You have already seen an example of my work by viewing this web page! I created all of the pages contained in this web site without using a WYSIWYG type editor, but rather with a simple text editor (windows notepad) and knowledge of HTML and Javascript coding. To view my code for this page (or any web page you visit for that matter), simply click on the VIEW menu at the top of your browser and then click on SOURCE or PAGE SOURCE.






To view an example of a Javascript program script on my site, use the view source option on the CONTACT ME page. This page needs embedded programming code to validate the entries on the form and demonstrates the intermingling of program and HTML code.











Here is a Java code snippet from a simple retail price calculator program I created, followed by a screen shot of the program's execution:

/**
CalcButtonListener is an action listener class for the calculate button.
*/
private class CalcButtonListener implements ActionListener
{
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
	{
		double cost, markup;	// These variables will hold the amounts entered in the text fields
		double result;		// A variable to hold the calculated result
			
		// Get amounts entered in the text fields, convert them from strings to numeric (double) amounts
		cost = Double.parseDouble(costTextField.getText());  
		markup = Double.parseDouble(markupTextField.getText());
			
		result = (cost * (markup / 100)) + cost;
			
		// Display a pop-up window with the result
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The retail price of that item is $" + result + ".");
			
	}
}


// The embedded main method to demonstrate the retail calculator class instance window
public static void main(String[] args)
{
	RetailCalculator rc = new RetailCalculator();
}
}
