Code Toolbox

This is where I post things that I’ve written that I think will come in handy. The list is small right now, mostly because I haven’t had time to update the site lately (*sniff*). You’ll either see a ZIP file or a link to a page with the code on it.

Disclaimer? I can't provide any kind of support on these downloads (not that you need any). However, if you notice errors on a download or tutorial, I'd appreciate it if you let me know.

Sortable AJAX Grid
This is a javascript that takes an XML feed and displays it as a sortable table - all with only one XMLHttpRequest and no page refresh! Requires web server software such as Apache HTTP Server or IIS.

Classic ASP XML Proxy Script
I got bored one Sunday morning and decided to write a server-side XML proxy (useful if you want to use AJAX to consume a feed from another website). The code (ASP Javascript) is pretty short so I just included it on the sample page.

ASP RSS 2.0 Aggregator (Rss2Aggregator.zip | 4 Kb | View Example)

  • Classic ASP with server-side JScript

AJAX Example (ajaxexample.zip | 4.44 Kb | See example)

  • A simple, do-it-yourself example of the AJAX/XmlHttpRequest technique.

Random quote using XML DOM (randomquote_xmldom.zip | 2.46 Kb)
This example will show you how to use the XML Document Object Model to display a random quote on your website.

Javascript Tooltip (my_js_tooltip.zip | 2 Kb | See example)
This download will give you everything you need to put mouse-tracking tooltips into your web pages.

RFC-822 Date/Time generator (See example)
I recently had to write an AJAX script that would send the client’s current time to the server in RFC822 datetime format. Hence this script (included on the example page).
