Disable "Enter" key in form script
Credits: Nurul Fadilah
Is the user pressing the "Enter" key in the middle of your form causing
inadvertent and incomplete form submissions? This script disable the "Enter" key
when pressed inside chosen fields of your choice. Moreover, it then advances the
cursor to the next field within the form. Very useful.
Required field(s) validation

This popular script by Toh checks all fields of your choice to see whether
they're filled out before permitting the form to submit. Just updated to check
radio buttons as well.

The Matrix Text effect
Credits: Richard Womersley
It is said you must see The Matrix to understand it. Well, same thing perhaps
with this awesome Matrix Text Effect- it renders digital letters that drop down
gradually to form the phrase of your choice, just like in the movie. Just don't
stare at it too long and get sucked in!

Collapsible Frame script
Credits: Dynamic Drive
If your site uses frames, a fantastic feature to add would be the ability to
collapse/expand a particular frame on user demand. This allows a frame to be
tucked away when it's not needed. This script enables you to do just that, and
is functional in both IE4+ and NS6+. Completely rewritten from old "Collapsible
Left Frame" script.
Email Riddler Credits: Dynamic Drive
Email Riddler is an online tool that encrypts and transform your email address
into a series of numbers when displaying it, making it virtually impossible for
spam harvesters to crawl and add your email to their list. Take that spam bots!

ProHTML Ticker
Tired of the meticulous format required when entering messages into JavaScript
Tickers? ProHTML Ticker rotates regular HTML messages wrapped around
simply in DIV tags, making updating its content a breeze!
Combo Box Viewer Credits: Dynamic Drive
Looking for a dynamic way to display content on your page that's easy to
implement as well? The Combo-box Viewer script allows users to selectively view
HTML content on your page via a drop down menu. Each content is simply wrapped
inside a special <DIV> tag.

Left-right Image Slideshow Script
Credits: Dynamic Drive
It's old, except it's new! This popular image slideshow script, which slides
images into view images from right to left in a "pushy" manner, has just been
upgraded with several bug fixes plus the all important NS6 and Opera 7
compatibility!
Presentational slideshow
Credits: Dynamic Drive
We got our inspiration for this script from the frontpage of MSNBC (midpage),
where they use a similar device to scroll through pictures. This cool script
displays and rotates images in a "presentational", left-to-right sliding manner.
Images can be optionally hyperlinked.

Browser Sniffer script
Credits: BrotherCake
This browser sniffer script detects all the major browsers currently available,
and passes the results on as variables to facilitate your browser detection
needs. It differentiates between Windows, Mac and Linux, and the most commonly
used DHTML browsers - IE4/5/6, Netscape 4/6/7/other Gecko, Konqueror 2.2+,
Safari, Opera 5/6/7, and "other."
VML Editor Credits: Jacco
IJzerman
VML (Vector Markup Language) is a text based vector graphics format proprietary
to Internet Explorer. Jacco has created the following powerful VML editor to
allow you to use your mouse to visually render basic VML text and shapes, with
the corresponding VML codes then generated. A powerful demonstration of DHTML
and VML.

George's Expandable ticker
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Quite possibly the only ticker of its kind out there, George's Expandable Ticker
brings together the best of two worlds to create a ticker that can be viewed
both sequentially and simultaneously, via a dropdown menu. Very cool, just as
practical!
January 24th, 2003
One of the goals here at Dynamic Drive is to get every script to live up to its full potential! With that in mind, two popular scripts have just been updated by us with some useful improvements:
1)
Open links in new window
Add the option of allowing links on your page to be opened in a new window with
this powerful script. A simple checkbox toggles between current and new window.
Updated to allow links to open in a set secondary window (versus a new window
each time).
2)
Open offsite links in new
window
Concerned about people leaving your site when navigating to offsite links? A
derivative of above script, this one targets only links not of your domain to
open in a new window. Updated to allow multiple domains to be added to the
"excluded" list.

Flexi slide show Credits: Dynamic Drive
One of the biggest complaints of regular image slideshows is that the
participating images must be of the same width/height. Well, Flexi Slideshow can
accommodate images of different dimensions, and also, optional text beneath any
slide.

