Code & Scripts: Free Stuff

Code & Scripts: Free Stuff

Here's several VB/ASP and JavaScripts (and even some Perl/CGI) you can grab for FREE, that might help you with a few of those pesky problems web-bulders are always having... You can also browse my applications - complete, plug-in or stand-alone solutions for you and your clients.

Free Stuff:

ASP/VBScript (...grayed-out items, and more, are coming soon...)
- Detect browser-types without JavaScript! (and load browser-specific code or stylesheets)
- Use the Microsoft Ad-Rotator Component to manage up to 10,000 banner-ads, with specific "impression-rates" set for each one, using a single text file and a component already installed on all Microsoft servers (and Personal Web Server)
- Get a Date! I'm always amazed when I see an ASP-based site where something like the copyright date (year) in the footer still says 2000.
- Dynamic Server Side Includes (that's right!)
- Password protection, page-login and redirect script. You can redirect people to different folders or pages, based on the username/password they entered, or just require a login for everyone viewing a particular page.
- Display content dynamically (even date-specific), without a database!
- Automatically create clickable links around URLs and e-mail addresses contained in retrieved text
- ASP Stylesheets/CSS. Aren't you tired of writing "arial, helvetica, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif..." a hundred times?) Me too.
- Use the server to remember stuff while people browse your site: Session variables are your friend.
JavaScript/DHTML (...grayed-out items, and more, are coming soon...)
- Here's an old JavaScript image MouseOver I've used for navigation buttons since 1998, but which still works just fine - and is compatible with everything.
- Capture a page TITLE (for "e-mail this page" and related features)
CSS/Stylesheets (...grayed-out items, and more, are coming soon...)
- Super-easy image MouseOver trick which uses one style and the transparent portion of any image.
- "Print This Page" (ASP/VBScript and stylesheets)
- Here's a simple "browser sniffer" so you can detect the browser-type (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.) and then load a specific stylesheet
CGI/Perl
- I'll put something here soon...

Keep checking this section as I'll be updating it frequently, and please let me know if you're looking for someone to build a particular feature or application for your site. I'm cheap!
