Plain Text Please

JavaScript requires a plain text editor

One problem that a lot of people who are new to JavaScript have when following the instructions on how to copy someone's script onto their site is that they use the wrong editor (or rather save the output in the wrong format). JavaScript files need to be plain text if you want them to work - saving as rich text or as a Word document are amongst the easiest ways for a newcomer to JavaScript to set up the script so that everything looks right and which then leaves them wondering why the code doesn't work.
