zipped folder

Hello,

I downloaded a folder to my hard drive. It is a zipped folder. I guess
I have to do something (unzip?) on it, because its behavior is not
normal. For instance, it cannot be opened on NotePad, for me to see
the code in plain text. Many files don't open, either. What do I need
to do? Thanks for teaching.

What OS? XP can extract the files. I like the freeware IZArc utility. If
this doesn't solve your problem you would probably benefit from posting
to a group for your OS.

1. Where did you get this "folder?"
2. How do you know it is a zipped folder?
3. What is its URL?
4. Why did you download it?
5. What code are you expecting to see?
6. What files don't open?

The more information you supply, the fewer questions the rest of us have
to ask on the way to finding a solution.

BtS, the answers to your questions don't matter:
1) The entire thread is waaay off-topic here
2) The OP has a history in this group of ignoring useful responses to
his many basic questions

Yes, I've noticed that. I even wrote a complete sample page recently for
him showing how to 'not use frames'. No response to that one.

Perhaps I shall pass by Mr Pen's posts from now on. Let him buy a book.

But ... but ... splutter... you only asked six? Out of an almost
infinite amount, what's a miserable six?

Thanks. My OS is XP. Do I need to download IZarc? Thanks again.

I downloaded the folder from: www.javascriptworld.com to hard drive.

After downloading, I right clicked the folder, and go to properties at
the bottom of the list of 'File'. It says the folder was a compressed
(zipped) folder. And, there is a vertical bar on the left half of the
folder. So I know it is not an ordinary folder. I plan to learn
Javascript.

The folder is for Javascript Eighth Edition, a tutorial book.

When opening a file, nothing displays on the screen. No file works.

Thanks a lot for help.

Have you tried right-clicking on the file to see what options are available?
Perhaps "unzip" is one of them, but if not, you may need to download another
program to perform the operation.

I believe someone else already offered a solution before you did. I
got that one, and did not read the thread further. Thank you anyway.

I don't see the question is off-topic. If anyone feels that way and is
unhappy, just ignore the questions. I ask questions to offend nobody.
I believe there are people who like to help others.

As with many things in life answers to questions are not restricted to one.

Compressed archives, their formats, and tools to compress and extract
have nothing to do with HTML. the NG is alt.html.

Maybe

<http://www.google.com/search?q=what is a zip file>

may be a better direction for inquiry?

If by the above URL you mean that you clicked the "Download the Scripts"
from the menu, then the file:

JavaScript8eScripts.zip [1.31 MB]

has the book in HTML format in 17 folders chap01-chap17. If this is not
what you got then I might suggest that your download was corrupted.

That's not true. The only other response was from Jukka, who only gave
you answers about deprecation with HTML5.

UPDATE:

If you where expecting the "complete book" you will be disappointed. The
files looks like they are just the example scripts from the book. IF you
wanted the book you were supposed to click the link

http://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN/0321772970?tag=chalcedonyconsul

and pony-up the $22.

So why are you asking in an HTML group?
When opening a file, nothing displays on the screen. No file works.

Ask in a JavaScript group, or in a Windows group if you can't figure out
how to use your OS.

I don't see the question is off-topic.

Nothing in it relates in any way to HTML. It is therefore off-topic in
an HTML group.
If anyone feels that way and is
unhappy, just ignore the questions. I ask questions to offend nobody.

The problem is that *you* ignore the *answers*. So why should anybody
bother providing answers?
I believe there are people who like to help others.

And I believe there are people who don't want to be helped, but instead
want all the answers to be simply given to them, with no effort needed
on their part. You appear to be one of them.

I want to thank all for your responses and help. A solution is
found.. XP has an Extraction Wizard. It turns zipped folders to
normal ones. Thanks again.

I've already purchased the paper book, and am following the
instruction on it to download the code, but like to try the paperless
book. Thanks for the information.
