useful javascript objects (v 1.1)

What are they?top ↑ 

Useful javascript objects is a small collection of stand alone single javascript objects that are simply written, with script docs, which enable you to add functionality to HTML pages.

Who are they for and why?top ↑ 

If you are an interface developer or you just look after your moms home page and want to learn more about javascript.
There are lots of really excellent javascript libraries which you can use, but if you want to write your own javascript and don't want to be at the mercy of any particular library useful javascript objects can give you a base on which to work from. You can quite quickly learn enough javascript to be able to extend and modify these objects and create your own.
These objects are written in classic constructor style (not object literal notation) to make the as easy to follow as possible. Also, most .js files have an equivilent scriptdoc file, so if your useing an editor that understands scripdocs you will get code information. (Some older files have naturaldoc notation comments)

How do you use them?top ↑ 

See the individual objects for usage examples

What else do I need to know?top ↑ 

I recommend using Aptana for developing javascript together with Firefox browser with the Firebug add-on installed.

Most of the examples use the "loader" object, you don't have to, I just have. Also, you'll see the "logger" object used quite a lot too, again it's not needed, but I use it as it's quite handy to keep an eye on what your javascript is doing. So I would recommend those two be the first ones you look at.
