Click on the yellow warning icon in your browser, and you get a listing of various JavaScript errors in your code. It is simple, and for many people it is enough, but it’s not really the type of fully-fledged debugging environment with features programmers have come to expect in other development languages. If you find yourself doing a lot of JavaScript programming or tweaking and you are concerned with cross-browser support for your scripts, then Venkman is worth checking out. http://tc.eserver.org/20185.html http://tc.eserver.org/20185.html This paper introduces neophytes to Java. It starts with Java’'s beginnings as a programming language for interactive cable TV boxes and continues through the features of optimization, platform-independence, and object-orientation that make it unique. Next, it dispels the myths surrounding Java, presents solid guidelines for when and when not to use Java, and finally examines today’s practical uses of Java, including enhancing Web pages, managing a business, and delivering sophisticated training modules capable of advanced interactions. http://tc.eserver.org/20183.html http://tc.eserver.org/20183.html Java and JavaScript are two of the newest 'kids on the block' when it comes to the latest developments for the computing and Internet world. Already, many are predicting that within a very few years Java will be the programming language of choice. Already, JavaScripts are nearly ubiquitous on the World Wide Web, largely because of their cross-platform nature and ease of use. And already, many technical communicators are beginning to consider what impact these new tools will have on their careers. While relatively few technical communicators will deal directly with JavaScripts and even fewer with Java programming, those involved in Web page development and online (HTML) documentation will find them valuable to learn and use. http://tc.eserver.org/13638.html http://tc.eserver.org/13638.html I like Opera--the browser, not the musical spectacle. I like that it puts small demands on your hardware. I like that it displays Web pages quickly and accurately. I like that it has always been close to the standards suggested by the W3C, especially for CSS styles. It is always worthwhile to preview pages in Opera. Opera is a little weak in event handling, and it has been slow to adopt the document object model. But in terms of page presentation, Opera shows a Web page the way it oughta look. It displays a great looking page, and it loads fast. And everybody likes the little guy. The troubles I have with Opera, as a code writer, are all derived from a single bad habit of the browser. Opera is a little loose with the truth.
