ok, not a java demo, but a javascript one. Sorry but there weren't any javascript platforms :-).

I hope that you'll like it :-)

oh-ow...

There must be a reason why Javascript is not an available platform on pouet. Possibly because it is extremely slow, totally non-standard (every browser runs it in its own unique way) and it's the worst scripting language ever created. I could go as far as to say that visual basic is wonderful compared to javascript :-) Javascript imho should only be used for one thing: Checking values in forms, and that for optimization purposes. The server should check posted data no matter what :-)

Regarding the actual product, you have your usual coder colors (that's a real shame coming from my fingertips), the usual incompatibilities between browsers (yeah, I know Opera has no good css support and I love it this way), at first glance the code could use alot of optimizations (loops) and generally it does nothing earth-shattering.

On the other hand, it's open source (g) and it's only a couple of kilobytes, so it wont hurt you :-)

I won't rate this thing. The only comment i am going to make is that this "demo" belongs to the Optimus set of demos where the text is always larger than the code in kb.

well said ;)

yea, how about making something interesting next time in a real coding language? :D

then you also already have this:

@moT: well there is a standard and it's called JavaScript 1.5. Why? Because -as far as i know- JavaScript has been created by Netscape, so Netscape is the one who tells what's the standard and what not, at least until W3C decides to standarize it. Fortunatelly the most common browsers (IE, Mozilla) have support for JS1.5 (i'm not THAT sure about IE, but Mozilla has for sure :)).

Anyway i think that since this language exists isn't bad to make some more interesting things than just checking forms (where in my web pages i prefer to use server side checking than JavaScript, since there is the possibility for someone to have scripting turned off).

@robotriot: i will, but i don't think that JS isn't a real coding language :)

personally i love JavaScript mostly for one thing: you can add animation, better interaction, etc to a page without using some shitty stuff like Flash...

Well... hmm... that's all :)

hmmm reminds me optimus demos where I usually stop the demo after the 3rd or 4th page... but nice attempt!

Yeah, we rule, ya dont!!!
