Cut and Paste JavaScripts

Did you ever wonder, how did they do that? In all probability you were looking at a JavaScript. A JavaScript is HTML code embedded inside of your web page. It simply runs a small program when someone loads the page into memory. For instance, our splash page at 6STAR.NET will tell you "Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening" depending on the time of day taken from your computer's clock. The words coming from a point in space and expanding to full screen in our Low Cost page is another example of JavaScript. The snow falling down the screen in our Christmas show was JavaScript. Right click on this screen for another example. Also, JavaScript will create and handle cookies for advanced user interaction. JavaScript can do many things to spice up your site.

Interested, want to know more? There's good news and bad news. First, the bad news, JavaScript is a difficult language to learn and doesn't have a very user friendly way of letting you know what you did wrong when it doesn't work. However, the good news is that you don't need to know how to program with JavaScript to use it. There are many web sites that have extensive libraries of JavaScript which you can just "Cut and Paste" into your web page. Here is a list of our favorites:

DHTML Shock has many JavaScripts and DHTML scripts too.

JavaScript Source is our most favorite source. It contains about 800 scripts with live demos divided up into categories.

Java-Scripts has live demos of their JavaScripts and DHTML scripts too.

Info Hiway has JavaScripts and some Perl scripts scattered around the site.

Only Scripts has a very large collection of JavaScript, Perl and PHP scripts.

Web Site Abstraction has many JavaScripts, Java Applets, and some tutorials.

HotScripts has about 15,000 resources for JavaScripts, ASP, PHP, Perl, XML, Flash and many related tools and utility programs.
