h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Your page wouldn't load *^_^*...I assume a smaller # makes it change quicker, or am I wrong?

I went back to a 20-odd wekk old thread...I remember the last time I saw it on my homepage, it had "latest reply xxxhrs ago", and I went to it but couldn't find it.
Last week I went back, turns out the guy had posted in my second-last post, so I missed it. Which was a shame as I'm sure the thread had some potential to it. Oh well

I posted back, btw

That's odd... Maybe it was because you tried to load it at the same time I was updating it? I haven't had any problems. But yes, seems the # controls the speed of the color changes.

I think my browser was just being a lesbian

So, what's the score? Does a higher # mean the colours change quicker?

Mike, just try it and see. or do you want me to make up a less colors version and post it?

I think I'll experiment with the colours tonight then. Thanks

Do tell if you discover anything new. I still haven't gotten around to looking for hex codes.

Tell me if you like this better:




<!--
function initArray() {
for (var i = 0; i < initArray.arguments.length; i++) {
this[i] = initArray.arguments[i];
}
this.length = initArray.arguments.length;
}

// you may fill this colors array with your colors.
// the script will rotate the links through these colors
var colors = new initArray(
"#ffffff",
"#ffffdf",
"#ffffbf",
"#ffff9f",
"#ffff7f",
"#ffdf7f",
"#ffbf7f",
"#ff9f7f",
"#ff7f7f",
"#ff7f9f",
"#ff7fbf",
"#ff7fdf",
"#ff7fff",
"#ff9fff",
"#ffbfff",
"#ffdfff",
"#ffefff");

pause_time = .3; // in seconds

link = 0; // starting color index (in colors array) for unvisited links
vlink = 4; // starting color index (in colors array) for visited links

function linkDance() {
link = (link+1)%colors.length;
vlink = (vlink+1)%colors.length;
//alert("link "+link+"\r\nvlink "+vlink+"\r\nvlinkColor "+document.vlinkColor);
document.linkColor = colors[link];
document.vlinkColor = colors[vlink];
setTimeout("linkDance();",pause_time*1000);
}
linkDance();
// -->

I shall experiment...

Thanks

Likewise, but I don't have much time, so it may not be tonight. Bloody exams

Yeah, me too. But I've basicly finished reviewing, so all that's left is to take the actual tests. Ick. But soon I will have free time. I'll still have to go to work, but after several months of two jobs and school, only one job will be almost like doing nothiung. (I quit job #2)

You guys have exams now? Ick. I had three big test today, but no exams. I usually don't worry about them and just take them and see what I get. Unless I actually don't know it. Hmm, shall I try an find you all a hexcodes site?

Oh please do.

I found some. Have a look at my page now.

Purdy colours!

I got SATS...these are dead important! Like, they decide how well I can do in my GCSEs apparently *^_^*

Will sort out codes on the weekend...I wouldn't mind some different colours, PG. Can you get something less, er, 'camp' for my homepage please *^_^*

If you change your colors, remember to find the lines in the script that tell it which color to start on, and which color to start visited links on, and update them accordingly. It took me like two hours to figure that out. If you don't do it, the script won't work.

Oh sweet mother of christ...suddenly I don't mind my homepage looking so mince!

Oh, it's easy.
Just look for the lines with hex codes in that aren't part of the color array. Then if you don't have those colors anymore, put the new ones in in their place. The two hours was me figuring it out. It only took me about two minutes to fix it.

Uh, right...well, maybe I'll figure it out. Maybe not. Who figures?

Wow, I've been gone for a while...

Mike, I'd assume your SATs are different from the American ones, which are college admissions tests. Some peopel, me included, take them early for whatever reason, but if you had to take them...........argh. My brain's gone to hell and its only 10:30.

I heard that American SATs are two (more if you want) exams that you take on one day. Is that true?

I have my last SATS exam today. Tomorrow is the last day of internal school exams too. Yay!
