As a bit of background, I am a retired IT software developer, so I know all about programming and development. But my career was on IBM midrange AS400's (aka iSeries, System i, etc.). But I am an inexperienced neophyte with web programming.

I have been working on modifying JGrana's arrismon script - basically adding login and password stuff because my Arris modem requires logins to capture the modem stats. So far shell scripting is going fine; it is straight forward for me. Even though I don't have experience with Linux, if I do enough internet research, I've been able to come up with the code needed to make arrismon do what I want to do. Cool.

So now I am ready to modify the WebUI components to capture these login and password credentials in the WebUI. But WOW this stuff is Greek. So far, I haven't been able to piece together enough to determine exactly how the various components - the script, the ASP and the JS - work together. Not wishing to get into too many details here is a post/thread, can anyone point me in the direction of some tutorials or URL links that I can go through to help me understand where to go from here?

Thanks, Bill
 
Arrismon is a small fork of modmon done by @Jack Yaz . Minor edits actually ;-)
I am also stumped by the javascript and .asp files.
One thing I have found is that using githubs View lets me at least read them fairly well. Using vi was a mess. I can view them better - still getting my head around the inter working though…

Maybe @Jack Yaz and @dave14305 can do a lesson on these files.

I would pay ;-)
 
Separating the JavaScript into a separate file from the ASP is not necessary, but seems to be a personal preference of Jack (to minify the JavaScript).
