I am trying to create a form where you are able to calculate what a total car cost would be based on a 6.25% of the CarAmount. Then I would like to be able to add $125 that with is TitleProcess and then $99 to that which is the LicenseFee. Right now I have not been able to get the tax to work on this code. If someone could get this all to work that would be great, or else even if you program your own code.

Thank you so much!

I am a total noob to JS and need a little help.

Currently writing some small snippets to control iTunes.

An example:
Code:

var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application"); 
iTunesApp.LibraryPlaylist.AddFile('B:\\filetoadd.mp4');

Nicely adds a file to the library.

Now, i need to set the encoder. I try this:

Code:

var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
iTunesApp.CurrentEncoder("MP3");

I get: object doesn't support this property of method.

iTunes SDK docs:


HRESULT IiTunes::CurrentEncoder ( [in] IITEncoder * iEncoder )

Sets the current encoder (AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, etc.).


Parameters:
iEncoder An IITEncoder object corresponding to the new encoder.


Any ideas?

Hello all,

This is my first post here, so I apologize if I didn't format this correctly. I am trying to figure out where I went wrong in my code. The objective is to display all lines of the song using a switch statement. I thought I had my head wrapped around it, but apparently not. Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction, or telling me what I did wrong here? I would be greatly appreciative! Thank you for your consideration folks.

Code:

<html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Excercise 8.11</title>
<script type = "text/javascript">
for (var day = 1; day <=5; day++) {

switch (day) {

case 1: document.write("On the "+day+"st of Christmas, my true love gave to me, A partridge in a pear tree.");

case 2: doucment.write("On the "+day+"th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Two turtle doves,<br>");

case 3: document.write("On the "+day+"th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Three French hens,<br>");

case 4: document.write("On the "+day+"th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Four calling birds,<br>");

case 5: document.write("On the "+day+"th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Five golden rings,<br>");
break;
}
}
</script>

Hello!

I have wanted to learn JS/PHP/MySQL for like six-seven years and I have in periods quitted and started with HTML/CSS because I always find CSS as an obstacle. I am a perfectionist, so I want everything to be perfect and I get frustrated when I don't know when to use %, px, em, when to use bla and bla.. And besides, I suck at design. I don't have an eye for that.

I just want to get started with the fun stuff - get some interaction with the user. Can I start learning JS without really mastering CSS and then hopefully get back to CSS afterwards? And would I want to learn JS or jQuery at first?

Thanks!
