A simple block/tag translator example
To help understand translation, look at a translator that is written entirely in JavaScript, which does not rely on a C
library for any functionality. The following translator example would be more efficient if it were written in C, but the
JavaScript version is simpler, which makes it perfect for demonstrating how translators work.
As with most translators, this one is designed to mimic server behavior. Assume that your web server is configured
to replace the
tag with a different picture of an engineer, depending on the day of the week, the time of day, and
KENT
the user's platform. The translator does the same thing, only locally.
To create the block/tag translator:
1
Create a new blank file.
Enter the following code:
2
<html>
<head>
<title>Kent Tag Translator</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=">
<script language="JavaScript">
// The translatorClass
// The title
// The number of extensions
// The first extension
// The second extension
// The number of expressions
// The first expression
//
//
