Time-based Progress Bar
Credits: Brian Gosselin
Every now and then we'll discard a script and replace it completely with
something else. Well, this is one of those instances. Out is our own
Dynamic Progress Bar,
replaced by Brian's version of it. This cross-browser script renders a progress
bar that's time based (ie: set progress bar to complete loading in 10 sec).
Useful in providing graphical countdown to any action that involves a delay
before execution.
Event-based Progress Bar
Credits: Brian Gosselin
This progress bar script is event-based, meaning it loads according to the
denoted circumstance. Via 3 pre-exposed methods, you control precisely when the
bar loads and by how much each time. Useful in supplementing any script that may
require a graphical bar.

Tabs Menu (onmouseover)
Credits: Dynamic Drive
This is a mouseover tabs menu. Move the mouse over designated links, and
additional "sub links" appear beneath it. Think of it as an inline two level
menu.
Up-down image slideshow
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Updating scripts for NS6 functionality is always rewarding, and our latest
project is the up-down image slideshow. And as often expected, the script now
also works in Mozilla.

CSS Menu Highlight
Credits: Marc Boussard
"Highlight" your menu links as the mouse moves over them using this CSS powered
script! Thanks to CSS, the effect is very customizable, efficient, does not rely
on script, and finally, very small in file size. Visible in IE4+, NS6+, Opera
6/Mozilla, and degrades well with the rest.
Form field Limiter
Credits: Dynamic Drive
The things we do for our visitors- fine tuning and back tracking on a script
many times over so it comes out exactly the way we feel it should in order to be
practical. Anyhow, our latest creation allows you to limit the amount of text a
user can enter in particular INPUT or TEXTAREA elements, and display in real
time the amount of character remaining as well. Very cool, very practical.

Mike's DHTML Scroller
Credits: Updated by Dynamic Drive
After many hours of starring at the computer, we're happy to report Mike's
popular DHTML scroller is now NS6 functional! For people not familiar with this
script, it's a robust scroller that features smooth pausing between messages,
configurable scroll speed, color, and font.

Daily iframe content
Credits: Dynamic Drive
This script loads a different page into an iframe daily (out of 7 days of the
week). Use it to serve up daily, changing content, such as a "tip of the day"
when you don't have access to server side resources.
Random iframe content
Credits: Dynamic Drive
By default, an iframe only displays one set URL. This script changes that, by
allowing you to specify a group of URLs for the iframe to randomly choose and
display from.

Always-on-top message
Credits: Dynamic Drive
We've always thought of the "Always on top message" script as being underrated.
To boast its image, the script's just been transplanted with NS6/Opera 6
compatibility, plus a much requested "display once per browser session" option.
Take that nay sayers!
Tic Tac Toe
Credits: Updated by Yossi Cohen
Word on the street is that Tic Tac Toe's sick of lossing, so he's fighting back.
Yossi Cohen brings 4 levels of difficulty to this classic game!

Fade-in slideshow
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Fade-in image slideshows are no longer impressive, unless the effect works in
both IE4+ and NS6, that is!
Animated window opener II
Credits: Rizwan Chand
Instead of just spawning a window, this script animates it into view, by
expanding it horizontally then vertically until it fills the screen. The
animation is fast enough to not become tedious, and the corresponding links are
easily set up.

Site Logo script Credits: Dynamic Drive
One of the very first scripts included on Dynamic Drive, the Site Logo
script has been brought back into the spotlight. The underlining code is now
greatly reduced and more efficient. By user request, the ability to specify user
offset of the logo from the browser edges is also added, so you can fine tune
where the logo appears on your page.

