QLANADMIN (web-mode) Using JavaScript

A modified version of the line-mode QLANADMIN uses static HTML code and a simple JavaScript function to perform the LDAP search.

A later version uses JavaScript to dynamically build HTML code to provide a specialized display, similar to the line-mode version but with more data. Components utilized:

• Netscape V4 Web browser (builtin LDAP client)
• Web page with JavaScript coding
• no special HTML coding to reformat results for first/simpler (static) version
• JavaScript formatted HTML coding to reformat LDAP data into seperate Web page with special formatting for dynamic version
• no Web server or Web server scripts
• no change in LDAP data

Static Web-mode returned results:

• all LDAP data allowed to be accessed; nothing filtered as was with line-mode script
• display format uncontrolled - ``raw'' format as returned by LDAP server; similar to what is returned by LDAPSEARCH tool
• used simple coding to build LDAP query
• results obtained by inserting new URL, with LDAP query embedded in it, into current Web page location field
