Some of my webpages are interactive. This means that you don't just read the webpage, you type or click on the mouse and the webpage responds to you. These interactive webpages are written in Javascript. This means that the program is physically part of the webpage. Nothing has to be downloaded, or saved, or loaded. You go to the webpage, which only takes a short time to load, read the instructions on that webpage as to how to use it, and start straight away.
May of my pages allow you to make designs online. You might wish to keep what you have designed. Unfortunately, you cannot save the picture you see in the usual way.
The easiest way to preserve the picture is to print the whole webpage (with the Print button, or via File/Print...).
If you wish to save the picture onto your own computer, press the 'Print Scrn' key on the keyboard. This will copy the contents of the current screen to the clipboard. Go into any Paint program (or some word processors) and paste it in. You will find that you have the whole of the screen, but you can cut out your own work and paste it to a new file, which you can save or print.
You might find it useful to be able to save a webpage on your own computer, so you can use it offline (when not connected to the internet). It might work faster, and if you pay for internet connect time, then it will save you money.
Save a webpage by doing the following:Remember this will only save one webpage. You cannot move from one webpage to another via the links.
Unfortunately this method of saving won't work for the following programs. To save these, click on the relevant zip file to download.

My name is Jo Edkins. I am a programmer, and I wish to learn Javascript. I have written many programs for my local school in other computer languages. Adapting these programs as webpages is an enjoyable challenge, and I would be very happy if anyone wishes to use the result. I would be particularly pleased if schools were to find these programs as useful for IT education as I have found in the past. Anyone may use these webpages, and save it on their own computers, and print it, and copy and distribute it round a school or other educational establishment or within a family, for free, without contacting me. I'd love to hear from you, of course (see index page). Anyone who makes money by copying and selling my webpages is breaking copyright law.
