Message Miscellanious

Text Fader
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

(Internet Explorer 4.0+) Fades a text message on the page. Useful to draw the visitor's attention to a message without using HTML's annoying blink tag. It even looks cool! Visitors without Internet Explorer will see the normal text, no error messages.

 

Popup information box II
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Use these colorful popups to provide additional information about any link, inline and non intrusively as the mouse moves over the link. Cool, we say!

 

Mike's DHTML scroller
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Similar to our own DHTML scroller creation (Pausing up-down scroller), Mike's DHTML scroller features smooth pausing between messages, configurable scroll speed, color, and font. Oh yes, and the script's cross browser functional too…

 

Flipping Messages
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

When given a text box, JavaScript can flash messages in it. Similar to a scroll, but no scrolling is involved - otherwise it would be a scroll, not a game :)

 

Alert
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

If you're just looking for a quick way to tell your visitor something, use this JavaScript alert! When they put their cursor on the link, they get the message in the form of a JavaScript alert!

 

Alert & Confirm
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Here is a JavaScript confirm message that has variable responses. Basically, the response they get depends on what the user enters.

 

Banner Ads
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Need to rotate banner ads on your site? How about doing it in JavaScript! This simple little JavaScript will print out a random banner ad each time your page is viewed. Awesome!

 

Check Sorter
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

JavaScript can sort data based on any field of information. In this example, a checkbook register can be sorted by date, check number, check amount, or paid to person. We're one step closer to online banking... ;-)

 

Confirm Entry
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

This JavaScript asked you if you would like to continue. If you say "OK", it loads the page. If you click "CANCEL" (kinda like no) then it takes you back where you came from. Very neat! Really short!

 

Dancing Links
Compatibility: IE4+
Description:

(Internet Explorer Only!) This little script will continuously change the highlighted link colors (visited and unvisited links) in Internet Explorer. Very neat! Netscape - why doesn't your browser support this? :-)

 

Default Status Message
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

Here's a neat way to put a message in the status bar on your page. It will stay there as the default message! Neat!

 

Define It
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

Look how easy it is to offer your visitors a definition to unfamiliar terms on your site. It takes just one line of code!

 

Description Layer
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

(4.0+ browsers) Offer your visitors a quick description or more information about a link before they visit it. When they put their cursor over a link a layer will appear describing the link. Your visitors will appreciate the extra effort, and it looks great too!

 

Find In Page
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

Allow your visitors to perform the same find in page search that Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers can perform on a page. They just enter a search term and hit enter. If the term is found on the page it is highlighted. Great!

 

Footer Text
Compatibility: IE4+, NS4+
Description:

(Version 4.0+ browsers) If adding and updating links at the bottom of each HTML page of your site is driving you crazy, here's the solution. JavaScript can read from an external file and include that code on the bottom of each page. The external file that it reads (with a .js extension) could contain the JavaScript code to print your footer text! Then, when the links change, just update the .js file, and all the other pages are updated, instantly! Great! (Note: Some servers do not support external .js files. Contact your system administrator to ensure you can run it on your site.)

 

Greeting When Entering Page
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

This will prompt the user for his name then place a greeting on the page.

 

Headliner
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

When you need to present information on your site, you should consider this script. Appropriately named the Headliner, it presents a number of messages to your visitors in many different formats including a simple scroll, typewriter, expand, and just static text. Each message when clicked can take the visitor to a different URL! This script is really great.... Just check it out!

 

Help Popups
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Microsoft Windows help boxes are second-nature to most of us by now. How about having a similar popup help box on your web site!? When visitors put their cursor on an item you have defined as having a help popup, it will load very quickly because JavaScript is actually creating the entire HTML page for the popup! There are tons of customizations you can play with the tailor the appearance of the popups to your site. You have to see this script, it's great!

 

Image Description
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Offer your visitors a short description when they put their cursor on an image link. Give more information about what is offered at a site, if it is free or not, or anything else you think is important for them to know. Neat!

 

Info Stories
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+

Jitter Text
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

(Version 4.0+ Browsers) The blink tag was good at getting your visitors attention, but how quickly it got annoying.... The newest attention-getter is Jitter Text! Just enter the text you want to use, and in version 4.0+ browser it will 'jiggle' around the screen, like jello! And it is not annoying! Check it out!

 

Link Message
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

It's nice of you to show your visitors a little bit about a link before they follow it! When they put their cursor on a link, a description of the link appears on the status bar, rather than the URL! I can think of many times this would be very convenient....

 

Menu Message

Description:

This script does a great job in presenting lots of information to your visitors without filling up your whole page. Each listing in the Pulldown Menu shows a different message in the text box! Give it a try!

Name Alert
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Name Write
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+

Instead of alerting the user with 'Welcome Name!' you can write it into your page. This is neat for users to suddenly be reading along and just stumble upon their own name!

 

Phone Lookup

Allows the user to enter their area code and phone number and have the modem dialup phone number for their area displayed. If their area code matches an area code as defined in the script, the appropriate dialup number is displayed. For all other area codes, an error message is displayed. Only supports one dialup number per area code, though.

 

Print Page
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Although JavaScript can't print a web page automatically, it can bring up the print prompt box just like the print button in the web browser does. The user can click "OK" to print the page. The script can be placed as a reminder to your visitors to print out important pages which contain their passwords, account info, order number, etc. The script can also be set to automatically remind them when the page loads.

 

Print Page (Automatic)
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Quick Alert

Random Sentences
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+

Script Debugger
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Having trouble adding a JavaScript to your site? Just can't get things working? Add this short script to your site, and it will report to you JavaScript errors as they happen in a box on the screen. The idea is that you will see what the error is, and hopefully give you some ideas on how to fix it. I actually use this script when I debug scripts!

 

Show Link Info
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

Let your visitor know exactly where a link will send them. This short script displays the domain the link points to as well as the filename of the page in the status bar at the bottom bar of the browser window.

 

Split String
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

The substring() function allows you to pull out any combination of characters from a string. In this example, an unformated date string such as 19990422 (which represents April 22, 1999) can be split up into 1999, 04, and 22. Each of these are separate variables that you can deal with independently in your scripts! Neat!

 

Time Message
Compatibility: IE3+, NS3+
Description:

This JavaScript is pretty interesting. It will dynamically (means it's different every time) write to the screen a message that depends on the time on the visitor's clock when they load the page. I'm almost positive you've seen it before. Now, get it on your page!

 

Zen Phrases
