That is a very good idea MJM.

Another option would be to run NoScript Add On in Firefox, and just block the offensive script whilst you remove it.

That's who CJ uses if you are looking for paid hosting.

I would just setup your site using wordpress or something, no need to design anything and it will look and function much better.

tried already to disable java and i just tried them add ons in firefox still no look and no email back too maybe a page delete is in order...dam
serves me write really..o well you live and learn

java =/= javascript

[serverguy]

What does =/= mean?

Javascript is just a type of Java that runs in browsers.

[MJM]

=/= means not equal.


JavaScript and Java are in no way whatsoever related.
They aren't even similar languages! JS is not a type of Java.

[serverguy]

I agree maybe my first post was a bit confusing, but actually Java and JavaScript are very similar languages.

They both basically follow the C syntax, and lots of the names used in Java are used in JavaScript as well.

And Sun still had a lot to do with the creation of JavaScript, hence where its name came from (Sun basically said to Netscape that they could call it JavaScript if they would build the JRE into Netscape.)

I seem to remember reading somewhere that JS was actually written to make Java more appealing to non programming people.

But yes, JS is not a spin off of Java.

Key elements from the wiki article:

"Not to be confused with Java (programming language)."

"JavaScript, despite the name, is essentially unrelated to the Java programming language, although both have the common C syntax, and JavaScript copies many Java names and naming conventions."

"There is not a particularly close genealogical relationship between Java and JavaScript; their similarities are mostly in basic syntax because both are ultimately derived from C. Their semantics are quite different and their object models are unrelated and largely incompatible."

"The standardization effort for JavaScript also needed to avoid trademark issues"

Sorry serverguy, you are just wrong.

The reason Netscape chose the name Javascript was to deliberately try to cash in on the interest in Java and to fool people. When it first came out Netscape called it LiveScript but very few people paid any attention to it, being proprietary code locked in to one browser. So to make it seem sexier, they changed the name and stirred up interest. And have successfully fooled / confused beginners every since.

Java is a stand-alone programming language which, like a huge number of other programming languages, has a syntax very similar to that of c. Java is objected orientated, meaning you can create classes and objects from these classes for the program to use. When Java is compiled, it is not complied into an executable file but into an intermediate form called bytecode. This has the advantage that it can then be used on any operating system that has a Java Runtime Machine. With c you would have to develope and compile the code separately for each OS, as c makes low level calls to the OS and file system and thus parts of each compiled program are OS specific. With Java they call it write once use many, with c it's write many times. The standalone Java program then runs like most other executables, can access the hard disk, and file system and any other hardware if necessary. It can access databases, drivers, whatever you want.

Javascript does not create classes, nor does it create objects, nor is it compiled, nor is it standalone, not can it access the hard drive or any other hardware, nor can it access databases or drivers or whatever else you'd want. Javascript can only run within the browser, and operates purely on the DOM. Each browser manufacturer has to include their own javascript engine in their browser (hence the reason some scripts go wrong in some browsers) But it has the letters J and A and V and A in its name, that's all.

Java was developed by Sun, LiveScript was developed by Netscape and renamed by Netscape. MS produced JScript - "the same but different", but as stated above attempts have been made to standardise Javascript and JScript via a thing called ECMAScript to which they are both related.

Anyone who has written Java programs and Javascripts will know that they are completely different things. It's a bit like saying to me "Ah you can teach people to fly gliders, so obviously you can teach me to fly a helicopter" - sorry, the only thing they have in common is the letters F and L and Y . Ditto drive a car and drive a train or drive a bargain.

Having a syntax similar to c does not make two languages related, it just means you have an easier time learning a new language.

Anyway, did you disable Javascript in your browser?

PS there is no way a non-programmer could write Java !

i did disable java and still same problem i have now delete the page and made a new one so all is good and i dident get any help from the free website makers ! thanks everyone for trying to help!
