<A> n' Java

Riasiru · **Posted:** Mon Nov 28, 2005 9:38 am

OK, this is simple. I want to define a Variable with a <A> link, but I can't find any info or, what I can find, is bundled up in massive coding which makes it hard for me to get.

That's all, just use "Var" for the Variable if you post an example. Thank you.

Bleh.. ummm. I believe you can use a command called "javascript:void(0)" to have it active a javascript script. And in that script have it define the varible.. I don't really know the programin' to it though >.>;;;;

i hate javascript, it always means something wont show on the browser.

I don't think we're talking about Javascript here. Also, if you could explain what you're doing and what exactly you mean, that would help. I am pretty fluent in Java, so with that ifo I can probably help you with you're problem.

just going a incy wincy little bit off topic here.

what is that in your avatar kangaroo? a screaming chibi drawing?

I'll show you some but just enough

Code:

<Head>
<Script>
Var0=0;
</Script>
</Head>
<Body>
<A -insert code here-><img src="img.extension"></A>
<Script>
if (Var1=0){Var0=1};
if (Var1=1){Var0=0};
If (Var0=1){document.write('text')};
</Script>
</Body>

Where -insert code here- is I need to make it so that it will set Var1 to Var0 when you click it. Thing is, I just can't figure out how to do that.

Oh, That's easy, just use a function.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type-"text/javascript">
var0 = 0;
var1 = 1;
function switchy () {
  var1 = var0;
}
</script>
<title>It be a title</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:switchy();"><img src="img.extension"></a>
</body>
</html>

Quite simple actually. ;P

By the way, on a side note, What you're using here is javascript, something entirely different than Java. Where javascript is a browser based scripting language, Java is a full powered programming language. Just thought I'd throw that in. ;D

ahhh, i'm not thought the arts of advanced script writing, brain overload!!!

I will be taking programming next year after I graduate from my current class. If my stay in these forums last that long, I will post what I learn here, should I find any of the material useful.

It's really not advanced at all, in fact any useful script uses functions. They are an essential part of most any programming language, and are often reffered to as methods. Usually in javascript a function is created like this:

Code:

function function-name (function-arguments) {
   //commands to be exectued when the function runs
}

A good example of this would be:

Code:

c = 0;
function add (a, b) {
   c = a + b;
}

This would be called in javascript like so:

Code:

add(1, 3);

and 'c' would now equal 4. Of course, you could replace 1 and 3 with any numbers to be added by the function. In HTML, you would call the function like this:

Code:

<a href="javascript:add(1,3);">Call the function!</a>

Again, you can replace 1 and 3 with any numbers to be added.Hope you found that helpful. ;D

By the way, if anyone notices anything wrong with this feel free to let me know, I haven't worked with javascript in a while.

wow, but you can use it as a weapon against me, since i'm prone to overloading on some cases, my mainframe computer in my head cant take it.

just dont let s.irver know... you know that little competition between us.

yes javascrpit is a evil thing.

i try to avoid it at all times.

Riasiru · **Posted:** Thu Dec 01, 2005 8:41 am

*snickers at s.irver* Well, I've only been working with java for a week so, yeah, I'm not all the knowledgable. I'm rather good with Xhtml though.

Anyway, I'd just like to say thanks for the code and to say...

If we refuse to use new things simply becuase they seem complex we would be just like our grandparents. Afraid to ever advance forward, staying in our quite little room all to ourselfs without a computer, making textiles and what not.

Lesson? It's really quite simple. Get off your lazy rear and figure it out s.irver!!! It's not as hard as it looks!!

Javascript is not evil if you know how to use it. Once you get the hang of doing things with it, it will more than likely make your site much better.
