Solve : naking A DEFCON javascript?

Answer»

hi im having problems making a defcon indicator and i was wondering if any one can help make it

what i need it to do is display a defcon level (DEFCON 1 - DEFCON 5) and then next to it an alliance name

i need it to have a log-on feature so you can change the defcon status and allianceBumpbumpI will lock this topic if you don't STOP bumping. Wait at least two days before bumping.sorry just nobody is replyingIt's not like the topic is being shoved to the second page of the forum with new posts.

Anyway, let me see.
Describe your problem a bit more. Have you got any code?i dont know much about java script but this is what ive got (i used a jaca script live clock and edited it (alot of it was LICK the scripting language lua so it didnt take me long and this is what ive got))

very messy i know  but this is all i need now how can i change the daysofweek and alliance variable without opening the FTP server so basicly doing it form an external source
i know its very messy concidering i edited it wioth no knoledge of it what so ever lol
anyway can some one help please?would i be able to make a txt file and type like DEFCON 5 in it and the script take the text from that document ind save it as a variable?TBH, I'd say you'd be better off going to a webmaster-only forum to solve an issue such as this. It will have more helpers, some of which might have dealt with this "DEFCON" before.I didn't post because I haven't got a bloody clue what he's trying to do.

I thought I almost understood what he wanted, until he posted the live clock code.Same here actually, exactly the same.
