[TCML] Javatc to Version 11.6

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Javatc has a new function added. The new function is for saving your 
design inputs in a JavaScript file to your hard drive which can then be 
reloaded using the "Load Demo Coil" button at the top of the form.

Adam contacted me looking for a way to do this so that he didn't have to 
keep typing in all the data fields. There is of course is a way to do 
this but it was very cumbersome (the loading script file data had to be 
edited).

JavaScript is "client" side code. In other words, once it's loaded from 
a server (classictesla.com), it is totally in your computers memory. 
Everything you do is done by your computer. JavaScript cannot access 
your hard drive to save files or anything like that (this is part of the 
limitation of JavaScript and for good reason regarding security). But 
it's good as you can run Javatc on your pc without the need of a server. 
I can't open a Save File dialog for you, but there is a way to get 
around this.

At the bottom of Javatc there is a text area. I've added a second button 
"Make Load File" which writes your current design inputs in a JavaScript 
format. If you copy and paste this file in a text editor like Notepad 
and save it as JTC_load.js inside the "/script" folder of Javatc on your 
hard drive, your design will be the data that loads when you click the 
"Load Demo Coil" button at the top of the form. Down by the "Make Load 
File" button there is a little help question mark box which will open up 
a help window for details on how to do this.

After you save the file as "JTC_load.js" you will need to refresh your 
browser and reload the page (all scripts are loaded during the initial 
page loading event). Then just click the "Load Demo Coil" button and 
your data will be loaded.

Although the web version will have the same functionality of saving the 
file (via your text editor), you can't load it unless your running the 
pc version from your hard drive (server side files are on the server and 
you can't write to the server).

Anyway, this makes it possible to save several designs and reload them 
simply by renaming the load file you desire to "JTC_load.js". Depending 
on how you use Javatc, this may or may not be of value, but for some it 
might come in handy.

Javatc is now at version 11.6 due to this addition.
