Help needed for coding test . . .

I've been a project manager for the past several years, and my programming
chops are a bit rusty, so I'm soliciting help for a programming test for a
job. (I don't feel at all dishonest for doing this because, frankly, I would
have absolutely no compunctions about asking my betters for help if I were
actually on the job.) I've been out of work for nearly 2 years now, and
REALLY need this job, so any help would be immensely appreciated!



Here's the test:

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I HAVE done this stuff in the past, and am confident that it will all
come back to me once I get into it.

news:12u613hqtjnd1e2@corp.supernews.com...The prospective employer actually wants you to write markup/code like this:

<a href="http://www.critterstore.com/index.html" onClick="window.open(this.href); return
false;">Critter Store</a>

....? I hope they make up in salary what they lack in programmatic thinking.

Also, three out of four of those "tests" have nothing to do with JavaScript. The only one
that does actually has "javascript" in the name.

The other thing that I noticed is the requirements for a "web developer." You are asking
for some *VERY* trivial help, yet actually think you qualify as:

"Expert with XHTML, CSS, & JavaScript"

If no bell ringed for any of questions then you are on a narrow time
frame. Run for metadrin and Coca-Cola Classic - not too much of sleep
and a lot of computer sitting in front of you ;-)

comp.lang.javascript is not a universal helper, sorry, each newsgroup
for its own stuff. I answered the one related with javascript
programming (#4). For ## 1-3 post the question separately in relevant
newsgroups, hints for introductory questions are provided.
On .site-design and .html make it clear that you need basic
observations - otherwise it may become a week long discussion for an
absolute perfectness. :-)

I wish you to get the job.

Just post the code over copy/paste

<input type="text" name="searchbox" value="Enter Keywords"
onfocus="this.value='';"
onblur="if (this.value == '') {
this.value='Enter Keywords';
}"

"Write an inline Javascript code on input text box so that when you
click in it, the text "Enter Keywords" disappears and allows users to
type in keywords and search, if you deselect the input field without
entering text "Enter Keywords" should appear back."

- that code fails to meet the specification and so may be judged as a
wrong answer to the question.

The OP should keep in mind that answers provided on Usenet are not
