Hello!
I have done heaps of reasearch and experimenting and still no luck. How on earth do I create 'new' function instances in JavaScript? |

Instead of creating a new function for every glowing cell on my webpage, I want to just have one function in my javascript file that can be used as a template to make any color parameter glow on my webpage.
For example:
JavaScript
var TimerCellColor=0x6c;
var CopyrightCellColor=0x6c;
var t;
var t2;
function TimerMouseOver(state,internalCall)
{
if (internalCall == 'no')
ExternalCallState = state;
if (ExternalCallState == 'over'){
if (TimerCellColor < 0xff)
TimerCellColor+=10;}
else{
if (TimerCellColor > 0x6c)
TimerCellColor-=10;}
if (TimerCellColor < 256)
document.getElementById('TimerCell').style.backgroundColor="#"+TimerCellColor.toString(16)+"C0EE";
clearTimeout(t);
t=setTimeout("TimerMouseOver(ExternalCallState,'yes')",1);
}
function CopyrightMouseOver(state,internalCall)
{
if (internalCall == 'no')
ExternalCallState2 = state;
if (ExternalCallState2 == 'over'){
if (CopyrightCellColor < 0xff)
CopyrightCellColor+=10;}
else{
if (CopyrightCellColor > 0x6c)
CopyrightCellColor-=10;}
if (CopyrightCellColor < 256)
document.getElementById('CopyrightCell').style.backgroundColor="#"+CopyrightCellColor.toString(16)+"C0EE";
clearTimeout(t2);
t2=setTimeout("CopyrightMouseOver(ExternalCallState2,'yes')",1);
}
HTML CODE
<table width="100%" height="37" border="1">
<tr>
<td width="247" height="31" align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" scope="col" id="CopyrightCell" onmouseover="CopyrightMouseOver('over','no')" onmouseout="CopyrightMouseOver('out','no')">© 2009 Cyberdyne Systems <br />
(<a href="../webmaster.html" title="Cyberdyne Systems: Webmaster" id="webmaster_link">Webmaster</a>)
</th>
<td width="854" scope="col">
</th>
<td width="293" align="center" nowrap="nowrap" id="TimerCell" scope="col" onmouseover="TimerMouseOver('over','no')" onmouseout="TimerMouseOver('out','no')">Time spent on page:
<label id=TimeDisplay>Try firefox?</label>
</th>
</tr>
</table>
The two functions in the JavaScript handle the glowing background of a table cell. The table cells are defined in the HTML code of id="TimerCell" and id=CopyrightCell. Just to re-state, I want to be able to have only one function in my javascript and create 'new' instances (like in C language) so that I can easily set many color parameters of my HTML code to glow on my webpage.
I hope I made myself clear enough. 
P.S.

You could try something like this:
function CellMouseOver(cellname,state,internalCall)
{
if (internalCall == 'no')
ExternalCallState2 = state;
if (ExternalCallState2 == 'over'){
if (tCellColor < 0xff)
CellColor+=10;}
else{
if (CellColor > 0x6c)
CellColor-=10;}
if (CellColor < 256)
document.getElementById(cellname).style.backgroundColor="#"+CellColor.toString(16)+"C0EE";
clearTimeout(t2);
t2=setTimeout("CellMouseOver(cellname,ExternalCallState2,'yes')",1);
}
Passing the cell name to the subroutine. Because the routine will only be called once at a time (cursor can't be in two places at once), you shouldn't need to use call "new" on the routine. I'm not sure I caught all occurrences of the cell name, there may also be some other changes to be made but hopefully that will give you a start. |

| Not sure I like the "Cyberdyne Systems" text flashing at me all the time though. Apart from that it's looking great :) |

Yeah, I don't like that much either. I'm going to 'design' my heading and have it slightly animated but not like it currently is. Something that is more easier and pleasant for the eyes. I'll probably use photoshop, solidworks or illustrator to design the heading. I think the color scheme works, and it suits a technical website.
Thanks for your input buddy. |

What about now?

I still haven't designed my own heading but it looks good they way it is for now. Maybe the header background is to vibrant? |

| Yes, that's rather pleasing. Although I don't enjoy things glowing at me either while I'm trying to read things. Can't you just leave the background colour of the title static? |

| Yes I no what you mean. I'll keep the heading the way it is until I can design a better looking one. Maybe a smooth, extruded metallic surface with a periodic glinting light sweeping across it. A little bit of animattion in the header shouldn't cause too much visual interferance since the stuff that people will be reading will be below the header. |

I have made a few more improvements. The heading is still not changed.

| Looks good. For some reason my CPU useage jumps to 75% as long as the page is open, though. |
