JavaScripts? CGI Scripts?
Clip Them Here!

JavaScript and CGI scripts are the easy way to make your site come alive. Whether it's a guestbook, a bulletin board, messages in your browser's status bar or interactive pop-ups, they're all easily accomplished with one or the other. Best of all, there are now many superb sites on the Internet which allow you to cut and paste pre-written, tested scripts for free. So you don't need to be a rocket scientist to use them.

JavaScript is well-supported by Netscape's browsers (because they invented it) but most early versions of Internet Explorer have varying degrees of problems with it. This means that if you use JavaScripts extensively you should test, test, test! (Microsoft finally got their JavaScript support almost right with Explorer 5.0, so this problem should eventually disappear).

CGI scripts however (which are most commonly written in the Perl language) will work equally well with both browsers. This is because they're executed on the web server, rather than in the browser when a web page loads.

We've listed the best JavaScript and CGI resources we know about right here. If you find one we've overlooked, tell us about it! Otherwise.... have fun!

GREAT JAVASCRIPT AND CGI RESOURCES
Resource Description
Matt's Script
Archive
This famous site has more than 16 free cut and clip CGI scripts for adding counters, guestbooks, bulletin boards, free-for-all lists and other useful add-ons to your site. Matt's Script Archive is a (deserved) multi award-winner and a prime source for many of the most common web site applications that most webmasters need.
The CGI
Resource Index
This spin-off venture from Matt's Script Archive (above) holds reviews of several thousand CGI scripts in hundreds of categories - anything from freeware offerings through to full-blown commercial applications and freelance CGI programmers. If you need a special script or some ad-hoc programming talent for your web site, this is one of the very best places on the Net to start looking.
JavaScript For
The Total
Non-Programmer
This site is part of the much larger WebTeacher.Com site, and offers a complete tutorial on JavaScript for people with nil or very limited exposure to programming. If you're completely new to JavaScript or would like to increase your knowledge, this excellent, easy-to-read  tutorial is a great place to start (NB: This site also has a CGI tutorial)
Autoscripter This great site offers hundreds of pre-built JavaScripts and DHTML scripts you can add to your pages, along with a few Perl Scripts and some CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) too! Author John Keyes has put a lot of effort into this site and - by golly - it certainly shows. You can easily spend quite a lot of time here. Well worth a visit.
The JavaScript
Source
This site (now part of Internet.Com) offers hundreds of free cut-and-paste JavaScripts along with JavaScript tutorials, books, a message forum and a regular email newsletter. Both serious coders and enthusiastic novices can find something of value here.
JavaScript City Another useful site that also offers hundreds of free cut-and-paste JavaScripts, JavaScript tutorials, books and a message forum. This site also has links to many other web resources in areas outside JavaScript. A useful resource!
JavaScript Guide Netscape's official guide to JavaScript covers everything right up to the current 1.2 release in 12 chapters and 3 appendices, all available online. Netscape invented JavaScript and still guide its ongoing development, so there's really no higher source of knowledge about the language.
JavaScript World Netpedia's JavaScript World is another excellent source of JavaScripts, technical backup, forums, opinions, advice and books - and also has an expanding section devoted to DHTML. Much bigger than it first looks and worthwhile exploring.
JavaScript Tip
Of The Week
This site was one of the pioneering JavaScript sites and remains a great place to visit, even though it's no longer being updated. It contains over 30 cut-and-paste Javascripts and some very useful tips.
Dynamic Drive Dynamic Drive is a marvellous source of pre-tested, reliable JavaScripts and DHTML scripts - all tested for functionality under NS4, NS6 and IE. It also has lots of tips, tricks and expert advice too - including what causes JavaScript conflicts when you run multiple scripts on a single page and how you can circumvent the problem.
