...Small typo, but sufficient to mislead an (absolute) beginner:
In the
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/jslibs/htmlhigh/showhidelevels.html
script,
(showhidelevels.js the script's name)
 you refer to
showhide.js (not the script's name)
I'll let you know if I make it to use that, and the more advanced one on
my pages... Will take time. Will? It is taking already!
Keep that site around for long yet, it may turn be the greatest free lunch
you ever treated lots of people, now that you're in making money that
justifies all you time with ...Visual Basic ;-)

Tarquin,
On your page:
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/controls
PASTING
for( myVariable = 1; myVariable <= 5; myVariable++ ) {
    myArray[myVariable] = 1;
}

myArray[1] to myArray[5] are now 1.

Because I put myVariable++, myVariable would increment each time it reached
the end of the 'for' loop. If I had put ++myVariable, myVariable would have
incremented each time it reached the start of the 'for' loop so the overall
result would have been that myArray[2] to myArray[6] would be 1.
PASTED
----------------------------------------------
I tried to test it like this:

for( myVariable = 1; myVariable <= 5; ++myVariable ) {
document.writeln("<p>Value of preincremented myVariable : "+myVariable+" <\/p>");
}

for( myVariable = 1; myVariable <= 5; myVariable++ ) {
document.writeln("<p>Value of postincremented myVariable : "+myVariable+" <\/p>");
}
----------------------------------------------
or like this:
----------------------------------------------
var  myArray = new Array();
for( myVariable = 1; myVariable <= 5; ++myVariable ) {
    myArray[myVariable] = 1;
document.writeln("<p>Values  of preincremented myVariable : "+myVariable+" ,
	 and of myArray[myVariable]: "+myArray[myVariable]+" <\/p>");
}
for( myVariable = 1; myVariable <= 5; myVariable++ ) {
    myArray[myVariable] = 1;
document.writeln("<p>Values  of postincremented myVariable : "+myVariable+" ,
	 and of myArray[myVariable]: "+myArray[myVariable]+" <\/p>");
}
----------------------------------------------
In both cases I got the same result (in all the few different browsers I
tried).

A mistake of yours or am I missing a clue?
In case this would get messed in the mail, I am including the two
corresponding files as attachments.
Anyways, still pondering over lots of useful things you explained on your
site... but I way longer time to get it than more talented people...
Consider that I am 48, and knew nothing about Internet till I was 41...

Tarquin,
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/functions
In this part:
function functionName(varable1,variable2) {
 etc.
varable1 repeates later as such, but not variable2,
instead: varable2

Once all varables become variables, all is fine.

And possibly other varables on that page should be replaced so.
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
And other:
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/controls
"try - catch - finally" fine.
But "throw( myError );" (or is it myEr? -- I couldn't get it even by making
all instances the latter nor the former way)
---------------------------------------------------------------
I put this code inside script tags inside HTML body:
var myEr = new Object();
myEr.name = 'My error';
myEr.message = 'You did something I didn\'t like';
throw( myEr );
document.writeln("<p>Writing any? "+myEr.name + ': ' + myEr.message+" <\/p>");
---------------------------------------------------------------
And I put this code inside script tags in the head:
var myEr = new Object();
myEr.name = 'My error';
myEr.message = 'You did something I didn\'t like';
and put this in the body:
  <p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:throw(myEr);
  document.writeln('<p>Writing any? ' + myEr.name + myEr.message+ ' <\/p>');
  	">Click here!</a></p>
---------------------------------------------------------------
I enclose these two files as attachments. What clue do I possibly miss?
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
I generally can test code in
 on Windows: almost any IE (3-6), Netscapes 4.08/4.8/6/7.? Opera 7.?
 on Linux: Mozilla 1.7b Konqueror 3.2 lynx
(of course this time I dodn't test on lynx ;-)

The following is not my site, but I suggest that you leave the link, only
this one at least, for your readers to find: http://browsers.evolt.org/
My suggestion to the gentle reader is, as far as Internet Explorer versions
are in question, go for the standalone versions!
This is where it started (consider it carefully):
[url]
That way, Taquin, people will be able to more easily test your code on
different browsers.

Thanx!
Miro
