Paul's Web Design Pages 

A selection of material from a magazine series I did in the mid-1990s on HTML, JavaScript and anything else web-related that came to mind at the time. Some of it's pretty old, and some of the off-site links no longer work. The basic stuff's still valid though, so if you need a quick reference to IE4 light filters you've come to the right place. Just think of it as a nostalgia piece!


Cookie Libraries Yes,  they're back! These javascript functions make it easy to create and access browser cookies from client-side script code. Updated version.
