JavaScript Tools for Web Designers

Practically since the dawn of the modern World Wide Web, ambitious web designers have relied on JavaScript to enhance the appearance and functionality of their websites. But the use of JavaScript was always tempered by broad admonitions from experts that you should never make JavaScript critical to the use of a website. That attitude has pretty much disappeared in the last 6-10 years with the advent of the smartphone and HTML 5.

The JavaScript tools presented here are a collection of scripts I've developed over the years. Some of them I rely on regularly, and some were developed for single special purposes. I don't pretend that any of them are leaps of programming genius. The goal is to simply share some handy scripts to help other web designers so that you don't have to "re-invent the wheel". All of them are free to download and use, and they all include documentation on the presenting pages linked below. I hope you find them useful.

I've been working with computers for over 30 years now, and one phrase keeps popping into my head - "I hate it when it's right!" And laptops and smartphones are no better.
