Dom Browser | The DOM Browser is a visual, interactive representation of the DOM (Document Object Model). It's helpful to beginners learning to interact with the DOM in JavaScript. It's also a great tool for side-by-side comparisons of Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other browsers and how they interpret the document and its elements.

Last Modified | When you just can't stand to look at another "Last Updated: Feb 02 1998 14:12:56:10" Script, give this script a try. It'll write to the page in the format, "Last Updated February 2 1998"

Netscape Source Image | When visitors using Netscape right-click your web page and select "View Source" or go to the View menu bar and select "View -> Page Source" the entire source code of your page is displayed. Interestingly enough, it's possible to actually insert an image into Netscape's view source page instead of just having text. When Netscape users view the source of your page, they see an image as well as the source code! Your image could tell the visitor that they are not allowed to view this source code, for example.
New Links | Displaying links as new for a few weeks after adding them is great. But, adding, removing, and updating that "New" icon for each link is pointless! Let JavaScript do your work for you! Just add a small code (less than 40 characters) next to each link with the date you want it to expire, and it will automatically display the "New" icon until the expiration date.
No Right Click | (4.0+ browsers) Ever wanted to prevent users from borrowing images from your site through right-clicking them and "save image as..." or right-clicking the page and viewing your page source?

Page Viewed Date | This JavaScript will write out when the page was viewed, according to the visitor's clock.

Title Bar Typist | This script types a string or series of strings into the Title Bar.
Top Alert | If you want to show your visitors how long they have been on your page but don't exactly like those clock displays, then you might like this script. When the visitor leaves or clicks the button, they are alerted to the time they have been on your page. Many times, they won't even expect it!
