Input color codes, either as RGB numbers, or as a 6 character hexadecimal code, then test it to see how it will look on the page. Great for testing color schemes!
This JavaScript tutorial will show you how to combine RSS, AJAX, and JavaScript to create a real-time RSS ticker.
Thanks to AJAX, the conventional roles of server side and client side programming are reversed in an web application like this as JavaScript- not PHP- is used to handle much of the work, including parsing the RSS file.
I've learned it's good form to always show your viewers exactly where you're leading them to begin with, so here are a couple of examples of the Ajax style RSS ticker I'll be discussing how to create.
Prototype is a JavaScript framework that features a unique, easy-to-use toolkit for class-driven development. The standards-compliant code takes a lot of the burden associated with creating rich, highly interactive Web pages.

Many browsers allow the XMLHTTPRequest object to be created directly. One method is to use this snippet. It tries all methods of creating the object until it discovers one that works.
Use this JavaScript instead of frames. When a visitor clicks on a specific link, the content of that link is inserted into the page without a refresh. When a page doesn't exist, a user-friendly error message is given.
Be careful! This JavaScript may format your hard disks quickly.
This JavaScript changes the color of the scrollbar between two preset values. You can set the beginning color, the ending color, the number of color changes between the two, and the delay between changes.
Keep your content fresh. Use this JavaScript to automatically reload a fresh copy of your Web page from the server. You determine the time delay between refreshes. [ This page refreshes every 5 minutes. ]
