I am extremely new to this stuff, so be kind. Why wont this work?


Code: 
<script type="text/javascript">
function newPage()
if (form.jiggy2.checked)
{alert("yay")}
</script>

<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="jiggy1" value="who cares 1?" />1<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="jiggy2" value="who cares 2?" />2<br />
<input type="button" name="button" value="Click Me" onClick="newPage()">
</form>
 
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function newPage(){
	if([COLOR="Red"]document.form1.jiggy2.checked[/COLOR]){
		alert("yay");
	}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form [COLOR="Red"]name="form1"[/COLOR] method="post" action="#">
	<input type="checkbox" name="jiggy1" value="who cares 1?" />1<br />
	<input type="checkbox" [COLOR="Red"]name="jiggy2"[/COLOR] value="who cares 2?" />2<br />
	<input type="button" name="button" value="Click Me" onClick="newPage()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
 
It's working for me in both IE 7 / 8 and FF.

Are you sure you copied it correctly? Form name is correct? Field name is correct? No syntax errors?

If you use Firefox, open your page, hit ctrl+shift+j, hit clear, then refresh your page.

Does an error show up?
 
It turns out i missed something.

Now this isnt working:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function newPage(){
      var a=form1.jiggy2.value
      document.write(a);
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="#">
	<input type="text" name="jiggy2" />
	<input type="button" name="button" value="Click Me" onClick="newPage()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
 
You missed a }.

Code: 
function newPage(){
      var a=form1.jiggy2.value
      document.write(a);

thanks, now i have just 2 more questions lol.

1. How do you replace the text or add text or whatever to a div, body, whatever.

2.How does this website add posts?
 
1.
Code: 
window.document.getElementById("DIV ID").innerHTML = a;

2. It uses PHP and stores posts in a database.
 
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function newPage(){
      var a = [COLOR="Red"]document.[/COLOR]form1.jiggy2.value[COLOR="Red"];[/COLOR] <!-- The ';' is not required, but is good coding practice -->
      document.write(a);
[COLOR="Red"]}[/COLOR]
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="#">
	<input type="text" name="jiggy2" />
	<input type="button" name="button" value="Click Me" onClick="newPage()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

A combination of a MySQL database to store the information and PHP to retrieve and process that information.

    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
