Title says it all, i'm also learning. I thought it would be cool to discuss it with other learners and discuss problems we have encountered and such.

I am! Just starting in. Learning on how to edit the whole web page in front of you using Firefox's HTML. Also learning to edit or create a CSS block into the JavaScript of the page. Still newbie.

I learned how to write html/dhtml & css when I was young. I miss having a desk top and laptop... doing all types of things with (and even to) them lol. I hated using other proggies to write html, always went with a notepad & started fresh with what I knew then did research and plugged in what I wanted as I learned more. It was many work in progress .html files but at the same time, had many fiinshed products too. I just did it all for fun!
Here are some of the sites I recommend to help yall out:
HTML Drive.net (http://www.htmldrive.net)
CSS Drive.com (http://www.cssdrive.com)
Dynamic Drive.com (http://www.dynamicdrive.com)

I member Pascal woooow lol! I even member* Dreamweaver hahahaha... Hated Dreamweaver though. I felt it made everything more complicated considering I was so used to a Notepad & a keyboard LOL.
EDIT: Try Greasemonkey on FireFox too! I used that years ago. Used to let you view live sites and edit them their coding for your own view, among other things. Great add-on.

Wow, I didn't really expect a positive response to Pascal!
I tried Greasemonkey on a small freelance project 3 years back, but yeah I don't remember much now :p.

Here you go
// Define quarter here.
function quarter(number) {
return (number/4);
}
if (quarter(12) % 3 === 0) {
console.log("The statement is true");
} else {
console.log("The statement is false");
}
Good luck and keep practicing :)

console.log("The statement is false");
}

Or you can do
var quarter = function(number); {
//codehere
}
That's how I always define functions but it doesn't really matter how you do it as long as it is correct.

when i was trying to do the others i had to look at the forums for reffrence.
because every time i would do if/else the else would show a red x by the line and i didn't know what i was doing wrong with the else. it happened when making my rock paper scissors game i got this far,
console.log("Ready for a friendly rock, paper, scissors game?")
var player1 = prompt("Choose rock, paper, or scissors. Don't use caps pl0x")
var player2 = prompt("Choose rock, paper, or scissors. Don't use caps pl0x")
var player1wins = console.log("Player 1 wins!")
if(player1 === "rock" && player2 === "scissors") {
} else
i couldnt go further because the else was wrong somehow
Edit: aha i didn't see next lessons were teaching you how to make a rock paper scissors game and have it play with the computer. i was doing this other one for fun at end of last one

Hey guys, I've been working with html on and off since I was 14, I did a little css to make the sites I did prettier. You don't have full freedom to customize on a site like Myspace but I did do Lou Gramm of Foreigner's, code and graphics. xD Back in the day.. (wow, does that make me feel old, lol. Just hit my mid 20s) when I got my first domain I used notepad also and an Ftp host. Dunno if those are relevant anymore with free hosting/unlimited bandwith around. Div overlays were a bit of a pain for me.. I've yet to learn Javascript but I'd really love to. :3 I continue to do graphics for fun and freelancing, somehow I still remember basic code after not putting it to use for quite a few years. I live on the eastcoast so there aren't many opporunities for snagging employment as a Graphic Designer or Web Designer. I made a huge mistake when I first went to college by going for an Associates in Science. I plan to go back to community college for the Information Technology Support Specialist program in the fall.
