weee! Using a tutorial and some transferable Python knowledge I wrote my first function. Fun!
Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
var x = 0;
function myloop() {
for ( var x = 0; x <= 100; x++) {
document.write(x%11);
if (x%11==10) {
document.write("<p></p>");
}
}
}
</script>
<body>
<form><input type="button" onclick="myloop()" value="Mybutton"> </form>
</body>
</html>

so it writes the remainder of a number divided by eleven, and if said remainder is 10, it prints a closed paragraph.
use the DOM luke....

I'll get there eventually. I'm taking my time. I'm also able to do all my coding and testing within eclipse, which I really like. I need to figure out how to emulate my apache server so I don't have to test that code directly on the server. Then I could start writing and testing applications that stream data between the browser and server, which is cool.

run a local copy of apache on your machine.

It might come to that, but I'm a wimp. The eclipse might have an internal plugin that could work with it's "local server" it's been using to test my js & html stuff.
I have not yet googled anything on this, because I'm still becoming friends with Javascript. After I am, I'll start working on blending server-side CGI with browser-side Javascript. At least that's the current plan.
edit:
Again, I'm going to learn Javascript before I push to blending it with Python. But here's a diagram with what I have in mind:

Yeah, document.write() is icky. Remember, jQuery is your friend.
There are at least two ways in which server-side python and client-side Javascript can interact. One is that python can write Javascript in a metaprogramming sense. Another is that Javascript can query server-side python via AJAX.
