I admire people who can code, because I wish i could do it. I love games. I want to make games. I can't code. Or draw. Or do maths.

I wrote this as a sort of step 0 for these kinds of javascript pieces of poop.
You can read 300 lines of code, you can make a game.
The missile command clone is built on this real basic stuff:

Hit "view source" and just relax and read it casually. It will click after a short while and then you will have your mental tsunamis.

I just looked at your code. I think the problem here is that I'm quite thick.

It isn't you.
Everything made sense until HTML. Then legions of retards took over. The majority of web development these days is fixing bugs. Most people get 5 nosebleeds before making their 1st web page. When faced with viewing html source most people prefer sticking needles through their eyelids using lemon juice as a lubricant. After a while questions like "my dick goes where" lose meaning and you just do it so it works.
Then you have bugs and scramble like someone dying in quicksand for arcane advice.
In this case posting to b3ta was such a line.

FWIW it took me over a year to understand how to do this:

I kind of love 3w schools for the same reason I hate them. They are brief, and they expect you to get it real fast.
Still, you won't find my oddball quadtree program on 3schools, but the wealth of knowledge is without compare. Bookmark them now.

I could cry in joy for the rest of my life if I wasn't so dysfunctional, but I make my living in front of a computer. How cool is that?

If your interested start here...

It'll get you all the basics and hopefully drive you enought o learn more. I'm currently working through the python. I'm a PHP dev but want to learn python for making shit games. Most languages have the same basic logic, but the syntax is different is all!
