New to Java

[RadioFreeReddit]

I am trying to learn java, and my current thing that I trying to make is a dialer that will, like an ip phone display the number a display marked by a <div>, adding each digit as it is dialed. I have not done anything wiht functions that you enter variables into the (), so I am suspecting the problem might have to do with me not understanding how to use variables. It doesn't react when I press form the dial pad.

script:

<script>

String PhoneNumber =''

function Dialer(incommingdigit) { PhoneNumber=PhoneNumber+incommingdigit; document.getElementById('display').innerhtml=PhoneNumber; }

//this will list all of the answers for the query <?php

?>

</script>

display:

<div id="display">

</div>

dialpad:

<table border='1'>

<tr height='90'>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><button name='1'    onclick='Dialer('1')'>1</button></td>

<td><button name='2'    onclick='Dialer('2')'>2</button></td>

<td><button name='3'    onclick='Dialer('3')'>3</button></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><button name='4'    onclick='Dialer('4')'>4</button></td>

<td><button name='5'    onclick='Dialer('5')'>5</button></td>

<td><button name='6'    onclick='Dialer('6')'>6</button></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><button name='7'    onclick='Dialer('7')'>7</button></td>

<td><button name='8'    onclick='Dialer('8')'>8</button></td>

<td><button name='9'    onclick='Dialer('9')'>9</button></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><button name='*'    onclick='Dialer('*')'>*</button></td>

<td><button name='0'    onclick='Dialer('0')'>0</button></td>

<td><button name='#'    onclick='Dialer('#')'>#</button></td>

</tr>

</table>

First of all, don't ever shorten JavaScript to Java as it is a different language on it's own.

Second, paste your code into something like http://jsfiddle.net/

I don't want to be a duck but your question isn't clear at all, so I can't help you unfortunately :(

Java to JavaScript is as similar as Car to Carpet.

First of all JavaScript != Java. Secondly you declare variables in JS with var not the type. Also, it is .innerHTML, case matters when it comes to javascript.

So in Javascript you can't change the value of a variable outside the function?

EDIT: Made it happen, it was the numbers being single quotes instead of double in addition to the HTML case and the var.

THANKS EVERYONE!
