Javascript Resources

Here are some of the javascript codes that I find invaluable day to day designing web sites.

• DISPLAYING CURRENT DATE WITH JAVASCRIPT - Here is javascript code that will display the current date. Just copy this into your html code where you want the date to display.
  
  <script language="JavaScript"><!-- function makeArray() { for (i = 0; i<makeArray.arguments.length; i++) this[i + 1] = makeArray.arguments[i]; } var months = new makeArray('January','February','March', 'April','May','June','July','August','September', 'October','November','December'); var date = new Date(); var day = date.getDate(); var month = date.getMonth() + 1; var yy = date.getYear(); var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy; document.write(months[month] + " " + day + ", " + year); //--></script>
  
  
  
  
• AVOIDING THE SPAM CRAWLERS - Here is a simple javascript that you can use to display email addresses so that spam crawlers can't see them, this also incorporates a text style to put inside your a href tags:
  
  <script language="javascript"><!-- var username="hgoff"; var hostname="goffgrafix.com"; var textstyle="text2"; var linktext= "please click here to email Heather;" document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "to:" + username + "@" + hostname + "><span class=" + textstyle+ ">" + linktext + "</span></a>") //--></script>
  
  
  
  
• JAVASCRIPT TO INCREMENT THE DATE - Tired of updating the copyright dates on your websites every year? Here is a script that automatically shows the current year. Put this in your footer include and you will never need to update the date again.
