Add pre-written JavaScripts to your web pages to enhance your site.
By Stephen Chapman, About.com Guide to JavaScript
You do not necessarily need to learn to write JavaScript yourself in order to be able to use it on your web site. There are a number of collections of JavaScripts available on the web that give you permission to copy their scripts to use on your own site. You have found one such library here where you will find hundreds of JavaScripts that I have written that you are welcome to copy and use on your site. Each script comes with complete instructions on how to install it.

How to use Pre-Written Scripts
Your guide has written a number of JavaScripts that can be easily added to any site. Just follow the supplied instructions to install the script. No programming experience is required. The following instructions apply to all the scripts on this site as well as many that you will find elsewhere.
- Copyright of Scripts
- Copy and Paste
- What are head scripts and body scripts?
- Resolving Clashes between scripts
Scripts by Type
I have written a range of scripts of various types. If you are not sure exactly what script you need but know roughly what you want it to do then you will probably find what you are looking for from those in the appropriate category listed here. If you know what the script you are looking for is called you might find it easier in the alphabetical list of all my scripts.
Create Custom Scripts
Generate scripts customized to your requirements without having to code them yourself using these script makers.
Other Libraries Where You can get Scripts
There are a number of JavaScript libraries on the web where you can go to obtain scripts written by others. These libraries contain hundreds (if not thousands) of pre-built Javascripts that you are free to use on your site. I am gradually reviewing them so that you will know what to watch out for when you visit them.
