Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce a number of client-side scripts for dynamic web pages, using a range of features from different appropriate languages.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to those working in web development who are required to produce client-side scripts as a common means of creating interactive websites. These scripts offer an effective simple means of enabling websites to provide greater interaction with clients.
Client side scripting may be used for purposes, such as form validation, but only in areas where they would affect only the document in question and no outside objects.

2. Design and produce web documents |
2.1 Design web document and embedded scripts to achieve required functionality 2.2 Write simple hypertext markup language (HTML) considering accessibility 2.3 Write embedded scripts |
3. Test scripts and debug |
3.1 Test web document against required functionality, and reiterate until correct 3.2 Complete documentation and submit to appropriate person for approval |

Guidance information for assessment |
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate. Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support. In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. |
