Any suggestions would be welcome.

mauken.

try this:

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaS cript"
type="text/javascript">
document.write( "Hello World");
</script>
<noscript>
Hello World
</noscript>
</head>
</html>[/HTML]

Hope it helps, Death

Thanks for your answer. (death)
I tried your example and it printed hello world 1 time. I expected hello world to show 2 times.
I get this message - to help protect your security internet explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. click here for options. I click allow blocked content - from the pop up window. but have no success. I've been unable to find the setting that would allow scripts.

This is probably because it's showing the noscript part.

What version of IE are you using? Have you tried other browsers?

The example I provided is ment to print it only one time (unless you edited it).

If you would like for it to print it twice I would do this:

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<script langauge="JavaS cript"
type="text/javascript">
document.write( "Hello World, Hello World!");
</script>
<noscript>
Hello World, Hello World!
</noscript>
</head>
</html>[/HTML]

Allow me to explain what I did:

Document.write literally writes the text on the document, but you must have JavaScript enabled on your computer. I think your JavaScript is turned off, which is where the noscript comes in.

noscript is for computers with JavaScript turned off, or that can't use JavaScript.

Thanks, Death

Just now noticed you said you don't know how to turn it on (that is if it's off to begin with).

Tools, Internet Options, Security, Internet Zone, Custom Level, Scripting, Active Scripting, Enable.

That's how you do it in IE 6.0, I think it's the same in 7.0 not sure.

Note - Turning JavaScript on is great, but only durring testing/programming. However having it on can harm your computer, so just be sure to turn it back off when your finished. Also turning it off doesn't really make your browser incapable of using JavaScript you simply have to allow the active X control that should show up at the top of the screen.

PS - If you have any more problems scripting wise please try it yourself and then post your code ( I wasn't supossed to just give you the answer like I did (sorry mods) but I was in a hurry and wasn't really thinking).

thanks again (death)
Your second reply should get started with javascript.

JavaScript is safe, it's ActiveX which is dangerous.

A simple test script like that is fine, but you're right about making an attempt first.

I would just like to point out that the language attribute is deprecated, just use the type attribute only.

I know that it's deprecated, but some of the older browsers need it, and I wasn't sure how far back he was going.

Thanks, Death

Sorry that's what I ment to say I was at school when I type it so I was in a hurry.

Np it's what I'm here for, but just make sure to read over acoders post, he knows alot more about JavaScript ( and probably every other langauge ), than I do, he gives great advice too.

Thanks, Death

Even for older browsers, you can probably safely omit the language attribute going by this link:

In the absence of the LANGUAGE attribute, browsers that do not support the TYPE attribute typically assume that the language is the highest version of JavaScript supported by the browser. Thus authors may safely omit the deprecated LANGUAGE attribute when using JavaScript.

Thanks, but I don't use it any ways I was just going by something I read in a book about certain older browsers need the langauge attribute present......gu ess not.

Thanks, Death
