The following site has some great information to get started with
JavaScript. They provide some great examples and then offer a
way to test different javascripts out there. Click upon one of the
examples you run across.

http://w3schools.com/js/

Hope this helps.

that seems to be a dead link, Jim ... I'm well-acquainted with Javascript
and looking for a quick primer on AJAX; I understand it conceptually and
really need a few good code samples to pick up the formal implementation and
idiom of real-world apps ... thanks

Oh, wow. I tested it out and it worked inside of firefox. I didn't
realize firefox automatically prepended "www." onto it. That's
a bad mark against firefox for doing automatic address-bar
conversions. :-) My apologies... Zif posted the proper link...

Thanks for catching that, Elizabeth.

One thing I'll add in addition to the link above, is that an older
version of the FireFox webbrowser seems to be helpful in
debugging javascript applications. It also provides a great way
to get at least one other browser to test against. There's a few
useful things inside of the FireFox browser, such as a Javascript
console which helps in debugging.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Jim ... and thanks, Zif ...

Some of this information is handy; are references around for JS, DOM, DHTML
in help-file format ? I have some older ones from MS but I'd like to find
something newer and more complete

Nobody seems to want to recommend an AJAX book or books; is that because
there aren't any good ones ?

Why do you expect an entire book about Ajax?
Ajax in it's current state is nothing but uniformed build up over
IXMLHTTPRequest (IE) and XMLHttpRequest (FF etc.) Plus a dozen or bugs
across different browsers to take into account, plus a dozen of tricks.
Enough for a good online article or a printed chapter. But what do you
suppose to write a *book* about?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
