My First JavaScript

I just found the first bit of JavaScript I ever wrote used on my first website. Let’s set the scene:

• The site was built in Dreamweaver
• It used frames (of course!)
• It had green text on a black background (of course!!)
• It is the absolute definition of cringe (of course!!!!!) ¹
• There were 2 sets of frames, one for 800×600 and 1024×768 resolutions
• JavaScript was wrapped in a <script language="javascript"> tag in those days
• It is not very good, and I clearly didn’t know what I was doing yet

if (screen.width == 1600)
{redirURL='index2.html'}

if (screen.width == 1280)
{redirURL='index2.html'}

if (screen.width == 1152)
{redirURL='index2.html'}

if (screen.width == 1024)
{redirURL='index2.html'}

if (screen.width == 800)
{redirURL='index3.html'}

if (screen.width == 640)
{redirURL='index3.html'}

if (screen.width <= 639)
{redirURL='index3.html'}

redirTime = "1500";
function redirTimer() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime); }
