I found this to be a neat little trick for hiding(somewhat) source javacscript code from peering eyes...

This function will unload all linked javascript files so that when you view source - you see no javascript files! (Especially helpful when using FF and using web-developer tools - no linked js files are displayed) The files remain resident in memory - allowing for the functions to work.

Just call the function in the tag

This snippet allows an aspx page (c#) to accept URL parameters to allow styles or script to be dynamically appended to the rendered page.

I wrote this simple snippet to allow one of our vendors to accept a style override so that their application would morph into something more closely resembling our own portal application. Please see screenshots for clarification.

There seems to be so many hide/show scripts out there, so here's the functions I wrote and use on a regular basis - there are 7 functions, hide, show and toggle by id or class - and the getElementByClass function that does not exist as a built in Javascript function...

This is in response to the flurry of visibility scripts that just don't have all the pieces needed to make them totally useful.

This script performs reliable, cross-browser input autofocus that often can be used simply by dropping it in, with no modifications to the form or HTML body. It refuses to switch focus if it detects that the user has interacted with the form (avoiding a major source of annoyance with autofocus scripts) and correctly handles Firefox tabs opened "in the background", which most autofocus scripts fail on.

A wrapper on top of createElement for getting around IE problems with manipulating the name attribute. Unlike most solutions for this, it tests for which method to use once when the page loads rather than every time an element is created. By Chaos of Lost Souls MUD (a text-based fantasy RPG).

A simple demo of the google maps API

I had searched high and low for a way to generate a palette of web-safe colors. Despite Google's best efforts, what I had found was lacking for my needs. So, I decided to write a library that would generate all 216 web safe colors, and then allow me to manipulate those colors in any way that I chose.

If anybody is curious as to why I would want to do something so... simple, it is because I needed a very light-weight color picker, and didn't want to mess with any fancy options.

Similar to Perl's CGI::escapeHTML(), though (because we can!) this adds it as a method to all String objects.
