Install This Install That

I'd say it never ceases to amaze me... perhaps it's more of an amusing type of thing. You're on the internet and go to search for a tutorial on this that or the other. A program is required. The tutorial goes through step by step on installing the needed program. Why is this?



I would think that if the program was written well, it would have an installer that was helpful enough to step you through installing the program. The tutorial you're reading wouldn't have all of the steps to install it... shouldn't it just say "First install this program, now that you have it installed, here's how you use it." Type of thing?



Yeah. That's what always gets me. Perhaps I'm just alone in this thinking... who knows.

It can be annoying at best.

Multidimensional Arrays

Ah Multidimensional Arrays. Nothing too crazy in JavaScript. Just a little bit of this and that. So typical arrays are fun and easy. You create them like so: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = "Red"; colors[1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = "Blue"; Well that's fine and dandy, but what if you want to associate something with each of those? For example, what if you wanted to create a menu? You'll need at minimum a link name and a target. We could do something like this: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = new Array(); colors[0][0] = "red.htm"; colors[0][1] = "Red"; colors[1] = new Array(); colors[1][0] = "yellow.htm"; colors[1][1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = new Array(); colors[2][0] = "blue.htm"; colors[2][1] = "Blue"; function createColors() { document.write('<ul id="colors">'); for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) { var link = colors[i][0]; ...