Page scroller (custom scrollbar)
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Looking for a script that replaces the window's default scrollbars in scrolling
the page? This script allows you to use custom images to scroll the page up/down
as the mouse moves over them.
Tic Tac Toe
Credits: Brian
Entertain your visitors to a quick game of Tic-Tac-Toe. Comes with artificial
intelligence and the ability to keep score :)

Image spotlight effect
Credits: Erik F
Cast an interactive "spotlight" on the image of your choice using this DHTML
script. Move the light about using your mouse. This script is more for
demonstrational purposes at this time, as it apparently requires a rather fast
computer to render smoothly.
Top Nav Bar III
Credits: Brothercake
Brothercake's Top Navigational Menu has just been completely overhauled. The
menu files are now larger, with the upside, however, being deeper compatibility
with all DHTML browsers (ie: Linux as well), faster rendering in IE, support for
up to 3 levels of menus, transitional effects, and more.

XML Ticker Credits:
Premshree Pillai
Premshree's innovative ticker script combines DHTML with XML to create a script
that rotates its messages from a separate xml file. While the script only works
in IE, it degrades well with the rest. An interesting creation!

Translucent scroller Credits:
Dynamic Drive
This is a sleek, "translucent" scroller. In between message changes, the
scroller turns semi transparent (in IE4/NS6+) as the next message slides up to
cover the old. A handsome effect you may have seen in the past rendered using
Flash, except this isnt!

Chromeless window Credits:
Gabriel Suchowolski
A chromeless window is a special type of window stripped of the conventional
interface, such as titlebar, browser buttons, status bar etc (aka chrome). This
allows you to implement your own chrome, from how the title bar should look, the
buttons to display (ie: close, max), to whether to render a border. In other
words, a custom popup window!

DOM image rollover Credits:
Chris Poole
One of the few JavaScript effects (remember "fading backgrounds"?) that has
withstood the test of time is "image rollovers." Move your mouse over an image,
and it changes to another. This script doesn't attempt to change that, just the
way the effect is added to your page...
April 19th, 2002
Required field(s) validation Credits:
LK Toh
One of the most popular form validation tasks is to check that important fields
within a form have been filled out by the user. This is a generic script that
will do just that, by verifying that mandatory fields are filled in before form
submission.
Image w/ description tooltip Credits:
Sharon Paine
Move the mouse over a link and have the image of your choice plus corresponding
description pop up, by using this tooltip script. Great for viewing images on
demand.

Document Wipes effect Credits:
Sharon Paine
This is a DHTML intro effect that "wipes" desired messages onto the screen
before redirecting to another page. Use it to provide an interesting
introduction to anywhere within your site.
Highlight Table Cells Script Credits:
Dynamic Drive
Give any table a "rollover" personality with this script! Using it, you can
allow the cells of any given table to change color when the mouse rolls over
them. This is a very powerful script that can add a little magic to any table,
whatever the table is used for. Updated for NS6/Opera 6 compatibility.

Neon Lights text II
Credits: Christian Schulz
Based on the original
Neon Lights
script, this script applies a "moving light" to any text by modifying its
color. Two different colors can be used concurrently for the effect, giving the
light depth.

Highlight Image Script |
Gradual-Highlight Image Script
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Both Highlight Image Script and Gradual-Highlight Image Script have
been upgraded to work in NS6, plus some code leaning. We consider these critical
updates, as the original versions register an error message in NS6 when run.

Scrollable iframe
Credits: Dynamic Drive
This great script renders an IFRAME with scroll up/down functionality of the
page within. It's an excellent way to display external content in a contained
space.

Expandable ticker
Credits: Dynamic Drive
Inspired by a similar script done by Premshree (author of "News Bar" below),
this script expands on the regular ticker tape, by delivering its messages both
in sequence (one at a time), and optionally, all at once. The advantage of this
is that the viewer can then view any message within the ticker on demand.
News Bar Credits:
Premshree Pillai
This is an attractive "news bar" script. Messages are automatically rotated and
displayed, with the ability to manually cycle back and forth through them. This
script is created entirely using form buttons.
Top Navigational Bar IV
Credits: Andy Woolley
A long overdue update, Andy's much acclaimed menu script has just been bumped up
from 3.0 to the latest version, 3.3. Don't let the numbers fool you- this is
definitely no small update. Sorry Andy for taking so long to get to it :)
