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

Hey there, you could add my website too if you like. It's not very technically sophisticated though. It uses javascript so that it works OK in both IE and Navigator which require slightly different approaches, and I've written a little program so that I can change the structure of the site without having to individually edit each HTML page (basically an offline "#include" utility for webpages). If anyone's interested you can have a copy of this handy little utility (just email me).

I'm running three sites (links on my userspace), "A Fish Called Bob" is my computer games programming site, "Take Issue!" is a political magazine, "Personal" is my own, very minimalist, website which is basically a set of links to things I've written.

Hm, well, Seeing as only frankie has editing rights to the forum, we'll have to wait for him to get back But I can have a look at these if you'd like

In return could you say what you think of mine? Link from my space, near the bottom, in the external links section I particularly like the Have Fun! Section!

Tell me what you think!

And any good scripts sites (I know, cheating, but I@m still learning jScript / Javascript, so what can i do til i learn it? )

would be appreciated

Thanks

aka, if you want any help with javascript, just let me know

pastey, i want help with javascript! lol

about the if then else statements (which i'm alrady familiar with from the very appopriately named 'BASIC' - believe me, it IS basic!) why is there the extra character? as in:

if (a==b)
{statement(s)
}

actually, Im confused on the syntax and some javascript teaching sites are so misinforming.. they tend to brag about what the writer knows and what you WANT to know but they won't tell you, presuming that you already know it, like it's a born-with gift!

Which extra character do you mean?

The "==" rather than "="?

The "{" and "}" ?

If it's the former, then the "==" is used to test for equality, whereas "=" is used to assign values. This means you can write things like b=(a==c), this means that b==true if a==c or b==false if a!=c.

If it's the latter, then you can think of the "{" as being the "THEN" statement in BASIC, and the "}" as the "ENDIF" statement in BASIC.

great! Thanks that helps!

I couldn't have put it better myself

Hm, I might set up an animated cursors entry on h2g2, seeing as I'm building up quite a collection!

Just added Dogster's websites (sorry I was a bit slow there).

An entry about animated cursors sounds like an interesting idea aka...

and the animated cursors page is up and running, at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A643871
thing is, seeing as I have a cursor maker, when you click on the link, it doesn't take you to a blank page with a preview of the cursor, but actually opens up the cursor editor with the cursor you clicked for opened.

So if you make them yourself, beware they might take a while to load (Because your CEditor will need to open all the time too)
