 |
|
Hi there!
I have put this code into a html document and tried to view it through apache and all i get it a blank screen!
I have the Jave development kit installed on the server, but i might have doen something wrong!!!
Or do i have to actiate something in apache?
So any suggestions would be very helpful!
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
var width = screen.width
var hieght = screen.height
document.write("<B>You're set to "+width+ "x" +height+"</B>")
</SCRIPT> |

javascript is client side, nothing is needed at the server end.
PS: javascript NEQ java!
Luckly for you I know what is wrong 
| Code: |
<script type="text/javascript">
var sW = screen.width;
var sH = screen.height;
document.write("Your resolution is <B>" + sW + "x" + sH + "</B>");
</script> |
Never use language="javascript" use type="text/javascript" instead.
the variables height and width aren't allowed. use something else (sW and sH) |

JavaScript wont work on my workstation by default. I use FF and have the NoScript plugin. So I must manually per site either permanently or temporarily authorize JS for each domain.
This is a pain but it is so much more secure!
So while I am in the minority, those sites the depend on JS for the little extra's, may suffer if the client does not accept the JS. Just a little note about JS. That is exactly why all my projects that require user form submition get both client side and server side validation  |

Why i use type="text/javascript"?
Simple, there are money revisions of javascript, if you use the language attribute you can specifie the version aswel, some browser will ignor it so i use type="text/javascript" most browser support the latest version. |
