A few years ago I was playing around with Javascript, and I did some online testing. That is the purpose of these links. If you are amused, email me. Warning: Dumb Javascript Links follow: A simple Javascript Clock function and A collection of Stupid Javascript Tricks

A bit of history - this site was originally developed in the 1990s using a simple text editor. I still maintain it with a text editor, coding in 'raw html'. I draw your attention to the Blinking Text above, it is an example of the first 'animation' function seen on the web. It was also, like the Go To, considered Harmful, and was widely denounced as annoying. Now with flash ads, popunders and a host of attention grabbers infesting nearly every web page, the simple blink tag is merely a sad relic from a simpler age.
