• Using Javascript / AJAX

• If it is a users first time visiting the page or the cookies (to be discussed) have expired, they are prompted for their name.

• Otherwise, the name stored in the cookie is used.

• Their name is then sought in a list of important people, important.txt using an AJAX call.

• If their name is not found, the page adds a message, No greeting for you! and their name is not saved, but

• if their name is found, the page can animate as follows:

  • They see a panel of 51 labelled buttons for animation speed settings (0 = off, and 1-50 increase in speed) and a panel of 3 buttons for colours red, yellow, and blue.

  • If the cookie was there when the page loaded, their past choice of speed and colour should automatically be selected and the animation (to be described) begins.

  • Otherwise, the form starts off with speed 0 and colour red selected.
