Should I be Reading This?

This Tutorial is provided for Site Administrators and Developers (or anyone else) wanting to add functionality to a bitweaver Powered Site. A User on a bitweaver Powered Site would find little to interest them by reading this Tutorial.

Liberty Data Plugins

There are many types of Plugins - but in this Tutorial - the word Plugin means a Liberty Data Plugin.

Your Intorduction Seems a Bit Vague!

I like Feedback! By allowing others to know what I'm doing - and comment on it - I find that many of the uncertanties I feel are addressed and answered Before they can become a Problem. That is the reason behind the ProposalPage-Plugins. It is a listing of pages for Proposed Plugins. In this Tutorial we are going to create one of those Plugins.
The Proposed Plugins is named EyeCandy NeonText and was originally described on the page PluginProposal-EyeCandy NeonText. Much of that description is repeated in this Tutorial.

The Basic Idea

I wanted a Plugin that would add some Flair to a page. I did a search and found 2 code snippets that would meet my requirements. Those were:
  1. It would have to have Cross-Browser Support
  2. Unlike most JavaScript files - Nothing would be added to the Head Section of the page.

I found 2 ))DHTML(( Scripts at <http://www.dynamicdrive.com> that met those requirements and were similar enough that I thought I could combine them into a single Plugin. They are:
  1. Neon Lights Text <http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex10/neontext.htm>
  2. Neon Lights Text ))II(( <http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex10/neontext2.htm>

I hope that you've enjoyed my little Tutorial.
The Next Step is the Tutorial - Liberty Plugins II
Good Luck - StarRider
