Introduction

If you're not already using Javascript on your pages, you will - it's one of those hard to ignore technologies. Javascript is a programming language that isn't simple to learn (I'll admit: I don't know it), but it's not difficult to use pre-written scripts in your pages.

And there are lots of pre-written scripts on the net, and increasingly more programs can also generate JS code for you.

Details matter, though, and with JS versions, browser versions, and just plain old botched programming, a fair amount of what you'll find won't be bulletproof.

So what follows are just the scripts that I have tried and found useful. I'll try to explain why and how I use them, and what all has gone wrong for me.

Enjoy!
