Ok, so I was getting frustrated with the inability to hide data in javascript, as well as a number of other concerns with existing class structures (the requirement to use this.constructor in lieu of self, for example).

As a result, I've thrown together a nice little class constructor that accepts a class definition, as well as a class extender that allows you to build a new class from an existing one, with full access to all that private stuff.

Simple. It's parse_url, from PHP, implemented in Javascript. Seen a lot of similar ones around the web, but they were all bulky code and none of them took advantage of the RegEx parser in JS.

Applied as a member of the String prototype, so just call as myURL.parseURL(); Will return a named object with naming identical to that of PHP's function.

Additional: if first argument is present, will break the querystring up into name/value pairs, unescaped, and return that instead of the raw querystriing.

Forgive the formality here; this is one of my professional scripts.

Prototype's Form.Methods library has a nice piece of code called 'serialize', which, if passed with the optional 'hash' parameter set to true, will convert an HTML form into a Javascript Object.

I was dismayed, however, to find that there was no way to reverse it; just as simply load a form using a Javascrip object.

So, here's one. enjoy.

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

It works with Array types. The example is a simple list of numbers, but the array could contain anything; lists of strings, functions, DOM nodes, whatever. Unfortunately, a lot of things that seem like arrays in the DOM aren't really, so you can't shuffle the images on a page with just document.images.shuffle() all by itself.

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.
