JavaScript - Extreme Slowdown In Hta Learning Project

I am currently trying to learn the <form> object.

Now I have done some things within <form> like setting up text fields with submit buttons, etc..

But now on this part of the course it is showing properties I think, within the decleration of the <form> such as shown below

Code:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/correct.pl" onSubmit="return false;">

Could someone explain to me what that ACTION="/cgi-bin/corrct.pl" is for along with the onSubmit="return false;" ??

I'd like an explanation of the properties of <form> if you could please.

Hello everyone,

I am currently going through the process of learning JavaScript and I am enjoying it. I also know enough about HTML & CSS and I am learning more and more each day. I started doing this because I figured that finding a technical co-founder is extremely hard and I have always been interested in web and app development, so why not learn...

I was wonding whether someone could direct me?

I want to be able to develop websites such as scan.me or gumroad.com (similar concepts). Which code stack are these websites generally made up of (e.g php, HTML CSS and java).

I'm hoping to develop my own platform/concept in the future but I am just trying to get a general idea of the direction I am going down.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
I'm in the process of learning JavaScript. I picked up a "JavaScript for dummies" book at the library and it wasn't going too well. It was poorly written and made it difficult to understand things in the later chapter.

What is the best online resource to learning JavaScript? Preferrably one that is good at explaining format ( I often find myself wondering if certain aspects in my script need ()'s or a "=" sign).

For example, HTML has tags and that is what forms the mark up. I know JavaScript has multiple aspects (functions, objects), but I want an online resourcethat properly explains the format of these aspects.

Thank you

In order to learn "cool" javascript such as rollovers that you find on websites today; what would any of you guys reccomend me doing. I want to learn how to make my webpage interactive and i know what i want to do;

i just dont know how to do it

any suggestions are welcome;
thank you

Hi all



How should I be doing this?

I am trying to 'learn' how to set more than one value in a cookie.
Then get them back out. Obviously i'm on the wrong track.

These are my 'test' values:
Code:

var val = document.getElementById("yrname").value; //peterPan
var val1 = document.getElementById("password").value; //tinkerBell
//send to create cookie factory
createCookie("inbed", val + '~' + val1, "1");

Then from url : alert(cookie)

I get:
inbed=peterPan~tinkerBell

So far so good (well what I expected anyway)

now using this function I completely lose tinkerBell.
she was inbed with peterPan.


Code:

function readCookie(name) //name is passed in
{  
    var cookies = document.cookie.split(/~/g); //split at ~
		//alert(cookies);
		//results:
		//cookies: inbed=peterPan,tinkerBell
		//cookies[0]: mytestcookie=peterPan
		// cookies[1]: tinkerBell //the last sighting 		
    var arg = name + "=";  
    for ( var c = 0; c < cookies.length; ++c ) //iterate through the cookie
    {			
        var ck = cookies[c]; //cookie array into an var
	//alert(ck); //inbed=peterPan (no tinkerBell -- not what I expected!
        
	 //basically i'm now lost!!!
	//I don't get what happened to tinkerBell .
				
	if ( ck.indexOf(arg) == 0 ) 
//if the array at the index of arg 'name=' equal to position 0.
        {
            var temp = ck.split(/=/); //split the  cookie array at =
	//alert(temp); //inbed=peterPan
	//alert(temp[0]); //inbed
	//alert(temp[1]); //peterPan
							,
            return decodeURI(temp[1]) //bring back array 1
        }
    }
    return "";
}

help on how I should
be doing this
much appreciated

Hello all.

I have been taking a JavaScript course on Udemy that while has been a very good course as far as I can tell, it has been short on practical exercises. Lots of examples, lots of showing different concepts and methods, etc, just short on the reinforcing and confidence building exercises.

Thus, the point to my post here. I wish there were some kind of web developing club here locally but alas if you don't hunt, fish, drink or chew tobacco you are kind of left out, LOL. Well its not that bad, I make fun of it, but sometimes it seems so. At any rate, I'm looking for some kind of resource or something I can participate in that will help me use what I am learning and help me build some experience, etc. I want to get past the 'noob' stage as quickly as I can and as far as I know the quickest way to do that is to start coding even if its really simple stuff and working to more complicated coding.

So, does anyone know of such resources? Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Ok guys, i am starting from he

http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/primer5.shtml

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var example
example=document.lastModified
document.write("This page was last modified: "+example)
</script>

I am having trouble understanding an actual situation which may require the above coding, can anyone give an example please?

I have no js experience or coding experience of any kind other than the last few hours of reading a book called 'object-oriented javascript', and all was well until loops.

firstly, this is how he teaches the while loop...

var i = 0;
while (i <10)
{i++;}

which results in 9

we move on to for loops...

var res ='';
for( var i = 0; i <10; i++)
{res += 'sometext' ;}

which repeats,
but I'd like to be able to make that into a sequence of numbers... 123456789.

how do I do that? thanks.

Hi, as the title states, I'm trying to learn some basic javascript, more particularly, jQuery.

I HATE having to "allow" active content to run on my IE browser. Is there a way to allow active content permanantly? Instead of having to click allow each time I refresh or reload my test pages?

Also, IE keeps freezing or crashing when I run pages with scripts on them. Is this just my browser? or something to do with the active content permissions?

Trying to google my questions, but no luck yet.

I have to simulate a carnival wheel that has a similar layout to roulette in that the numbers range form 0-36 with the even numbers colored red and the odd numbers colored black. The page needs to have a button that "spins" the wheel (generates a random number) when you click the button. The results of the spin needs to be displayed in a text box and the background of the page needs to change to black if the # is odd and change to red if the # is even.

I desperately need guidance with this so I would appreciate any help. I really have no background with JavaScript so I'm pretty much doing this blindly. Please help.

I'm working on a project (not for anyone in particular) called JSget. It's a JS framework that makes "getting" HTML elements in javascript easier. It's similar in function to jQuery, but it has a very different interface. Unlike jQuery, I use more javascript-like methods of getting elements, while jQuery gets elements based on parsed strings. I'm off to a good start but this project is no where closed to finished. The JSget script can be found here and I've created a testing page that utilizes some of its features here. I'm looking for collaborators who meet the following criteria: Enthusiatic about the project. Someone who likes the idea and is willing to put effort into it. An experienced coder in Javascript. You don't need to be an expert, but I'm not looking for beginners. Someone who doesn't just want to rewrite my code, but is interested on building on it.
Also, please understand that I am a snob when it comes to "clean" code. I run everything I write through "JSLint".

So, if you're interested, please reply to this thread or contact me by email at jazzo@jazzothegreat.com

If your not completely interested, don't reply out of pity.

Thanks,
Jazzo

Building an inventory of financial models. 500-1000 small models. Need a few more programmers for launch.

In college i need to make a website, i have chosen to do one about gaming. One of the tools i want to add in about javascirpt is how to get a Xbox360 Gamercard to be in a corner off the website and updates when new achievements are earned. I understand i need to be able to connect to xbox.com to get details on the gamertag but i am new to the javascript language. Has anyone done a script for anything like this or know where i can find one. Ive tried googling etc for one and tried it for myself but i aint getting no where, let alone know if what ive tried scripting even exsists.
