How to get started with writing some Java script?
I have a knowledge of basic HTML and how it works. I can use dreamweaver to make webpages with HTML.
I am not useless and i think i can figure out what i want to do if pointed in the right direction, but not sure what direction that would be...
I want to make a form - like on this website http://www.barrieraviation.com.au/sfb, but simpler.
Am i right that i need to use java?
how do i get started with java? What program do you use to create it? any good tutorials you can point me to?
Thanks
basically that 1st page allows you to choose a time slot and has a limited number of spots (3 in that case).
after you click on it, there is a form, and if someone makes a booking (submits a form) the 1st page is updated.

and there is flight listings then a booking form if this is what you want there is a variety of ways to do this in a lot of languages
you could set a up a emaill specifically for booking info then wright your page in html and have it sent you all the posted info in an formatted email
or you could use php and mysql to store and call all this info from a database

You are wrong. Java is not used at all. Java is not the same as Javascript so don't confuse them. Javascript is used for fancy effects and in the case of this form it is used to generate the booking form according to the booking time that you click. It is also badly written as it doesn't work with Firefox so there is a quarter of your customers locked out already.
What this system uses to handle the form is ASP. You can not handle forms unless you have a server side CGI such as ASP, PHP, Perl etc. You could use Java for server side scripting via servlets but finding hosting is rare and more expensive. You will need to learn a cgi so I recommend PHP.
To learn Javascript there isn't a good development system. I use Notepad++ to do the editing and Firefox with the Web Developer plug-in to do the testing and debugging.

If you want the way my school's curriculum does it, learn C. (Although simple, it is unnecessary when you're more interested with programming languages in today's business standards) My computer teacher told me to learn Java since it's a practical and an 'easy' language. I am currently learning C in high school while I read stuffs C++ when I feel like it. I recommend C++ or Java if you aren't having a hard time understanding it. C, on the other hand, is surely easy to understand. Best way to learn a language is by buying a book about it. (Or getting an ebook) After reading three books about "Beginner's Guide to C", I don't even bother listening to the computer teacher's lectures.
