I am taking this oppurtunity to thank all those who could manage to take out
some time from their valuable and hectic schedule and send me their feedback
regarding my tutorial on JavaScript at
http://www.oocities.org/SiliconValley/Park/3091/main.htm and
my Java Applications at
http://www.oocities.org/SiliconValley/Park/3091/javaprograms.htm.
Following are the various invaluable letters received by me via e-mail :

Iam happy to see that the net is still alive and well. I have searched
hundreds of pages trying to find some good solid information on java
scripting. Most of them were just a teaser for a book, and most gave no
good info. I just wanted to thank you for helping me to learn (or at
least trying to learn java scripting.)

I have enjoyed teaching myself JavaScript using your documentation.
It is quite extensive and contains great coding examples.
Your docs have earned a bookmark in my browser!!

Your Javascript tutorial really helped me to get down to working with
the thing. Great layout, examples flowed smoothly. Check out my site in
a few days to see some Javascript in action (http://www.trinibase.com).
BTW, do you know of any parsers off hand for e-mail. Also, is there
software that encrypts your HTML so others cannot steal your files and
possibly data on the file?
take care,
brian lewis

You asked for input about your JavaScript home-page...
..wonderful!
Some "postscripts":
I am a Geocities user as well. Do people complain to you that they can't get into
your page when they want to?
It's often "busy"... :(
Went to your page after seeing a link for it in www.gamelan.com
(it's a sign your home-page is now "important"!) :)
I really liked that part when you say how frustrating can the rapid development of
technology be. I did realize that some time ago, after buying an expensive and thick
book about Windows 3.1 programming, reading a couple of pages and then realizing it
wasalready "out", as Windows 95 was almost being released.
A Pascal teacher at that time told me that computing was different from all the other
stuff: it isn't that important to know a little bit of everything but if you are
really familiar with something, you're going to have success, even if you are, say
a DOS programmer (hmm...)... :)
Today, in the middle of all this Internet hype, this problem is a hundred times worse...
well, even though I'm taking a look at Java Script, as you might have noticed. :)
Well, thanks for the page,
My best regards,

Hey sorry if i am bothering you, but i was wondering if you could help
me... I am working on a homepage and i can't figure out a problem:
I have 2 frames on my page, menu and main. What i wanted to do was click a
link in the menu frame and have it update the menu and main frame... i was
given many suggestions... but i was hoping your would be good =]. Many are
good but i am not sure how to use them... here are some that were told to
me:
and i have also been told to use the ONLOAD function .. so when the menu
frame reloads it would have an onload function that updates the main
frame...
can you help me? heres the web address:

Vishal Anand,
I have tried your code, but I must be doing something horribly
wrong because all I get on the brouser screen is the code.
Should I add the "script" tags too the code?
or is it something else I should have done.

U have written Great pages - they will now become my standard quick reference for JavaScript.
However - your link color for your home page (link="#008ffc") makes the
links unreadable on a 256 color display - suggest you pick a different
color to give more contrast (I've hit the same problem on pages I've
done from my other computer with 32K colors - looked great until I
checked them on a 256 color display.
Now, as standard procedure, after I do a set of pages I reset my display
to 256 colors and recheck them - its worth the bit of time to be sure
everyone can read them. (The problem happens to a lot of people - I am
running NT 4.0 at work on a 17" monitor - problem is that to run the
resolution I want - 1024 x 768 - I have to settle for 256 colors as
there is no driver available yet for my video card that will give me the
higher number of colors at this resolution)

Sounds good to me. Tried to sign your guestbook but as usual Lpage is

appears to be just what the doctor ordered. I found your page searching
for javascript code. I have seen applications and wish to incorporate a
few into my homepage. Keep up the good work.

As a teacher currently teaching VB and lately, VBScript, I turned to the

It was great to get all the information in one place, and too in
such a fine way.

I was going to test your program "Message Pop Up" but I can not unpack

You should use .lha instead.

Hello,
wow, I just saw your JS site, and feel it's very comprehensive and good
for me to START learning JS.
however, would you mind compress all those html and examples into one
.tar file or .zip file for me to download? (or mail to me), so that poor
me do not have to spend too much $ to read them all on-line.... I
appreciate if you could help me out.....please please mail me your
collection of js... I promised I will keep those html files
confidential, ha ha .... and lastly, your homepage is professional.
best regards,
joseph

Here's my problem : I found this very fine URL :
http://www.oocities.org/SiliconValley/Park/3091/main.htm about
javascript ( I guess you know about this URL, don't you ) but my line
is so slow I browse a page about a day ( OK OK I AM exagerating.. ).
Is there somewhere, or could it be somewhere, the tar and zipped file of
the hierarchy of files ?? That'd be nice to get the whole documentation
in a one single shot.
Thanx for any help,
A+, JCO.
The feedback is a never ending list..................,
I shall be updating it regularly.
Thanx alot,
Regards,
Vishal Anand
