Same with me unfortunately. I actually completely forgot to create the author (and in doing so, shifting the alignment blame ) of the gradient. The great Lea Verou created it.

$('#bar1').width('5%');

Function $(id) { return document.getElementById(id); }

$('bar1').style.width = '5%'

That's just inline CSS anyways. It's just setting it via JavaScript. If the percentage was set server-side, setting it via inline CSS is fine. why use JS for that?

If he's making a game, probably want to use AJAX and thus JS to update.

I've never worked with an app that didn't have jQuery in it. It would be just as easy to do that in basic JS too.

hint: it's even easier to just write that single inline css expression

Wow thanks for the replies everyone. Sorry that it too me so long to reply. My laptop power cable broke and I wasn't able to get on WdR.

Thank you for all of the code examples; They were basically what I was looking for.

I am planning on using AJAX and JS for my fan made Pokemon Game. Right now I am working on the battle code which is proving to be the most arduous part of the whole game.

Since I have never really used javascript, I am hard at work learning it so that I can make the battles have real time updates and effects rather than using server side PHP alone.

The Battle System will take a lot of work, but this was a good first step towards completing it.

Before you put any huge effort in it: don't code the actual game logic in JavaScript, as players will be able to cheat (they can see the JS code and write variables via the Console...)... Always make sure your business logic is synchronized with the server, I'd very well UPDATE the screen in real time via javascript, but calculate the game mechanics in PHP (or whatever - SERVER SIDE) and just distribute the results to every client.

I have all of the game mechanics programmed in PHP. Currently, I am planning on just using AJAX to call my PHP functions to get damage calculations and other things like that for the battle system.

Anyone know a good place to start with AJAX? RIght now I am reading up on javascript from w3schools.

Checkout backbone.js

in that case, spare yourself some pain and use a good ajax capable framework.

I'll probably end up using an ajax framework but I also need some javascript experience.

After modifying everyone else's code to my liking, this is my 1st draft for a Pokemon Party View.

I was just playing around with numbers to see what the effect of having negative health and more than max health would have on my hp bar function.

Yes correct! I am adding glitches to the game

Did anyone notice the Magikarp named Lugia?

to be honest, Pikachu is the only Pokémon I would recognize by name, and that's quite alright with me

Add

overflow: hidden;

to the parent div to fix that health bug
