Hi

I would like to create some javasript pages with dreamweaver but I do not have any idea where to start?

I believe to create javascript pages with dreamweaver you have to type in the code all yourself??

Anyway any suggestios are welcome!
Thanks!

First, do you have any JS (JavaScript) knowledge already, or you looking to learn JS from the begining?

No knowledge at all,..nada,nilch! I'd like to learn from the very beggining,

At the moment I am using Dreamweaver to build my simple web pages,.. and would like to learn some java script.

Is it posible to use it together with dreamweaver?

Hi Raul,

What exactly are you trying to build for your site? Java Script is very good for form validation and for client-side interactivity but there are other languages that will allow you to interact with the user as well.

Can you give a couple of examples of what you want to to so we can best advise you.

Well lets see,... To start I'd only like to do a test,....And the test I have in mind is,....

I'd like to have a drop down menu with numbers in letters. For example 1 to 5 so I would have a drop down menu something like:

One
Two
Three
Four
Five

Then I would like the user to be able to insert a value in a field box. This time I'd like in numbers,.. lets say for instance,.. 10.

Then I would like to multiply the number selected by the dropdown menu by the number inserted in the field. I'm thinking to show the output something like this: ( Let's say from the drop down menu the user chooses four.)

I'd like the outpur to show sth like:

4
x 10
----------------------------------
result: 40

Thats what I have in mind.
I think I can do this type of thing with javascript. Is this true?

You can indeed do this sort of thing with Javascript, you can also achieve this using VBScript....

Unfortunately I am not a JS programmer but I can certainly help you if you decided to use VBScript instead.....

Let me know

Yes, like Vince stated, both JS (JavaScript) and <i>Server-Side</i> languages like ASP (VBScript), PHP, CFML, JSP, etc. But for client-side, and rapid development, we think JavaScript would work just fine. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

One additional point,

VBScript can be used client-side in the same way as Javascript so for those of us familiar with the syntax of ASP it can be a real godsend.....

Hi Paul

In addition to the comments from Chris and Vince and just for clarity.

VbScript can be used at the client but only for IE.
JavaScript can also be used as server-side script, most of the time I see as JScript, MS's version of JavaScript.

Just post the code you've got so far and a full description of errors and what isn't working right for you.

I'd recommend getting some books on JavaScript, I personally found the Wrox Press books very good, give this a try:
