This snippet also you to limit the input in a form field to a specified number of characters. It displays a counter so users can see how many characters they have left, and once they reach the limit the field just trims the length to your limit.

The following is a snippet from what I used when I implemented a tagboard to my site. Further revisions could/should read the LIMIT from the maxlength attribute

A websafe colour palette generator in JavaScript. Coded this after looking at http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/585/ and wanting to do it differently.

It's been refactored so that:
* can pass generateColourPalette an arbitrary array of colour codes and it'll generate a palette.
* it hooks into the page through the external file
* uses an internal stylesheet instead of inline styles

Returns an array with all the objects with certain class. tested on IE 6 and Firefox 2

I use this function when passing an array to a function being called from setTimeout();
