Allowing simplified browsing of websites with a predictable URL structure

The code below has been a pet project of mine for some time. It allows simplified browsing of websites that have a predictable URL structure, namely TGP websites.

It has been greatly modified from it's original version to be effective on Android, and there is probably alot of room to improve on it. I'm not asking anyone to do my work for me, though.

```



window.onload = function() {
if(location.href.lastIndexOf('?')>0)(splitURL(location.href.substring(location.href.lastIndexOf('?')+1)))
BROWSEbar.style.display='none';
EDITbar.style.display='block';
};

window.onscroll = function() {
document.getElementById('fixdiv').style.top =
(window.pageYOffset) + 'px';
};

function splitURL(newURL)
{
EDITbar.fullURL.value=newURL;
EDITbar.splitURL.click();
EDITbar.goURL.click();
}

function combine(a,b,c,d,e,f,g){return a+b+c+d+e+f+g;}
function highlight(field) {field.focus();field.select();}

function minusone(a)
{
b = a.length;
a = Number(a);
a = ((a > 1) ? a - 1 : a);
a = String(a);
while(a.length

Filter-Kilter Browser

#fixdiv {filter: alpha(opacity=86); -moz-opacity: .86; background-color:#EEE;}

html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 100%; overflow:hidden;}
p, h1 {top-margin: 0; padding: 0;}
.button
{
color: #900;
border: 1px solid #900;
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.browse
{
color: #862;
border: 2px solid #806020;
font-size: 240%;
font-weight: 900;
}
iframe
{
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;
border: none;
}
table,th,td
{
border-collapse : collapse;
padding:0;
}
th
{
background-color:green;
color:white;
}

input.groovybutton
{
font-size:46px;
font-family:Comic Sans MS,sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
color:#ffffff;
width:990px;
height120px;
background-color:#800;
border-style:s

I will ignore the android specific parts. And i will fix/ignore the missing semicolons & unnecessary brackets

Ok .. here it goes.

-
it's 2012, please use HTML5 doctype.

-
english is not the only language on planet, you should be using UTF-8 for ages already

-
if possible, avoid meeing with style object. Each time you modify it, browser executed reflow stage

BROWSEbar.style.display='none'; 
EDITbar.style.display='block';

this is just madness

function minusone(a) {
   b = a.length;
   a = Number(a);
   a = ((a > 1) ? a - 1 : a);
   a = String(a);
   while (a.length < b) {
      a = "0" + a;
   }
   return a;
}

function plusone(a) {
   b = a.length;
   a = Number(a);
   a++;
   a = String(a);
   while (a.length < b) {
      a = "0" + a;
   }
   return a;
}

you should learn how to use arrays in javascript

switch (j) {
   case 1:
      EDITbar.url2.value = EDITbar.url2.value + newURL.charAt(i);
      if (testI == false){
         j++;
      }
      break;
   case 2:
      EDITbar.url3.value = EDITbar.url3.value + newURL.charAt(i);
      if(testI == true){
         j++;
      }
      break;
   case 3:
      EDITbar.url4.value = EDITbar.url4.value + newURL.charAt(i);
      if(testI == false){
        j++;
      }
      break;
   case 4:
      EDITbar.url5.value = EDITbar.url5.value + newURL.charAt(i);
      if(testI == true){
         j++;
      }
      break;
   case 5:
      EDITbar.url6.value = EDITbar.url6.value + newURL.charAt(i);
      if(newURL.charAt(i+1) == "."){
         j++;
      }
      break;
   case 6:
      EDITbar.url7.value = EDITbar.url7.value + newURL.charAt(i);
      break;
  }

firefox and IE are not the only browsers

#fixdiv {
    filter: alpha(opacity=86); 
    -moz-opacity: .86; 
    background-color:#EEE;
  }

-
this is just nasty

font-family:Comic Sans MS,sans-serif;

-
you should not be using iframes just to create layout. Go and learn what XHR is.

-
please , stop using inline css

-
this tag is considered outdate , you have css for it

-
do not attach javascrit events in HTML tags

-
line breaks are not for layout

Essentially , it looks like your HTML/JS/CSS skills are at least 10 yours out of date.
