Eric,
You have every right to be confused. There are really 2 different jdemo.ijs
files on my Mac, but I was initially confusing about which one I wanted to
use. Help from others have straightened me out, as much as that is possible
(grin). The Helloworld example in the wiki was hard for me to refind
because it was in the Trash there. But it gave me the clues to creating a
standalone jhs page.
I am studying the fine work of the Tirrells in creating a d3 demo,
especially in learning how to emulate a sort of index.html file <head>
component in order to use existing js libraries and css files. The
Tirrell's code in d3.ijs and d3boxplot.ijs (for example) has given me some
hint about hints about accessing files saved in ~root, but I would like to
access files in a subdirectory of the current project. If you or anyone
else can shed any light on this issue, it would be very much appreciated.
I have been hoping to reproduce something like the following index.html
from Jason Seidelin's "Html5 Games" in hopes that I can adapt some features
there to a version of the turtle graphics for j which uses opengl.
(Apparently modernizr.js makes for better webpages relative to diverse
browsers, and moderniizr.js uses another script named loader.js .)
