So I have been trying to make a Javascript alphabetizer and here is what i have so far:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>JavaScript Aphabetizer 2013 Science Fair</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
2013 Science Fair JavaScript Alphabetizer
<FORM>
<TEXTAREA name="inputText" rows=5 cols=80 wrap=on></TEXTAREA>

<TEXTAREA name="outputText" rows=5 cols=80 wrap=on readonly></TEXTAREA>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I just dont understand where to put .split(), Array, .sort(), and .join(). I have read all of background information and all of chapter one at http://www.webteacher.com/javascript/index.html and I still dont get where to put them. In the form i know but in what order??
Plz help it's due on 3/5/13

Hi:

I think this link might help: http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors ... ort4.shtml

Let us know if this helps.

(Here's some code that might work):

<script type="text/javascript">
function sortvalues(param){
var inputvalues=document.sorter.inputText.value.split(" ")
inputvalues.sort()
document.sorter.inputText.value=''
for (i=0;i<inputvalues.length-1;i++)
document.sorter.inputText.value=document.sorter.inputText.value+inputvalues+" "
document.sorter.inputText.value+=inputvalues[inputvalues.length-1]
}
</script>

<FORM name="sorter">
<TEXTAREA name="inputText" rows=5 cols=80 wrap=on></TEXTAREA><br>
<input type="button" value="Sort alphabetically" onClick="sortvalues(0)">
</FORM>

I keep getting a message that I need to enable Javascript. Javascript is enabled. I have checked everything I possibly can. I have turned off my firewall and anti virus and still no luck. I have reinstalled the IE and nothing. Any help would be great.
