Quick way to learn how to speak gibberish. It is sometimes known as "girl-speak".

Forces users to have choice of downloading a binary file. This was becomming a problem with Word documents - as they would either open within the browser or open externally. You may need to change the FileName variable.

I was working on a scriptlet to allow users to choose a color. A color wheel is displayed with an assortment of colors - most of witch are web-safe. Clicking on a color causes it to be outlined and raise an event that a color was chosen. This object mimics one of the color-picker forms found in Microsoft Office 2000. This scriplet does not yet raise events or expose properties. The basics, however are available for you to be amazed.

This is great when you allow users to Upload files and need to ensure that they fit within a specific set of boundries (ie - uploading banners). Update - Now supports AVI, MOV, MPG/MPEG, and SWF with support from my brother Lucas Moten. JPEG files have also been fixed to read correctly.

Grab the opposite 6 character HEX color. This sums up David Weirs Color invert script with just one line of code. See his original code at http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/showcode.asp?txtCodeId=7176&lngWId=4 Be careful when comming close to middle gray scale (808080). opposites are same.

No need to purchase expensive components. You can do it all with what you already got. This version is an update for faster speed and reliability. Bugs have been fixed, and the entire code has been commented to walk you through the process.
