Javascript

Hi:
I am learning web design, and selected the Web2010 editor because I really like the html property sheet. This is an especially useful feature for beginners since it presents all of the properties related to the selected element. Is there any plan to incorporate something like this for Javascript? Is this even possible? How about a graphical DOM presentation. Perhaps I might find this useful as a beginner, but maybe it's not that useful for advanced users.

Learning web design takes practice and a willingness often to sit in-front of one's PC for hours.

1. One of the better ways to learn web design is to look when you visit web sites that you like and view their source code and see how the author did things
a certain way and then try to understand by how things and why they were done.
2. It is useless to purchase books at a bookstore when you have all of the material that you will ever need on the internet. In other words, use a technique that
is often referred to as "Googlization" You just need to ask the right question(s)
(a) for html - one of the better sites is http://www.w3schools.com/
(b) for JavaScript - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/
(c) standards - http://www.w3.org/
3. In essence three things have to be learned
(a) html - how to write code
(b) CSS - how to present the code
(c) JavaScript - how to assist the code in presentation
4. writing code is relatively easy and the old axiom of 1 to 3 holds very true that is to say, if it takes one week to write a web site then it will take three to
debug, optimize and condense the code
5. use pen and paper to conceptually write down your idea on paper with everything that you want to see on the screen that is to say; font type(size etc.), color
to used,etc., etc., etc.,
6. three essential things must remain in the forefront namely, ease of navigation, consistency throughout the whole of the web site, user interactivity
7. get to know the ins and outs of the top five major browsers their differences and quirks
8. ask questions on items that you see and don't understand how a certain thing was done or performed that peeks your interest

The above are just some of my thoughts and I am sure some readers may agree or disagree with them AND may even have additional points to add.

I recently purchased WeBuilder after seeing its benefits having used prior to this simply notepad or notepad++ to code my web sites and IMHO it is the better
tool for developing web sites.

Of course, it goes without saying practice, practice practice.
