Tips! My Man… At the same time I’m writing this Script Tip, I’m also editing a JavaScript book. Just so I can keep a timeline straight in my own mind, we’ll use the script I’m currently working on in the book as our new script here. Click Here To Check Out The Script And See […]

Five, Four, Tip… On to the last line of buttons. This one gets a little tricky, so let’s take it by itself. See it in Action Here’s the Code (It’s big. Get it all.) The last line of buttons look like this: Zero, decimal, +|- sign, equals, square root, random, Pi Here are the […]

How do…      It’s time for script number two in our run of Script Tips dealing with passwords. This time around we play with a script by Alex Keene he calls PW33. It was first sent to JavaScript Goodies for pasting back in 1997. It’s a clever script that not only works as a password […]

Script Tip… Okay! It’s the final day of the Guitar Chord Script. The only thing left to do is parse the information from the array and give it to the showChord() function we hit upon last week. For one last time, here’s the script and its effect:      Click a chord on the right and […]

In Script Tip #1 we talked quickly about objects and methods. You remember that objects are things that already exist (according to JavaScript) while methods are things that act upon those objects.      In this tip we’ll quickly discuss the use of those objects in what I call a hierarchy statement. Here’s a very bare-bones image […]

Wrapping it all up…      OK, we’ve got the basics. We know about the layer, we understand the loops, now let’s put it all together in a function. Yes, I know there are two functions, but look again. They are exactly the same function except for one keystroke. The Script’s Effect Here’s the Code      Here’s […]

Big Bird Tip…      Let’s continue moving down the script. We already know that if there has already been a cookie set, then everything we talk about today has already occurred. But what if this is the person’s first time to get the cookie? Then we need to set up code that places it and […]

Howdy…      This week, it’s a re-do of the color script so that it will run in Netscape Navigator. It took a few major changes, but it’s nothing we can’t roll through in one tip. Here’s the Effect Here’s the Code It’s long, get it all.      Alright, let’s just stop and think it through. In […]

Hello, Script Tip Folk… Let’s start looking at a new script. This is a little more involved than the last one, so we should be able to really tear it apart and get a lot out of it. Basically, here’s what this script does: Posts a dialogue box when a person enters the page. The […]

Script Tip life begins at 40…      Okay! We now know how to get a drop-down menu to react using a button to fire up the function. But what if you don’t like the button? Wouldn’t it be better to just let the user choose their selection and off they go… sans button? It looks […]
