You know what? I like
You know what? I like programming. I really do. I like figuring out how to do stuff with a syntax once I get an idea of what I want to do. I guess that's why I liked Computer Science in the first place. My current motivation for relearning a bit of JavaScript and DHTML is to update my webpage. I want to be able to blog just by doing what I'm doing now: going to blogger.com and hitting "Post & Publish". But I don't want the entire blog taking up my site. I want the blogs to be there..I want the archive bar to be there, but I want them as a changeable part of the content window of my own page. In other words, changing the blogger template so that it's minimal (blog and archive bar only, no titles or anything) and then using onClick commands on my links so that every link changes the source of the content window/DIV object. Why load another page? That's soooo old school. Problem is, I've yet to figure out how the file object works in JScript. With any luck, it'll allow me to specify a relative path filename (it has to right? Then again, I remember VBScript/ASP not allowing me to do that..) so that I can just read in .txt or .whatev files for my sources. Yeah, it's a technical way around having multiple HTML files but then again, I get greater control over my pages. Oh I'm such a dweeb.
