JavaScript Articles and Other Resources
- JavaScript Weirdness
Here's a list of the percentage of JavaScript features that work in each of the popular browsers. Sadly, it seems that only about 31% of the features work with both 3.0 and above browsers. I know site developers who have decided simply not to use JavaScript at all rather than mess with the compatibility issues.

WackyPages
This is a Web site devoted to various wild-assed, funny things done with DHTML. Look for The Amazing Money Machine, Sassy's Worldwide Dogbite Service, Inc., Sea-Fu and other strange pages.

Amazing HTML
This is an entire Web site devoted to wiggling type and such. It is a sister to this site and is quite cool, of course.

How to Do Easy, Cool Transitions (wipes, dissolves) in IE
Wipes, fades, pop-ups, up-pops, dissolves, transitions. All those good things. One simple line of code pasted into a HTML page lets you add easy special effects to your Internet Explorer pages.
- Layers of Simplicity
I did not like layers. I hated how various sites used it to clutter my screen with crap. Then I came across Netscape's Expanding Colored Squares Example. I was transfixed by the expanding and contracting squares until, hours later, I realized I needed a life.
- Dynamic HTML
So Near and Yet So Far -Netscape or Microsoft? I'll take the one in the middle, please. A silly arms-race mentality keeps exciting new tools tantalizingly out of our reach.
- Signed Scripts
Some people don't want any Tom, Dick, or Mary to have the ability to poke around their computer, so Netscape only allows signed scripts to have special access to your computer. How do you sign scripts?

Javascript Image Object
Here's How To Build Crazy Roll-over Buttons. I'm noticing more sites using Javascript to enhance their content, so I thought it'd be nice to further explore the language and its capabilities. One feature that is worth looking at is the Image object, which was introduced in the Netscape 3 browser. If you took a closer at some of the more popular interactive sites, you'll find that they use Image to the full extent. In this article we'll show you how to use the Image object and show you a few things that you can do with it.
