Hey,
Sorry for these questions with probably obvious answers, but I don’t have a tutor or coach to guide me through this so I turn to you guys yet again.
I wrote this simple timer-script:
[CODE]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
<head>
<title>Teller</title>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ />
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
var teller=0;
function tellen(){
teller++;
window.status=teller+” seconden”;
var timerID=window.setTimeout(“tellen()”,”1000″);
}
// –>
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<input type=”button” value=”Tel!” onclick=”Tellen()” />
<input type=”button” value=”stop de teller!” onclick=”window.clearTimeout(timerID);” />
</div>
</body>
</html>
It’s valid XHTML 1.0, everything seems logical to me yet nothing will show up in the status bar. Not in IE8 or FF3.5. I adjusted the options in FF3.5 to allow the script to put information in the status bar, but that didn’t help.
I tried looking at references for the window object because I’m learning from an older source(JavaScript 1.5), but didn’t find anything useful (yet)…
Any idea why this doesn’t display the counting in the status bar?
P.S.:Maybe one of you could point me to a site that teaches javascript thourouly and in compliance with the latest standards and technologies/techniques because it seems to me the things I’m learning now could be somewhat outdated.
