    read only checkbox

    Or, you could do it that way, it would be easier [wink] ! Paul Ellis [hammer] I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember, number your cards!)

    still have layer problems

    It seems to me that you're going to need to cookie whatever value you want, then set a global variable to the cookied value or if the cookie doesn't exist, set it to the default value. Set the cookie to expire in one hour (or some other similarily short time value), so you don't run into the a...

    read only checkbox

    OK, we've got two things going on here. DISABLED for the checkbox. This is just for the user to see (apparently). INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN. This is for your coding purposes. Now, whatever code sets the checked property of the checkbox (either CHECKED or not) should then set the value of the hidden...

    page exit confirmation

    LastModified date of another file

    The Hard Way Put the last modified info in divs with unique IDs for each page you want to list on your homepage. Then load these pages in hidden frames on your homepage. Now, you'll have access to the last modified information for all those pages ... and your homepage could take forever to...

    Refocus on child window

    Let's say your popup window is a global popwin = window.open(blahblahblah). First you'll need a function: function refocus(){ if(popupwin){ if(!popupwin.closed&&popwin.document.readyState){ do{ }while(popupwin.document.readyState<>'loaded')...

    still have layer problems

    Does showOrHide() also hide the visible layers and/or reset the z-indexes? Paul Ellis [hammer] I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember, number your cards!)

    How to have popup pull &lt;href&gt; from different parent files?

    Actually leave.html is ideally suited for just that! I skipped that part when I gave you the above code. Now, here it is in all it's cross platform glory (IE5+ and NS4+). Be VERY careful if you decide to edit the red parts. <html> <head> <title>You are leaving our site!</title>...

    How to have popup pull &lt;href&gt; from different parent files?

    OK, you've got some options. Here's the way I would approach this, bearing in mind that I'm big on easy code maintainability: popup.js include file: function popup(url){ window.open(&quot;leave.html?url=&quot;+escape(url), &quot;popwin&quot;, &quot;location=no,width=350,height=300&quot;); }...

    How to have popup pull &lt;href&gt; from different parent files?

    Hmmmm. I'm not sure I follow, because the first thing that comes to my mind is to just cram the extras into the query string: [tt] ?url1=blah&url2=blahblah&url3=blahblahblah [/tt} ? Paul Ellis [hammer] I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember...

    How to have popup pull &lt;href&gt; from different parent files?

    Pack it in the query string. F'rinstance: index.html would build the link: document.write('<a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;popup.html?url='+ escape('http://outsidelink')+&quot;>'); popup.htm would parse the url and build the link: <head> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>...

    Newbie: Basic help on a syntax

    Try window.location='http://www.twinhelix.com'; instead, and see how that works for you. Paul Ellis [hammer] I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember, number your cards!)

    close after 5 seconds with visible countdown

    Sorry so late on this one, but here's a cross-browser solution that should work in IE, NS4.x & NS6+: <html> <head> <title>Countdown Test</title> <script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;> <!-- var countdownFrom=5; // number of seconds var countdownwin; var stp...

    Bug with object Date

    Why is it that the simplest solutions are always the last considered? Does this effect happen when you &quot;spring forward&quot;, too? Paul Ellis [hammer] I've been programming since you had to punch holes in cards to code. (Always remember, number your cards!)
