I Java been trying to get two JavaScripts connected on the same HTML page to talk to each other without success. Just trying to pass a varialbe from one script to the other and each script resides in its own separate disk file.

Any clues?

JavaScript. JavaScript is the human-readable code which gets executed at run-time. Java is the P-code, then there are Java Applets.

Code will be up by the end of the weekend. Things are so much faster if all you do is send a kernel of data and let it dynamically build the webpage on the client side after it gets there.

Actually, even simpler... Write two methods, anything, say pass the number 5 from one to the other and have the receptor display it. Save each method in its own js file and call them from an HTML webpage. When I get that working, anything and everything else will work.

End of weekend is here and I haven't had much of a chance to fire-up the PC this weekend -- baseball games, music concerts, and taxi driving -- except in fleeting intervals. I'll write something up and post it ASAP.

One of the problems with the Java side of the world is the language difference between Microsoft and Sun.

Allen,
Question?
Which do prefer if any at all:
1.) Java (M$ version)
2.) Visual Basic
3.) none of the above

Well Chuck,

For such a general question I can provide only a general response, and the answer depends upon the application. My true answer is that I prefer any language I am chartered to work in at the time, including lesser-known ones such as APL or ATLAS, or a hybrid mixture, even.

1st, Are you considering web applications?

2nd, Large Scale/Small Scale?

3rd, Database has to be a consideration.

4th, When you say “Java” do you mean Java Script, Applets, or an ap.?

5th, VB scripts are the thing to know in order to for Active Server Pages. VB is a helluva nice tool for RAD front ends and writing Active-X Controls, but lacks in the performance/power department.

6th, Java is a true OO language, and in some ways, because of it, it is both a developer’s hell and a developer’s heaven.

The thing I like about the MS version of Java, or J++, is the IDE, which is the same as the Visual C++ IDE, my tool of choice. If you know C++ AND are familiar with the MS IDE, then learning J++ is a cakewalk.

If you are a UNIX man, ahem, than you may prefer Sun's Java.

Allen,
Belive it or not you answered the question!
I was thinking strictly web based appz. interacting with databases. SQL 7/Oracle being the poison Both Large and small scale. ASP seems to be the way people are going, but i'm seeing more and more PHP3.
I'm thinking VisualBasic for local applications i.e. forms and access database work. By forms I mean you fill in page #1 of a form and it populates the remaining pages where needed. Or is that workable?
Cheers,
Chuck

I have not done any web-based applications in VB. I do all my database work using MFC unless I write my own database. Also, lately I have been doing all my web-based stuff in C++.

In terms of the web, I write C++ applications that write HTML webpages, and was considering writing a C++ program that will write a Java program that will then generate webpages on the client side automatically when someone requests the link; just another layer of abstraction.
