Available in static JavaScript and dynamic (with a Perl backend) flavors, the WebReference xref script is a traffic-building tool that enables you to automatically insert links into your Web pages whenever a key term is encountered on the page. You can both use the script on your own Web pages (to be certain you are creating links for those key terms consistently throughout your site), as well as offer the script to your affiliates, so their pages can also automatically include links back to your site. Including the script on your pages (or on your affiliates) requires only a single line of JavaScript; and affiliates can link directly to your copy of the script, if you prefer (i.e., affiliates need not copy the script and install it on their own Web servers; they only need to insert the necessary JavaScript command on their pages to activ
In the original JavaScript tutorial, we implemented what one might call a "well-formed" JavaScript. The script was a huge scary thing that sat up in the HTML document's HEAD commands. The script started with the traditional <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> and ended with SCRIPT>. It was then triggered to begin running by an onLoad command stuck in the . That format is very common and you'll see it a great deal as you write your own Web pages.
Today we're going to shoot out a quick one liner script that can come in handy from time to time. It doesn't fall under the "necessary" category (or, maybe not even the "useful" one ;), but it's nice to have for those times when you just don't feel like doing any extra typing or expending the effort required to separate the wheat from the chaff on a screen full of garbage output. That is, as I've always understood, one of the main reasons to script things out in the first place. The other reasons, like automation, efficiency, etc, are pretty much ignored here, even though we will be automating a repetitive action and that, by definition, will make our waste of company time more efficient. No matter how you look at them, automation and efficiency always seem to be a good thing ;)
I'm beginning to think that this script should be put on my SourceForge page and maintained there. It's not that I mind doing these weekly updates, but I feel like I'm writing the same thing over and over again, where I could be offering you, the reader, more value by producing different scripts in its place. If you have a few seconds, please answer the short poll on the right hand side of the blog. If public opinion wants this project worked out on the blog, then so be it. If you're all getting sick of these updates, I can move this to my SourceForge page, as a project, and produce more original content for our Monday script posts.
In this article we will be exploring the registration script of our site. This script is responsible for registering new users for the website. We will also be looking at database security; since the registration script also uses a database table, we will implement some of the concepts that we will be discussing. This article is the sixth part of an eight-part series on web application security.
I am pleased to announce the release of Script Monkey. It's a Java based open-source plugin/tool/framework aimed to take Java to the next level by ahieving the power & flexibilities of interpreted/dynamic languages. Currently, it is available as IntelliJ plugin. Hopefully in the near future, I like to bring in more flavors of this tool.

"If you missed any of the others scripts we've jammed out, you can still find them in our older bash script posts to spew out famous quotations on pretty much any subject, do encylopedia lookups, access the online Thesaurus, translate between different languages and, of course, the use the online dictionary. This time we're going to take a crack at getting online weather updates, using zip codes."
"This script is fairly easy to run and somewhat limited. The only real limitation is that it will only return the first pages of quotes from QuotationsPage.com. Hopefully that should be enough since they seem to put the best ones near the top of the list."

"NOTE: We've attached the pagerank.c code at the end of this post, after our bash script. We've also compiled it, and put it up for download on a separate server, for Cygwin kernel 1.5.25 and Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-21 (Right click on either link and choose "Save As," since neither file has an extension, but both are binaries :) If you would like the binary compiled for your particular distro, send us an email (top right link) and we'll help you if it's possible :) If you prefer to build the binary from the attached source for yourself, you can do that with gcc (or your compiler of choice) very simply, as it requires no "special" arguments (just the c code file and an output file name), like so:"

In the last article we started to build our site and then continued to explore the login script. In this article we will continue to explore the script but will also discuss in detail the process of authentication and its security implications. We will eventually look at some of the common attacks that are perpetrated by malicious users. Join us in this fourth part of an eight-part series.
Stephen Chapman, the About.com JavaScript Guide, has written a great form script to create a drop-down menu out of a text field - a combo box. This form field is really useful if you want to provide specific answers for your most common answers, but also provide a text box for the less common answers. The example he gives is states in a country. In his form, if you're from Australia, you can choose your state from his drop-down menu, but if you're not from Oz, you can still write in your state (province) in the text field. A pretty cool and useful script.
