Webmaster Q&A

I’m new to this whole thing, I need to know for journalism class please!

How does HTML, CSS, Python, Dreamweaver, InDesign, PHP…. what do these things have to do with websites?

I have a menu on my website that is composed of JavaScript. What is the best program or method to make this as small of a file as possible?
I want it as small a file as possible but still displayed online, i.e I want a fully functioning menu that doesn’t make my webpage have a ridiculously large filesize.

I have a function that I send a javascript array to like so:

if (VAR_clicked == "one") {
    FUN_Table(VAR_array_one);
} else if (VAR_clicked == "two") {
    FUN_Table(VAR_array_two);
} else if (VAR_clicked =="etc") {
    FUN_Table(VAR_array_etc);
}

My problem now is I have many more arrays and want to do something like this:

FUN_Table("VAR_array_" + VAR_clicked);

I’m trying to use a string to pass a variable to the function, this does not work.
Any ideas as to how I can do this?

Can you tell me how to enable javascript? All of a sudden, AIM chat says I must enable javascript to enter chat.

Do you know how to make a picture change when you click it, and then change back when you click it again? Preferably without Javascript if possible.

Is it possible to declare a global variable inside a javascript function?

I want to change the available list in the <select> drop-down menu using a pre-defined array in javascript.

How Can I Use Javascript To Check If The Value Of A Text Box Has Been Deleted?

Is there a code I can paste on my website that will create a Javascript command to close the window?

Is it possible to use a variable within a regular expression declaration? For example:

var findThs="test123";
var mystring = "This is some test123 text";
var result = myString.match(/findthis(?:,| |$)/);

This doesnt return a result since findthis is being interpreted as text rather than a variable. I want its contents to be inserted into the regex expression.
