one more ‘css’ file is added at Line 8. This CSS will create the space at the top for the ‘navbar’ so that
it will not overlap with the contents of the HTML page. Further, Lines 13-44 adds various links to the navbar.
Lastly, we can add HTML content below Line 46.

JavaScript
4.1 Introduction
JavaScript is a dynamic language which is used for designing the web pages on the client side.
It is case sensitive language.
It is untyped language i.e. a variable can hold any type of value.
// is used for comments.
; i used for line termination.
JavaScript code should be added at the end i.e. just above the closing-body-tag.
It is better to write the JavaScript code in separate file as shown in next section.
4.2 First code
The JavaScript code can be written in the ‘html’ file or in the separate ‘JavaScript file (.js)’ as shown in this
section,
4.2.1 JavaScript in HTML file
In HTML file, the JavaScript codes can be written inside the ‘script’ tag as shown in Lines 11-13 of below code.
The code will write the message “Hello World from JavaScript!” on the web page. Open the ‘js.html’ in the browser
to see the message.
1 <!-- js.html -->
2
3 <!DOCTYPE html>
4 <html>
5 <head>
6 <title>JavaScript</title>
7 </
head>
8 <body>
9
10
11 <script type="text/javascript">
12 document.write("Hello World from JavaScript!<br>");
13 </script>
14
15 </body>
16 </html>
Below is the output on the HTML page,
45
4.3. Keywords, Datatypes, Variables and Operators
Hello World from JavaScript!
4.2.1.1 JavaScript in separate file
The JavaScript code is saved in the file ‘my_javascript.js’ which is located inside the folders ‘asset/js’. Note
that, no ‘script tag’ is used here.
1 // asset/js/my_javascript.js
2
3 document.write("Hello World from JavaScript!<br>");
Next we need to imp ort the .js file in the HTML file as shown below,
1 <!-- js.html -->
2
3 <!DOCTYPE html>
4 <html>
5 <head>
6 <title>JavaScript</title>
7 </head>
8 <body>
9
10
11
12 <!-- import JavaScript files here -->
13 <script src="asset/js/my_javascript.js"></script>
14
15 </
body>
16 </html>
Now, open the ‘js.html’ file in the browser and it will display the message.
Note: We will use the second method in this tutorial.
4.3 Keywords, Datatypes, Variables and Operators
4.3.1 Keywords
Below are the reserved keywords in the JavaScript which can not be used as ‘variable’ and ‘function’ names
etc.
46 PythonDSP
Chapter 4. JavaScript
Table 4.1: List of keywords
Keywords
abstract boolean break byte
case catch char class
const continue debugger default
delete do double else
enum export extends false
final float for function
goto if implements import
in int interface long
native new null package
private protected public return
short static super switch
this throw throws transient
true try typeof var
void volatile while with
4.3.2 Datatypes
JavaScript has three types of data,
Numbers : 123, 32.32
Strings : “Meher”, “Krishna Patel”, “123”
Boolean : true, false
Note: All the numbers are considered as ‘floating point’.
4.3.3 Variables
Variables can b e define using keyword ‘var’. Further, JavaScript is untyped language i.e. a variable can hold any
type of value.
In the below HTML, ‘p’ tag with id ‘p_name’ is defined at Line 10. This id will be used to write some text
using JavaScript,
1 <!-- js.html -->
2
3 <!DOCTYPE html>
4 <html>
5 <head>
6 <title>JavaScript</title>
7 </head>
8 <body>
9
10
<p id='p_name'></p>
11
12 <!-- import JavaScript files here -->
13 <script src="asset/js/my_javascript.js"></script>
14
15 </body>
16 </html>
Two variables are defined at Lines 9-10 of type ‘string’ and ‘float’ respectively. Then getElementById
is used to locate the tag with id ‘p_name’ and the text is inserted as shown in Line 11. Lastly, the + sign
is used to concatenate the values as Line 11.
