Java is to Javascript

as Car is to Carpet

I feel like while that's a very handy analogy, it's a little unfair to JavaScript.

Is It Just Me Or Was The Most Annoying Part Of That The Use Of Title-Case?

Not any more. Looks like they changed it.

Yup, now it's different :)

Someone probably emailed them saying "you know those aren't the same, right?"

No I promise it was like that in the wild

Yep. Sloppy job too. Couldn't even find a transparent PNG of the java logo, they just used something with a background... I don't know what bothers me more: the lazy photoshop work or the use of the java logo, or even the decision to include a language logo of any kind on the image.....

The inline JavaScript rustled my jimmies

I dunno... The HTML comment guards (what is this, 2001?), commented out code, inconsistent use of single and double quotes, type="javascript", use of tables (WITH INLINE CSS AND HARDCODED WIDTH!) and the method of generating HTML from within JS kinda pissed me off more.

Oh, and the <script> tag is right outside the </body> close tag.

Basically, fuck that code. That really gives the course a very bad impression in many ways.

In addition to what you said:

  • Global variables (page) used everywhere (in the function and in inline JS)

  • Global variables

  • Not using the strict equality comparator

  • Inline JS events (onclick)

  • Multiple JS statements in inline event handler (onclick)

  • 160 lines of HTML followed by Crockford knows how many of JavaScript

  • Anchor with href="#", not even returning false from onclick event

  • Variable width font in what is obviously a professional IDE (it has code folding)

  • Lines at least 100 characters wide (I counted 50 up until around the middle of the last line)

  • Variables declared and assigned long before where they're used (j)

  • Spaces after ( and before ) (if statement)

  • The '1' is a bit of a smell, too (why would you need the unit integer as a string?)

  • Hard-coded paths to images

  • document.getElementById used twice instead of defining a shorthand

  • Referencing the same element with document.getElementById twice, instead of assigning it to a variable

  • Referencing what looks like elements with dynamic ids using hard-coded values (bigImage0 and bigImage1)

  • Using style.display instead of CSS classes

  • <tr> inside table without <tbody>

We're going to need an old priest and a young priest here.

Seems legit.
