Recently, I experimented with changing check boxes with JavaScript. If the user clicked on the words next to the check box, then the box would be checked, once checked if the user clicked again, then the box would be unchecked. I wound up having to apply the same code to the check box itself in order to get it to work. In addition, I added code that would change the background image of the page to either a solid color, if checked, or back to the original image, if unchecked. It did not work. So after changing it some more and still getting no results (I think I even asked here), I did some research and found another way to link images directly in JavaScript. I should make note that all the code was in an external file at the time. The following is the structure of the site:
-container (the name of the containing folder for all files) |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| --index.html (home page where the code will be used) --scripts (the scripts folder, contains all the scripts) ||||||||||||| ---scripts.js (the scripts file itself) ^^^^^^^^^^ --styles (stylesheets folder located directly within the container folder) |||||||||||||| ---styles.css (contains style declarations) ^^^^^^^^^^ --images (located directly within the container folder) ||||||||||||||||| ---linkedimage.png (the image to be changed in page background) I hope the structure above makes sense. Anyway, while linking the image in the scripts.js file, I found it never switched back, yet the code never showed any problems. When I found the other way to link images directly in JavaScript, I changed the image link code to what would amount to being directly in the HTML file itself: The first is the original way I linked it the second is the new way. - (../images/linkedimage.png); - from above, changed to - (images/linkedimage.png); After the change above, the code worked. I went back to reading about the JavaScript standard, I thought that JavaScript was read like an external CSS file was read, where you would have to use the (../) part to link to the image if it was in a different folder one level above the current folder. (as the first line of code above is.) Is that not how JavaScript works?