47 Meher Krishna Patel
4.3. Keywords, Datatypes, Variables and Operators
1 // asset/js/my_javascript
2
3
4 // print message on the webpage
5 document.write("Hello World from JavaScript!<br>");
6
7
8 // variable example
9 var your_name = "Meher";
10 var age = 20;
11 document.getElementById("p_name").innerHTML= "Hello "+ your_name + "<br>Age : " + age;
Below is the output of above codes. Note that the message ‘Hello World from JavaScript!’ is added at the
end as ‘JavaScript’ file is imported at the end.
Warning: If we import the ‘JavaScript’ file between the ‘ending-head-tag’ and ‘start-body-tag’, then Message
‘Hello Meher . . . will not be displayed as ‘JavaScript’ will execute b efore the loading of the page; and JavaScript
can not find the id ‘p_name’.
Hello Meher
Age : 20
Hello World from JavaScript!
Note: All the JavaScript/HTML co des will be added below the existing codes, therefore only the newly added
code will be s hown in the rest of the tutorial.
‘prompt’ can be used to read the values from the user.
// prompt
var x = prompt("enter a number");
document.write("2 * ", x, " = ", 2*x + "<br>");
A pop-up window will appear due to prompt. If we provide the input value as 3, then below output will be
generated,
2 * 3 = 6
Note: The ‘,’ and ‘+’ can b e used to combine various outputs as shown in ab ove example
4.3.4 Op erators
Various operators are shown in this section. The usage of some of these operators are shown in Section 4.4.
4.3.4.1 Arithmetic operators
+
-
*
/
% : modulus i.e remainder of the division
++ (increment)
(decrement)
48 PythonDSP
Chapter 4. JavaScript
4.3.4.2 Assignment operators
=
+=
-=
*=
/=
%=
4.3.4.3 Comparison operators
== (compare only values not type)
=== (compare both values and type)
!=
>
<
>=
<=
4.3.4.4 Conditional operator
?:
e.g. ( (a > b) ? a/b : b/a) ) i.e if a>b then do a/b else do b/a
4.3.4.5 Logical operators
&& (logical and)
|| (logical or)
! (logical not)
4.3.4.6 Bitwise operators
& (and)
| (or)
^ (xor)
~ (not)
4.3.5 String to number conversion
‘Number’ is used to convert the string into numbers.
// string to number conversion
document.write("2 + Number('3.4') = ", 2 + Number('3.4'), "<br>");
Below is the output of above code,
2 + Number('3.4') = 5.4
4.3.6 Convert to integer
A string or float value can b e converted into integer using ‘parseInt’
49 Meher Krishna Patel
4.3. Keywords, Datatypes, Variables and Operators
// int conversion
document.write("2 + parseInt('3.4') = ", 2 + parseInt('3.4'), "<br>"); // string to int
document.write("2 + parseInt(3.4) = ", 2 + parseInt(3.4), "<br>"); // float to int
Below are the outputs of above code,
2 + parseInt('3.4') = 5
2 + parseInt(3.4) = 5
4.3.7 Convert to float
The ‘parseFloat’ or ‘Number’ can be used to convert the value into float values.
document.write("2 + parseFloat('3.4') = ", 2 + parseFloat("3.4"), "<br>"); // parseFloat
4.3.8 Math
‘Math’ library contains various useful function as shown below,
// math
document.write("pi = ", Math.PI, "<br>");
document.write("e = ", Math.E, "<br>");
document.write("similarly we can use 'abs', 'floor', 'ceil' and 'round' etc. <br>")
document.write("random number : ", Math.ceil(Math.random()*20), "<br>"); // enter random number
Below are the ouputs of above code,
pi = 3.141592653589793
e = 2.718281828459045
similarly we can use 'abs', 'floor', 'ceil' and 'round' etc.
