Thanks iPokemon for letting me know about this.

I have uploaded the file to my host and updated the first post.

pixeldepth.net/proboards/profile/PB_Profile_lib.js

Thanks

We should expand it. Hasn't been updated since 2006. I bet there's some nifty features that could be added.

EDIT:
By the way, I've never used OOP in JavaScript. Is that really how you make classes? Just use functions? I thought it was { and }.

If there are some features you would like to add I'd be willing to help out.

@classes: There is more than one way to create classes in Javascript, and I've found it best to use a combination of them. I personally use the method Peter used here when I'm basically creating a library of functions, and I use JSON when I need to group related data and functions together and only need one instance.

You have to create an instance of the class when you prototype it as you can see below. This allows you to create more than once instance as well which you cannot do with JSON.

var PBProfile = new PB_Profile();

JQuery is a good example of how to use classes.

I would like to see textarea capabilities.. if possible.

so if i wrote a code with this it would start with

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pixeldepth.net/proboards/profile/PB_Profile_lib.js">

or
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
do such and such;
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pixeldepth.net/proboards/profile/PB_Profile_lib.js"></script>');
//--></script>

"When script or style data is the content of an element (SCRIPT and STYLE), the data begins immediately after the element start tag and ends at the first ETAGO ("</") delimiter followed by a name start character ([a-zA-Z]); note that this may not be the element's end tag. Authors should therefore escape "</" within the content. Escape mechanisms are specific to each scripting or style sheet language."

Wait, what? This has always worked for me when I do remote files that need variables to run..

'Authors should therefore escape "</" within the content.'

<\/script>

From the page posted by Peter:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
document.write ("<EM>This won't work</EM>")
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
document.write ("<EM>This will work<\/EM>")
</SCRIPT>
