Code We’ve Written

JavaScript/DOM Scripting

Below is a list of some of the little scripts we’ve written for this site and others using JavaScript/DOM Scripting.

• Footnote Links – 8 May 2005

  Purpose

  This script builds a list of URIs (hrefs or citations) from any tags within a specified container and appends the list (as footnotes) to the document in a specified location. Any referenced elements are given a dynamically-assigned number (in the form of a superscript) which corresponds to the link in the footnote list. The script checks for duplicate links and associates them with the same number. This script was created as a usability enhancement for printed webpages.

  Current Version

  1.3 (21 June 2005)

• JavaScript Utilities Library – 13 May 2005

  Purpose

  This script provides functions for browsers which do not inherently support the entire JavaScript Core and supplies some useful functions PHP developers might wish they had access to.

  Current Version

  2.1 (21 June 2005)

• jsTrace – 26 October 2005

  Purpose

  This script is an attempt to replicate the functionality of ActionScript’s Trace window in JavaScript (to get rid of those nasty alert boxes usually used when debugging).

  Current Version

  1.3 (1 November 2005)

• Make Glossary – 7 June 2005

  Purpose

  This script has been rewritten as Page Glossary.

  Current Version

  1.1 (21 June 2005)

• Page Glossary – 27 November 2005

  Purpose

  A replacement for makeGlossary, this script collects all of the abbreviations (<abbr>), acronyms (<acronym>), and definitions (<dfn>) on a page and builds a definition list (<dl>) of the terms, which is appended to a specified container (identified by its id). The script checks for duplicate terms and also alphabetizes the terms. This script was created as a usability enhancement for webpages.