random number : 16
4.3.9 String
Below are the some of the useful ‘string-styles’,
// string
document.write("meher".toUpperCase(), "<br>") // uppercase
w = "Krishna"
document.write(w.toLowerCase(), "<br>") // lowercase
document.write(w.small(), "<br>") // small
document.write(w.bold(), "<br>") // bold
document.write(w.strike(), "<br>") // strike
document.write(w.fontsize("5em"), "<br>") // strike
document.write(w.link("http://pythondsp.readthedocs.io"), "<br>") // link
document.write(w.fontcolor("red").fontsize("12em"), "<br>") // multiple
The outputs are shown in Fig. 4.1
4.3.10 Arrays
In JavaScript, the arrays can store different types of values as shown in below code,
50 PythonDSP
Chapter 4. JavaScript
Fig. 4.1: String styles
// arrays
arr = [15, 30, "Meher"]
for(a in arr)
document.write(arr[a], " ");
document.write("<br>");
document.write(arr.pop(), "<br>"); // remove last element
arr.push("Krishna"); // add element to end
document.write(arr.pop(), "<br>");
document.write("lenght of array: ", arr.length, "<br>");
Below are the output of above code,
15 30 Meher
Meher
Krishna
lenght of array: 2
4.4 Control structure, loops and functions
4.4.1 If-else
In the below code, three conditions are checked for the variable ‘age’; and corresponding message is printed.
// asset/js/my_javascript
// if-else
age = 10;
if (age > 3 && age < 6){
document.write("Age : " + age + "<b> go to kindergarten</b>");
}
else if ( age >=6 && age < 18){
document.write("Age : " + age + "<b> go to school</b>");
}
else{
document.write("Age : " + age + "<b> go to college</b>");
(continues on next page)
51 Meher Krishna Patel
4.4. Control structure, loops and functions
(continued from previous page)
}
document.write("<br>");
Since age is 10, therefore ‘else if statement is satisfied and we will get below output,
Age : 10 go to school
4.4.2 Switch-case-default
Below is an example of Switch-case-default statement,
// asset/js/my_javascript
// switch-case
var grade = 'A';
document.write("Grade " + grade + " : ");
switch(grade){
case 'A':
document.write("Very good grade!");
break;
case 'B':
document.write("Good grade!");
break;
default: // if grade is neither 'A' nor 'B'
document.write("Enter correct grade");
}
document.write("<br>");
Below is the output of above code,
Grade A : Very good grade!
4.4.3 For loop
Below code prints the value from 5-0,
// For loop
for (i=5; i>=0; i--){
document.write(i + " ");
}
document.write("<br>");
Below is the output,
5 4 3 2 1 0
4.4.4 While loop
Below code prints the value from 0-4,
// While loop
x=0;
while(x < 5){
document.write(x + " ");
x++;
}
document.write("<br>");
52 PythonDSP
Chapter 4. JavaScript
4.4.5 do-while
Below code prints the value from 0-2,
// do-while
x=0;
do{
document.write(x + " ");
x++;
}while(x < 3);
document.write("<br>");
Below is the output,
0 1 2
4.4.6 for-in loop
The ‘for-in’ loop can be used to iterate over the array as shown below,
// for-in loop
arr = [10, 12, 31]; // array
for (a in arr){
document.write(arr[a] + " ");
}
document.write("<br>");
4.4.7 Continue and break
Continue and break statements are used inside the ‘loop’ statements.
Continue will skip the loop and go to next iteration, if the condition is met. In the below code, 3 will not be
printed at the output.
// continue
for (i=5; i>=0; i--){
if (i==3){ // skip 3
continue;
}
document.write(i + " ");
}
document.write("<br>");
Below is the output where 3 is not printed in the output.
5 4 2 1 0
‘Break’ statement will quit the loop if the condition is met. In the below code, the for loop will be terminated
at ‘i=3’, therefore only 5 and 4 will be printed,
// break
for (i=5; i>=0; i--){
if (i==3){ // exit loop when i=3
break;
}
document.write(i + " ");
}
document.write("<br>");
Below is the output of the above code,
53 Meher Krishna Patel
4.5. Event handling
5 4
4.4.8 Functions
In the below code a function ‘add2Num’ is defined which adds the two numbers and returns the result.
