I could use some java. i am creating a php script that has some advanced java functionality. I have been struggling through the java part, but I would love to have your help. I would offer you links in return.

[ret_ali]

To ATlien:
I'd really like to help you..but i dont know java yet..what i know is javascript..which is different than java.Sorry about that,but if you ever need any javascript help just lemme know,i'd also learn PHP soon if i get enough time.By the way,are you a girl?(sorry couldnt resist your avator :wink: is that you?
To djromeo:
Well..for the question that what can i do with your website,its hard to answer since there are so many things to do!I'd be able to help better if you tell me exactly what do you want to be done to your website?may be redesigning it?since..its design doesnt seem to good.I can code the design for you..but actually,i SUCK at graphics so i guess you'll have to do the graphics stuff yourself.I'm also going to PM you about it.

I ment Javascript, I think. What is the difference? No that is not me in the avatar, I am a guy. I get asked that alot though.

[ret_ali]

lol..
i dont know how to tell you the difference like that..lol.Why dont you tell me whats that you need to be done?and i'll be able to figure out what you meant.

[ATLien]

just some bold, url, center buttons, where they click the buttons, then the html is added to the text area. I already have alot of it done.

[code:1:07ac64ac01]
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function formatStr (v) {
if (!document.selection) return;
var str = document.selection.createRange().text;
if (!str) {alert ("Please select the text you wish to format.");
return;}
document.selection.createRange().text = '<' + v + '>' + str + '</' + v + '>';
}

function insertLink () {
if (!document.selection) return;
var str = document.selection.createRange().text;
if (!str) {alert ("Please select the text you wish to link.");
return;}
var my_link = prompt('Enter URL:', 'http://');
if (my_link != null)
document.selection.createRange().text = '<a href="' + my_link + '" target="_blank">' + str + '</a>';
}

function centertext () {
if (!document.selection) return;
var str = document.selection.createRange().text;
if (!str) {alert ("Please select the text you wish to center.");
return;}
document.selection.createRange().text = '<div align="center">' + str + '</div>';
}

function insertImg () {
if (!document.selection) return;
var str = prompt('Enter Image Address', 'http://');
if (!str) return;
document.text.createRange() = '<img src="' + str + '" border=0>';
}
//-->
</script>
[/code:1:07ac64ac01]

That is what i have so far.

[ret_ali]

this is javascript..anyway,could you give me the code for the actual HTML file?also..a bit more explanation of what the problem you're having here would help.

[ATLien]

[code:1:10e2edbaed] <script language="javascript">
if (document.selection) {
document.write('<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">');
document.write('<tr>');
document.write('<td width="24"><a href="javascript:centertext()"><img src="/images/center-button.gif" alt="align center" width="24" height="18" border="0"></a></td>');
document.write('<td width="24"><a href="javascript:formatStr(\'b\')"><img src="/images/bold-button.gif" alt="bold" width="24" height="18" border="0"></a></td>');
document.write('<td width="24"><a href="javascript:formatStr(\'i\')"><img src="/images/italic-button.gif" alt="italic" width="24" height="18" border="0"></a></td>');
document.write('<td width="24"><a href="javascript:formatStr(\'u\')"><img src="/images/underline-button.gif" alt="underline" width="24" height="18" border="0"></a></td>');
document.write('<td width="26"><a href="javascript:insertLink()"><img src="/images/url-button.gif" alt="underline" width="26" height="18" border="0"></a></td>');
document.write('<td width="26"><a href="javascript:insertImg()"><img src="/images/url-button.gif" alt="underline" width="26" height="18" border="0"></a></td>');
document.write('<td><div align="right"><a href="http://" target="_blank">Guide To Creating Tutorial</a></td>');
document.write('</tr>');
document.write('</table>');
} else {
document.write('&nbsp;');
}
</script>
<textarea name="text" cols=70 rows=20 wrap="soft"></textarea>[/code:1:10e2edbaed]

That is the html. One of the things I want to add, is the insert link, when their is not text selected, it will popup a prompt asking for text to link, then it will proceed to the enter url link, then it will input html into the textarea. Also, the Image thing doesn't work I want a prompt that ask for the link to the image, then in inputs the answer to that prompt in to the textarea where the curser was.

[ret_ali]

From what I understand..this is what you want the script to do:

1-Check to see if any text in any of your text area boxes is selected.If no..it will ask the user to type in a url in a prompt box.
2-It would write down the url in the text area where the cursor was.
3-It would check to see if any text is selected..if no,it will prompt the user again,this time asking for a link to an image.And then creates an image on the page whose src is the url the user entered,and then put the url that the user gave in the text box where the cursor was.
Is that what you want to do?Please correct me about anything you feel is not right,and I'll write down the script for you which you could then copy and paste into your document (sorry,i just feel its more fun to write my own scripts rather than debug someone elses).
Edit: How do you want to run the script?will it run when the user clicks a button?or when the page loads?or unloads?

JavaScript is client side scripting, something the browser can understand and run, with JAVA you can bild a browser.

[ATLien]

all that was write except the url, if no text is selected, 2 promphts will popup, one asking for target text, the other asking for the actual url then it will input the html with the link text and the url filled in.

Also is the any way the image button can get the height and width of the image, and imput it in the img tag?

[imaginemn]

Java is a programming language invented by a small group at Sun Microsystems and JavaScript is an interpreted scripting language. Java is a compiled, full-bodied programming language. The only thing Java and JavaScript share is the similar name, but they're entirely different tools.

Here is a sample "Hello World" in both languages.

JAVA CODE
[code:1:afc2f6da17]class myfirstjavaprog
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}[/code:1:afc2f6da17]

JAVASCRIPT CODE

[code:1:afc2f6da17]
document.write ("Hello, world!")
[/code:1:afc2f6da17]

bah..i'm confused ...which image are we talkin about here?
is it possible that you pm me with a copy of the HTML document attached?

[ATLien]

I have already sent everything I can, the site has other stuff on it. This is the part that concerns the java. I was asking, the imge java that allows you to post a image, can java go and read the image, then input the height and width of the image in to the html when it puts it int eh textarea.

[sim]

I could use some java. I want a system very similar to the one at fileplanet.com where only a certain # of user's can download a file at once then the rest have to wait in line.

[ret_ali]

Atlien:
OK i think I got it...but are you talking about uploading an image?because if this is the case then I cant help you with that...uploading an image is something beyong the scope of Javascript.However its possible that,they upload the image,and then you put the image somewhere on the page..then i could access its height and width properties.If the image is on another page then i dont know of anyway i could access its properties...if there is anyway then please let me know.Anyway..i'm going to start working on the page today.

Sim:
Sorry..i'm not offering help with Java..its javascript..and currently i dont know of anyway i can use it to control the number of users that are downloading a file.

[ret_ali]

To put the image on the page doesnt mean you have to put it in the same directory the page is or something.you can link to an image off server by putting its url in the image tag.

[ATLien]

No, I am not talking about uploading I am talking about linking to a of site image. Just like the img button used when posting ont his forum. Like when the person put sin the address, the java will go read the image and get the height and width.

[ret_ali]

noo.. i cant think of anyway the script could go and read the image's height and width without putting the script on the page someway..may be you could make a preview sort of box to the left of the text box..where,after the user enters the image text,he would get the image on the page....,You can also use the help of PHP or any other language though..may be they let you get an image's properties.
anyway...do you want me to write the script ignoring the image bit or putting the image on the page and then get its properties?
if anyone else could help us out with this image thing then please do.
