Argh, I still can't get it work. I have it saved in a .html file, am I doing everything right? I try to open it in Internet Explorer 7, which then blocks the content and shows me a page of garbage, then asks if I want to allow the blocked content, I say yes, refresh the page, but it's still garbage :)I am positive it is just something incredibly STOOOPID and I am just too inexperienced programming-wise to figure it out right now

The clock code from the example above won't work for me either. Here is what I do: I copy-pasted it into Wordpad, saved it as "TestClock.html" and then tried to open it in AOL. It just takes me to a page filled with a paragraph of garbage though. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?Thanks,---Egghead---

Bump

Hey all, well I have a really basic webpage on my computer right now that I am working on, adding various things to learn and practice and experiment. Anyhow, I tried adding in some Javascript code and, well, some works and some doesn't. For example, when I add in the first example, the "Hello World!" code, that works fine right now, and the CSS allows the text of it to show (because the page has a colored background).But then when I try to add the code that shows a clock, nothing happens. I added the code in the proper areas, and tried different things, but still, nothing. What am I doing wrong that won't let this more advanced code work? My page has a black background, but I tried changing it to white again just to see if the clock was in fact working, but was being hid, but this wasn't the case either.Any advice is appreciated, thanks,---Egghead---

Hey all, I am working on just an experimental website right now; I learned the basics of html, xhtml, and css, so the site has elements of each; anyways, now I am learning Javscript so I can then learn XML afterwards. But my question is, for the text displayed in Javascript, how do I change the color of it? I have a black background on my website, so the text from the Javascript is not viewable unless I change the background to a different color. The regular text from the html is viewable because I changed its color, first via html, and then via a css, but I can't figure out how to change the text color of the Javascript text. How do I do this?Thanks,---Egghead---

Yep, that must be it, because everything works fine when I do it with AOL; but in IE the pictures refuse to come up.

The site itself can't be it because I tried multiple sites that normally work fine, but when accessed via the link the site would come up but without the pictures. When accessed in the normal way, however, they work fine. I am linking to it from my computer via a webpage on my computer. Basically I put the link in the html code, then I go into Internet Explorer, go under File, click Open, then open up my webpage (which is just a .html Notepad file). The browser brings it up and it looks like a regular webpage, only it isn't being hosted. Well I do this with the computer hooked up to the internet, so that then I click on the link and it goes to the correct website (so I know the address is correct in the code), but the pictures of the site don't show.

One other question; I just used an image to make a link to another website. Well the link worked fine, I clicked on the picture and it went to the website, but the problem is that when I go to the site through the link, none of its pictures show up. If I type the url into the bar and go to the site that way, the pics on the site show up fine, but if I go to it via my link, the site works fine but no pics. Where the pics should be are just blank rectangles with the big red X in the corner. What is causing that?

Ahhh, okay, I got a pic in Now if the file for the code of the webpage is in one file and the picture is in a completely separate file, way off on a separate path, should that work too, provided you give the complete pathname? (that is what I originally tried, but it didn't work, but maybe I was doing something wrong).Thanks,---Egghead---

Hey all; I am a complete newb to Web development, I am just learning html and xhtml and css for the moment, only on my second day of learning. While experimenting with a web page file on my computer, I decided to put in an image. The thing that gets me is, for an image that is stored on the computer itself (since the page file is not on any server), how do I put this into the code? Do I need to put in the entire pathway to the file or something? If I just put the name of the image, then the browser has no idea where in the computer to locate the picture from what I understand; I also don't know quite what type of image these images are in the computer; in the code examples, it is usually a gif, but I don't think any of these images are gif's, maybe they are something else but I am not sure. Any help is appreciated.Thanks,---Egghead---