// function
function add2Num(num1, num2){ // function definition
return num1 + num2;
}
sum
= add2Num(2, 3); // function call
document.write("2 + 3 = " + sum);
document.write("<br>");
Below is the output,
2 + 3 = 5
4.5 Event handling
One of the main usage of JavaScript is ‘event handling’. “Mouse click” and ‘pressing keys on keyboard’ are the
example of ‘events’. With the help of JavaScript, we can perform certain actions at the occurrence of the events,
as shown below.
‘alert’ is used to display message in the ‘pop up’ window.
function alertMessage(message){
alert(message)
}
In Line 13, message ‘Hello’ is shown in the pop-up window on the event ‘onclick’. Note that
“JavaScript:void(0)” is used here, which does not refresh the page.
Line 15 is same as Line 13, but
JavaScript:void(0)” is not used, therefore page will b e refreshed.
Line 17 calls the function ‘alertMessage’ to display the mesage, which is defined in the above code.
Lines 19-25 use different events i.e. ‘onmouseover’, ‘onmouseleave’, ‘onmouseup’ and ‘onmousedown’; and
the color and the text of the string changes based on these operations.

4.6 Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have selected the element with certain ‘id’ using ‘getElementById’. Also, we saw the example
of ‘event handling’ Although, we can use JavaScript for these operations, but it is better to use jQuery for these
purposes, which is discussed in Chapter 5. A good approach is use to the jQuery for ‘selectors’ & ‘event handling’
and then use various features of JavaScript which are described in
Section 4.4 to implement the logics.

jQuery
5.1 Introduction
jQuery is the Javascipt library.
5.1.1 Requirements
First create a file ‘jQuery.html’. Next, we need three files, i.e. one CSS (Line 9) and two Javascipt (Lines
23-24), for using the jQuery in this tutorial. These files are saved inside the folder ‘asset’, which can be
downloaded from the repository. Lines 9 and 24 are the bootstrap files, whereas Line 23 is the actual
‘jQuery’ file which is required to use the jQuery.
Note: Note that, the ‘jQuery.js’ files should be placed above the ‘bootstrap.js’ file, otherwise the bootstrap-
javascipt will not work.

5.2. jQuery examples
5.2 jQuery examples
Following are the important parts for writing a jQuery,
Selectors : to select the specific element (e.g. ‘id’, ‘class’ etc.) for op erations.
Event handling : perform some operations (hide, toggle etc.) on the selected items at some events (e.g.
click, mouser over etc.).
In this section, we will see the working of of jQuery with the help of some examples. Then in
Section 5.3, we will
see various methods to use the selectors to target the specific elements. Next, a list of operations are shown in
Table 5.2. Finally in Section 5.5, a list of events are shown which can be used to initiate the operations.
5.2.1 Add jQuery code
Now, we can add the jQuery code as shown in Lines 36-40. Please note the following part,
$ sign is used to hit the jQuery. In the simple words, we can say that it execute the jQuery.
The code is written between the following block. This block stops the jQuery to execute until the whole page
is loaded, i.e. jQuery will be executed after completion of the page-download.
$(function() {
// write code here
});
The above block is a shorthand for below,
$(document).ready(function() {
// write code here
});
Note: We can use multiple blocks, if we want to separate the codes; or we can write all the jQueries within one
block.
Lastly, the below line hides the id “l_default” after 1000 ms, i.e. ‘Default’ label will not be displayed after
1000 ms as shown in
Fig. 5.2
$("#l_default").hide(1000); // hide id = 'l_default' using # operator after 300 ms

Fig. 5.2: Label ‘Default’ is hidden after 1000 ms
Note: ‘#” is used to select the ‘id’; whereas ‘.’ is sued to access the ‘class’.
In the below code, the label ‘Danger’ is removed; and “opacity=‘0.5’ is set for rest of the labels. Here,
‘.label’ selects all the classes which have the name ‘label’ in it. Since all the entries have classes with name
‘label’, therefore all are selected and faded according to ‘opacity=‘0.5’, as shown in Fig. 5.3.

5.2.2 jQuery in separate file
It is better to write the jQuery in the separate files, therefore the codes are more manageable.
