That's due to Javascript's... "forgiving" error handling. As in, when there's an error, it has a tendency to happily and silently fail. It's rather maddening. Under some circumstance it will deign to tell you, but I don't what they are. Even wrapping the section in a

Code: [Select]

try{
// code
}catch(e){alert(e);}

isn't working today.

However, the error seems to be that flowerType isn't defined in that displayRequest function. I think you mean to use "flower" instead. And you should define "flower" using
document.FlowerForm.flower.value;
instead of
document.FlowerForm.flowerPicked.value;

Did as you told me, and this is what it looks like still.

(some days, I wish this had the error reports that python gave me)

You renamed the radio buttons to flowerRadio, which is more readable so good, but then you need to update that name in:
var flower = document.FlowerForm.flower.value;
to
var flower = document.FlowerForm.flowerRadio.value;

Sorry for the derail, best to take this to the coding thread yeah. I'll start checking there.

Aaaagggh. I'm sure there was more stuff I needed to do using an actual computer, but I can't remember what.

Parents.
I was gonna type a long rant, but it basically boils down to this:
Can you please stop acting like little children, complaining about everything? Have the tiniest shred of patience? Stop calling someone an egoist for not doing what you want, when you want, because you want? Stop contradicting yourselves?

The preferred solution is calling them a "meanie" or a "stupid-head". That'll be more effective. And if it's not effective enough, blow raspberries at them for not following your demands.

Bloody Channel Seven.
I've been watching far more TV lately, and they have a lot of the best shows... but also the worst ads.

Probably the worst offenders are the ads for some special "news" show about that hostage situation in Sydney a month or two ago. They're doing their best to both cash in on the incident and inspire panic in the populace.

snip

textarea text is between the tags, not in the "value" field. Go test setting "hello world" as the default textarea text. It only works when this is between the open and close tokens. So you'd need to at least set the innerHTML for the textarea, value won't work. You're assignment is also causing a crash (failed on a breakpoint after the assignment), let me narrow that down.

Ragey day yesterday. Too much work, and I had to spend all day seeing my ex, who for some reason spent all day sitting in a direct line of sight so I had to look at her everytime I left the back kitchen or dish room. Most of the time, she was staring in my direction, so it might hyave been intentional. Bitch.

... do you even count as a dependent, Ak? Aren't you feeding yourself, paying rent, etc.? If she's not actually providing for at least a certain portion of your living expenses*, you kinda' don't count.

If that's the case, I ought to declare them dependants.

It does look kinda badass, but having copious amounts of ice in one's beard is not a pleasant experience.

The keypad for my garage, the only way for me to get into my house, broke today.
I don't have a phone or key (now rectified).
I was standing outside for 3 1/2 hours waiting for someone to come home to let me in.

I wanted a nice, calming day.

RRRAAAAAGGGEEEEEE!

Why do you enter the house through the garage?

All the doors are locked, barring the one from the garage into the house. I had the key to the front door, but then my parents gave that to my sister, so I just use the garage. Unless the keypad is not working.

Setting the value field does work to change the textarea text, though. The problem was they weren't getting referring to flowerRadio as flower when trying to fetch the value... Of course, you fixed that too so yeah.

Rage, rage... Nothing really rage worthy. That's probably why I've been watching debate videos on youtube, trying to get engaged in issues again.
