Placing text in the exact location through placement in the script?

XXXconanXXX · Mar 11, 2005

I've been studying HTML, PHP, and Javascript for a little while, learning the terminology and the formats of them, but I recently just started creating a webpage. My question is, does the format of the text and the positions of them in the script determine where they are to the viewer? I obviously know that if you a few lines of text, then put an image below that in the script that the image is going to be below the text. This is what I mean:

Code:

                           <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
                           Image1= new Image(75,50)
                           Image1.src = "Until It Hurts1.gif"
                           Image2 = new Image(75,50)
                           Image2.src = "Until It Hurts2.gif"

                           function SwapOut() {
                           document.imageflip.src = Image2.src; return    true;
                           }

                           function SwapBack() {
                           document.imageflip.src = Image1.src; return true;
                           }
                            </SCRIPT>

Would that be centered, as opposed to this, which would be on the right side?

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
Image1= new Image(75,50)
Image1.src = "Until It Hurts1.gif"
Image2 = new Image(75,50)
Image2.src = "Until It Hurts2.gif"

function SwapOut() {
document.imageflip.src = Image2.src; return    true;
}

function SwapBack() {
document.imageflip.src = Image1.src; return true;
}
</SCRIPT>

What I'm asking is if I centered the script, would it be centered since it's centered in the script or do I need to do it manually? Meh, Sorry I know I could test this out myself but it's acting up with me so I can't test it, and I need to know so I can finish the script using one method or the other.

Cheers,
Conan

no, in HTML, PHP and Javascript most spaces are ignored, pretty much only a single space is registered generally... why do you wanna center a rollover script?
id write it like this...

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
Image1= new Image()
Image1.src = "Until It Hurts1.gif"
Image2 = new Image()
Image2.src = "Until It Hurts2.gif"

function SwapOut() {
document.images.imageflip.src = Image2.src;
}

function SwapBack() {
document.images.imageflip.src = Image1.src;
}
</script>
<body>
<img src="Until It Hurts1.gif" name="imageflip" OnMouseOver="javascript: SwapOut(); " OnMouseOut="javascript: SwapBack(); ">
</body>

Then again... i havn't tested this...

Thanks Ling, that just means that I need to do things a little more manually. Need to clean my thing up anyways since I'm starting XHTML 1.0, which seems to be more strict and more of a pain in the ass than HTML, but it allows for custom functions, which is good

.

I was using that script as an example, I have no need to center the script for a flip image, but it was something I grabbed randomly from my script that wasn't too short but wasn't too long.
