Do you guys have any scripts that really make your life easier? I don't mean some daft scrolling text, but ones that are pretty helpful. I got two.

Well, "useful" is kind of subjective, but these are pretty popular, I guess:

Wouldn't it be better to use server-side style switching? Seems like the better choice to me.

That Javascript enables a user to change the style sheet on the fly without page refresh. I use it for things like making site text bigger/smaller instantly. I'll post a link to the site I'm working on when it's done.

Right. Didn't think about that. Fair enough.

I've been mostly using jQuery for my javascript lately.

I sometimes use this for a "Printer Friendly" button. A user can punch it and it will strip the images and junk. It is one of my fav JScripts.

You should use a print stylesheet for that - not JavaScript.

Exactly. You save yourself so much time (and bandwidth) doing it this way.
