Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet Access
• Computers
• Web Browsers

1. Type "free JavaScript" into a search engine. Most of the sites that offer free JavaScripts are registered with the major search engines.

2. Go to sites that specialize in JavaScripts, free or otherwise. Sites such as JavaScript.com offer thousands of free JavaScripts.

3. Check with your ISP. Some ISPs offer free JavaScripts for personal use, while others will create a simple script for you for a small fee.

4. Return to sites with JavaScripts that you like and ask the site owner where a script came from, and/or if you can copy it. Many site owners will allow you to do this if you provide a link back to their sites.

Tips & Warnings

• If a Webmaster allows you to use a JavaScript, reciprocate by linking back to his or her site.
• Make sure the JavaScript you choose provides instructions for its use (and for customizing it, if applicable).
• Do not use a JavaScript code without permission from the author or the Web site where you found it.
