JavaScripted Libraries

Scott Mellendorf JavaScripted Libraries

JavaScript allows web page designers to construct pages and sites that enhance the user's experience. It can add logical interaction, improve navigation, and increase screen use space. This web site attempts to list those libraries that are utilizing javascripts in a practical manner. These scripts are excellent examples of how to improve the user's visit and make the site more efficient. If you would like to add your library or know of another fine example of a javascripted library, please send me an email (mel@svsu.edu) with the url and a brief description of the site.