For this, first write the code in the separate file ‘my_jquery.js’ as below,
Note: ‘html’ is used to change the content of the ‘id’ as shown in Line 5 below listing (see Fig. 5.4)
1 // asset/js/my_jquery.js
2
3 $(function() {
4 $("#l_default").hide(1000); // hide id = 'l_default' using # operator after 300 ms
5 $(".label-danger").html("Shark is dangerous"); // change content using 'html'
6 });
Next, import this file to ‘html’ as shown in Line 35 of below code,
1 <!-- jQuery.html -->

5.2.3.1 Toggle label on mouse click
In this section, the ‘mouse click’ on the button ‘Toggle Warning Label (Line 29)’ is read; and then the label
‘warning’ is toggled.
The method ‘on’ waits for user’s input ‘click (i.e. mouse click)’.
On mouse-click next query i.e. ‘toggle’ is executed which hides/unhide the ‘warning label’ as shown in
Fig.
5.5
- Fig. 5.6.
1 // asset/js/my_jquery.js
2
3 // 'hide label' and 'change content'
4 $(function() {
5 $("#l_default").hide(1000); // hide id = 'l_default' using # operator after 300 ms
6 $(".label-danger").html("Shark is dangerous"); // change content using 'html'
7 });

// toggle 'warning label' based on click on the button 'Toggle Warning Label'
11 $(function() {
12 $('#b_warning').on('click', function(){
13 $('#l_warning').toggle();
14 });
15 });
5.2.3.2 Toggle label based on the buttons
In previous section, we wrote the code which can toggle only one lab el. In this section, we will toggle multiple
labels by writing one-generalized-jQuery as shown in Fig. 5.7.
62 PythonDSP
Chapter 5. jQuery
Fig. 5.5: Hide label ‘warning’
Fig. 5.6: Show label ‘warning’
Lines 21-26 and 31-38 of Listing 5.1 are used for this section,
Custom attributes “label_id=. . . are added in each button which has the value which corresponds to one
of the ‘label’s id’. e.g. ‘label_id’ for Line 33 (i.e. l_default) is same as ‘id’ at Line 21.
Next, in the below jQuery, we saved the ‘label_id’ in a variable (see Line 21) and then the variable is used
to toggle the labels.
Listing 5.2: Toggle the label based on the button-clicked
1 // asset/js/my_jquery.js

4 $(function() {
5 $("#l_default").hide(1000); // hide id = 'l_default' using # operator after 300 ms

(continued from previous page)
22 $('#' + labelId).toggle(); // toggle the label with id stored in 'label_id'
23 });
24 });
5.3 Selectors
In this section, we will use following HTML to understand the various combination of the selectors which are
summarized in
Table 5.1,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>jQuery Selectors</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>jQuery Selectors</p>
<p class="foo"> Paragraph with class.</p>
<p><span>Paragraph with span.</span></p>
<
p id="bar">Paragraph with ID. <span class="foo">Span with class and inside the paragraph-with-id.</
˓span></p>
<
div>
<p my-id="my_para">Paragraph (with custom id) inside the div</p>
<p my-id="my_para2"><span>Span inside the paragraph (with custom id) inside the div</span></p>
</div>
<!-- Javascript -->
<script src="asset/js/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Note:
Press ‘ctrl+shift+k’ (or go to Tools->Web Developer->Web Console) to open the web-console in Firefox
and click on ‘console’ and type the ‘jQuery’ commands there.
Press ‘ctrl+shift+J’ (or go to Tools->Javascript Console) in Chrome and type the jQuery commands there.
In this tutorial, the output of the ‘Firefox’ are shown.
5.3.1 Select elements
5.3.1.1 Select HTML elements
HTML elements, e.g. div, p, span and table etc., can be selected by writing them with the quotation mark as
shown in b elow codes.
Here, ‘$(‘p’) is the command, whereas the lines below it are the outputs.
The outputs show the ‘selected elements’; and the total number of selected elements i.e. ‘length: 6’.
If we put the cursor to one of the outputs, then it will highlight the corresponding elements in the html as
shown in
Fig. 5.8.
