CSC2102 - Web Programming I - In class Activity

Create a web page that allows users to input a URL, confirm their choice to open the URL, and then open
the website in a new tab based on their decision.

HTML Structure:

●​ Define a form with an input field for users to enter the URL.
●​ Add a button that opens the entered URL upon click.
●​ Include a placeholder text to show success once the URL is opened.

JavaScript to Handle Button Click:

In the <script> section, implement a function that:

●​ Reads the entered URL.


●​ Checks if the URL starts with http:// or https://. If not, the function should prepend https:// to the
URL. (HINT: str.startsWith("http://") checks whether a string starts with "http://")
●​ Asks for confirmation from the user before proceeding to open the URL. (HINT: confirm())
●​ Upon confirmation, the URL should open in a new tab, and a success message should be displayed.

Attach the JavaScript Function to the Button:

●​ Use the onclick event to link the function to the button click.
