JavaScript Functions Used in this Tutorial

In the example above all individual JavaScript functions are in the Head tag except for one. The message that is displayed needs a small amount of additional information in the Body of the web page. Otherwise the Browser would not know where to display the message:

<a id="Words">You can add a start up message here that will show up when the page first loads.</a>

The following is the Java Script functions as listed in the head tag of this page:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

// LINKS FOR RANDOM FUNCTION
var links = new Array(4);
links[0] = "http://www.yahoo.com/";
links[1] = "http://www.google.com/";
links[2] = "http://www.altavista.com/";
links[3] = "http://www.webcrawler.com/";
