[Thevb2101]

@JavaScriptTeacher .. DUDE! I didnt understand a thing when tryin to learn via w3schools , Coz of you i knw JS :D .. Thanks Bro btw how do you type so fast? +_+' .. did you speed up the vid or are you super pro?

[KOTSlOS]

prompt is just like Inputbox from VB

I like how every programming language copies each other hehe

[YoursTruelyChannel]

tried 90 times...mine wont work. I copied your EXACT words and saved it as a .htm.

any tips???

[larzakajugganot]

@YoursTruelyChannel

u mean html

[inuasha880]

@larzakajugganot actually you can save it as html or htm according to W3C it is your choice I usually do html but I guess lazy people could use htm

[OxBadgers24xO]

@YoursTruelyChannel Don't save as a .htm but then still have file types as .txt. Change to all programs. Maybe that's it.

great tutorials.

[prakash2187]

you made me your fan...i would like to interact with you...Thanks JAVA Script Teacher

[aimeeaaa2]

Hey,

Awesome Video...

I now this sounds realllly nooby... but the thing is kinda not working for me.

var vistor_name = prompt ("What is your name?");

alert ("Welcome, ' + vistor_name + '!');

Could someone please tell me what part of the code is wrong.. thanks.

Sorry for the nobbyness :P

[bartjoboy]

@aimeeaaa2 You are using two different quotation types in your alert function. :P This is how it is supposed to be: alert("welcome, " + visitor_name + "!");

[guy872]

is there a way to store the data for you to look at later on. Say you want to know what time it is for every time a visitor is on your site and you ask them the time but is there a way to save that information to gather statistics?

[zeificaiOn]

you type faster than i read, i had to pause every 10 seconds

[12eebok]

I hate JavaScript... it's such a pain in the ass, at first looking at the syntax I thought "Oh! This is going to be easy, it's exactly like Java!"--boy was I wrong..

[SirwanMe]

why cant you just speak ffs ....

[slipnot25]

hey thanks so much. what program arre you using.

[sijmenjan]

You made another typo: it is "Spongebob", not "SpongeBob"!

[psp0amaan]

Damn you and your tricks in the end. Doing the one in the first one was easy, the second one, can't figure it out, this one, let's see.

[fugazi0311]

Very good. It can be hard to find easy to understand JavaScript tutorials on the Web.

[0TyMoss0]

This is so cool. Thanks for doing this dude.

[Naujdavid]

What happened to the classical music.???

put it back please, it really helps

[MMileseliMM]

nice tuts but if you dont mind me asking what editor did you use

[psychohog]

It looks like the firefox extension "Firebug".

[rkimber1989]

Very Good tutorials, any more on thier way???

[ellehcim88]

I love your tutorials! Can you PLEASE make one on how to make forms?

[umlarmy]

JavaScriptTeacher..please..ple­ase..make next JS tutorial..i'm waiting for ya'..

[ricardobristol]

ok i followed anotehr tutorial on here and got it to work which looks alot diferent from yours,heres 2 lines of it;

item_amount = prompt("how many items did you buy?");

alert("so you bought, " + item_amount);

its shorter but it works

[ricardobristol]

when i try and copy this info down into my javascript editor it keeps saying that i need to anme the var but i have,i use antechinus javascript editor so i cant get var to do anything,its like var isnt a valid comand for it,what javascript editor did you use if you dont mind me asking?

[JavaScriptTeacher]

You answered your own question, mate; I want to get as much as I can into each tutorial, so I don't pause for too long; there is, of course, a pretty little button for absorbent watchers to do just that...

[TheDarthNefarian]

@JavaScriptTeacher Do you really type that fast?! 

[MrRocklover2010]

@JavaScriptTeacher what if you want to create a webpage that has sets of radio buttons and text boxes, one for imperial values and one for the metric values what codes will be use for that?

[MisterSym]

A little fast on some of it. I know the video can be replayed, but you really need to give pause at certain times for the watcher to absorb what he/she's just learned.

[dertyjerzian]

nice tuts, man. Keep them coming, subscribed :)