Tower of Hanoi Credits: Glenn Vergara
The Tower of Hanoi is a classic puzzle game where you try to move disks from the
left-most pole to the right using the least amount of moves. This DHTML script
features full drag-and-drop interface, and "auto solve" ability.
Slide-In
menu series Credits: Dynamic Drive
We've just updated all 4 scripts in our Slide-In Menu series by incorporating
some of the most asked features by you over the last year. The changes are:
1) All 4 menus now support both text links and regular text as
their content.
2) You can now specify exactly how much each of the 4 menus should protrude
initially from the user's window (in px).
3) The slide-out animation in
Slide-In Menu 1 and
Slide-In Menu 4 now made much smoother and faster.
With these changes in place, we're confident the series is now more usable than ever!

Dissolving image rollover
Credits: Roy Whittle
Everyone loves a great image rollover effect it seems. Well, a beefed up version
of just that, Roy's script adds a dissolving effect during image change in IE4+.
The script works across all browsers, though as eluded to, only IE4+ will
experience the added transition. A nicely put together visual effect!
LCD Clock
Credits: JavaScript Kit
This digital clock attempts to mimic that cool "glow in the dark" look of a LCD
watch when it comes to its interface. Displays the time in standard 12-hour
format, with a "AM" and "PM" indicator.

Flashing form element

Use this DHTML script to make certain form elements flash with glee. It's a
great way to draw attention to "important" fields, such as the submit button,
etc.

Watching eyes script
Credits: Kurt Grigg
"In with the new, out with the old!" we say. The old Watching Eye script has
just been dropped, replaced by Kurt's version of it, which is much more
efficient, and works in all DHTML browsers, including NS7 and Opera. Now users
of all browsers can feel like they're being watched.
Floating Menu script Credits: Roy Whittle
We had a tough time settling between the words "floating" and "static" when
naming this script, though we're confident you'd agree with our final decision.
Welcome to Roy's cross browser floating menu, which remains static on the user's
screen by gently gliding into view whenever the page is scrolled. Very cool,
quite calming!
Note that this script replaces completely the old "Static Menu script", which used a single large image as the menu.

Dock Content script
Credits: Dynamic Drive
This powerful script allows you to keep arbitrary elements on your page always
in view, by "docking" it. It dynamically determines whether the element is
currently visible on the user's screen, and if not, repositions it so it is. A
great way to ensure that certain content are noticed by your visitors.
Xin's Popup Calendar
Credits: Xin Yang
Xin's Popup Calendar script makes inputting dates into forms as easy as
point-and-click. Your user simply selects the date from a popup calendar, and
it's automatically entered into the designated form field. This is one of the
best script of its kind in our opinion.

DOM XML ticker
Credits: Dynamic Drive
By combining DHTML with XML, this ticker script makes updating its contents a
breeze, through an external XML file. Just open the file, and enter the desired
messages to show. Plain text and links (with targeting) are supported, and
script is functional in both IE5+ and NS6+, degrading well with the rest.
Cross Browser Marquee
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Long overdue, one of the oldest scripts in our archive is now also the latest! A
complete rewrite, our beloved Cross Browser Marquee now works in NS6+, plus adds
support for pause "onmouseover" and configurable background color.

VML fireworks script
Credits: Jacco IJzerman
DHTML is still evolving at this point, with one of the proprietary extensions
being IE5's VML. Well using it, Jacco's script renders rather realistically
looking fireworks on your page without the use of graphics.
Conveyor Belt
slideshow
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Using feedback from you as the blueprint, we've given the conveyor belt
slideshow a new engine. And with that, gone is the disconcerting gap, or white
space, that was present as the script reached the end of each slide cycle. The
new script displays each cycle in a continuous fashion. And because no script
would be complete without it, the slideshow now also functions in NS6/Mozilla.
Enjoy!

Find In Page Script
Credits: Alan Koontz
One of our visitors Alan Kroontz has just replaced the original "Find in page"
script (by Mike Hall) on DD with a more cross browser functional, robust clone.
The script simulates the Edit> Find In Page feature of the
browser to allow your visitors to easily search for a particular text on your
page. Unlike the original version, this one supports easy searching of another
frame, plus bears the distinct title of being the first script in our archive
designed specifically for NS7+.

Scrollable Menu links
Credits: Dynamic Drive
If you have a lot of menu links and not a lot of space, this is the script to
turn to. It compacts any content into a predefined area, with the content
accessible via left and right scroll buttons. A rather big update, this script
now works in NS6+ (incl. Mozilla).
