JavaScript Goodies JOEBack to the tutorial

Tuh-Ip      We have all of the returns up and ready for display, but there’s one more test before the user gets the effect. It’s always something ain’t it? Here’s the script and its effect once again: And here’s the script itself.      After you write a computer language for a while, you start to find […]

Tehp…      I’m not sure how many different ways I’m going to be able to keep coming up with to misspell and make plays on the word “tip”.       OK! We start a new tip. This tip is a basic drop down link menu. I remember very well when this form of creating links came […]

Forty-Tip-Two…      When I started JavaGoodies, oh so long ago, I was sent a lot of scripts that were posted straightaway. I needed to fill space at first. As the months went on, I became more selective in what should be posted. I guess the two biggest criteria in posting a script were: is it […]

15% Tip… Now we have the image from the prompt. Next we need to grab the image’s height and width without any input from the viewer. Then we need to display it. First, refresh yourself on the script and its workings. When the prompt appears, put in “angel.jpg”(without the quotes)! See it in Action […]

Have a nice Tip… This script arrived from Tim Wolfskill. The script is quite functional. If you ever have trouble writing code for frames, like I do, then this is the script for you. On top of its functionality, it offers some new JavaScript coding for us to look at. Plus, like last week, […]

We’re underway with a new script. Here’s the code again to get us up to date. function JemWebCONFIRM() {if (!confirm (“YOUR MESSAGE GOES HERE”)) history.go(-1);return ” “} In this Tip we’re going to focus on that “function” up in the script. Here’s the basic concept. There are a lot of commands in […]

Tip 41…      Ever since I announced we would be playing around with this drop-down menu, the mail has been coming in saying “When are you going to get to the configuration that allows me to use this across frames?” Wait no longer. We’re there. Here’s the script’s latest configuration: See It In Action      The […]

Tip Forty-Tree…      I have found that one of the hardest things about writing a JavaScript is trying to set up code so that every possible thing a user could do is handled in one way or another. I always forget something.      The author of this script put in some code that I would never […]

Take a Tip… Okay, let’s do some math! We have the image’s height, width, and will soon have a new height from the user. Here’s the script and its effect once again. When the prompt appears, put in “angel.jpg”(without the quotes)! See it in Action Last week we looked at the first table. We’re […]

Take a Tip… All the elements are in place. We have the original image height and width and the image’s new height and width. Now all that is left is to display it. Here’s the script and its effect once again. When the prompt appears, put in “angel.jpg”(without the quotes)! See It In Action […]

Script Tip…      Now we understand the concept of color and the drop down menus. Now let’s build the table so we can act upon it. Here’s the Effect Here’s the Code It’s long, get it all.      The code for the table is written to the page through JavaScript document.write commands. It looks like this: […]