64 PythonDSP
Chapter 5. jQuery
$('p')
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p class="foo">
2: <p>
3: <p id="bar">
4: <p my-id="my_para">
5: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 6
Fig. 5.8: Output of $(‘p’); (see red-squares)
Similarly, we can select ‘div’ elements
$('div')
{...}
0: <div>
length: 1
5.3.1.2 Select class
Class can be selected using ‘.’ operator. In below code, class ‘foo’ is selected.
$(".foo")
{...}
0: <p class="foo">
1: <span class="foo">
length: 2
5.3.1.3 Select ID
ID can be selected using ‘#’ operator. In the below code, id ‘bar’ is selected.
$('#bar')
[...]
0: <p id="bar">
length: 1
5.3.1.4 Combining selectors
We can select a element with specific class name using ‘.’ operator as shown in below code. Here element ‘span’
with class ‘foo’ is selected,
65 Meher Krishna Patel
5.3. Selectors
$("span.foo")
{...}
0: <span class="foo">
length: 1
5.3.1.5 Multiple selectors
Use ‘,’ to select different types of elements. In the below code, “paragraph with id ‘bar’ and “elements with class
‘foo’ are selected ,
$('p#bar, .foo')
{...}
0: <p class="foo">
1: <p id="bar">
2: <span class="foo">
length: 3
5.3.1.6 Select descendant element
Select ‘span’ inside the ‘p’ (use space between ‘span’ and ‘p’),
$('p span')
{...}
0: <span>
1: <span class="foo">
2: <span>
length: 3
5.3.1.7 Select child element
The ‘>’ is used to select the child of an element.
$('div>span')
{...}
length: 0
Note: There is one element inside ‘div’ but it’s path is ‘div->p->span’ therefore ‘span’ is a child of ‘p’ (not of
‘div’). But tgis ‘span’ is the descendant of ‘div’ therefore can be accessed using space,
$('div span')
{...}
0: <span>
length: 1
5.3.1.8 Attribute selector
Custom attributes can be selected as below,
$('[my-id = my_para]')
{...}
0: <p my-id="my_para">
length: 1
(continues on next page)
66 PythonDSP
Chapter 5. jQuery
(continued from previous page)
$('p[my-id != my_para]') // select p with 'my-id != my_para'
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p class="foo">
2: <p>
3: <p id="bar">
4: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 5
$('p[class = foo]')
{...}
0: <p class="foo">
length: 1
5.3.2 Filters
Various filter options (e.g. filter, first, last and has etc.) can be used after ‘:’ as shown below,
$('p:first') // select first element
{...}
0: p
$('p:last') // last element
{...}
0: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 1
$('p:not(.foo)') // 'p' which does not have class 'foo'
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p>
2: <p id="bar">
3: <p my-id="my_para">
4: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 5
$('p:has(span)') // 'p' which has 'span' inside it
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p id="bar">
2: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 3
$('p:hidden') // hidden 'p'
{...}
length: 0
$('p:visible') // visible 'p'
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p class="foo">
2: <p>
3: <p id="bar">
4: <p my-id="my_para">
5: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 6
$('p:contains(with class)') // paragraph which contains class inside it
(continues on next page)
67 Meher Krishna Patel
5.3. Selectors
(continued from previous page)
{...}
0: <p class="foo">
1: <p id="bar">
length: 2
$('p').filter(".foo") // same as p.foo
{...}
0: <p class="foo">
length: 1
$('p').not(".foo") // p with not class foo
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p>
2: <p id="bar">
3: <p my-id="my_para">
4: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 5
$('p').last() // last element of 'p'
{...}
0: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 1
$('p').has('span') // p with span
{...}
0: <p>
1: <p id="bar">
2: <p my-id="my_para2">
length: 3
$('p').is('.foo') // does 'p' contain 'foo'
true
$('p').children() // children of 'p'
{...}
0: <span>
1: <span class="foo">
2: <span>
length: 3
$('p').children(".foo") // child of 'p' with class 'foo'
{...}
0: <span class="foo">
length: 1
