Crazy Eights game - Javascript

Jimnbigd

Here's a Crazy Eights game. This was fun to write. So far it only works in
IE. I'm working on a Netscape version. I haven't installed other browers
(yet). I'm open to comments and suggestions. I'm sure there are ways to
improve it. Note that I do not use cache for the card images. Instead, I
build 52 <img>'s and use hidden/visible and position to move and display
them. This seems to be faster than caching. Here's the URL...

Pretty good!

I'd probably rename the images from, say, "twospades.gif" to "2S.gif".
(And the corners of the cards are little funny.)

I'd layout it out differently and make the buttons the same width via CSS.

I haven't looked at the code behind.

Good luck.

Yeah, I agree. I cheated. I stole these images from someone elses web
page. Oh well, I'm lazy on some things.<lol>.
If you know of a site that has better card images, let me know.

Good idea. I need to get more familiar with CSS. I tend to "brute force"
some things that I know could be done better.
I also want to add cookies to keep a cummulative score, with a user
name input to allow multiple users on the same computer.

I'm an old IBM mainframe assembler programmer. I still do "procedural"
rather than "object oriented" coding -- but I'm trying change. My programs
are always being modified and improved. That's one reason I want
suggestions from this group -- both on the game itself, and in the
Javascript coding. I know my Javascript could be better. (I can see this
code now in a Javascript book chapter called "Don't let this happen to
you" -- <lol>)

would like.

A graphic was still needed for part of the jack, queen, & king. Clever idea
though.
