This article brings together the last few articles, to produce a page
that shows all data regarding any date entered: full date, age, events, 
birthstone, Zodiac star sign, Chinese year, lottery numbers and random 
colors. As an added extra it also includes images of birthstones, zodiac 
star sign and the animal associated with the Chinese year.

Extending "Born of the 4th of July"
Friday 26th December 1997

This article describes how to merge all the calendar events and holidays 
calculated in the three different articles 'Born of the 4th of July', 
'Easter' and 'The 3rd Saturday in November' into one object array. We
will also show how to sort the array in JavaScript 1.1 browsers, and
how to simulate an array sort using linked lists.

Arrays, Object Arrays and Sorting

This article shows how to sort arrays using the JavaScript 1.1 array
sort method. It also describes the different options available during
sorting, and how to sort arrays for browsers that don't support the sort
method, or where the sort method does not work correctly.

Bug Watch:
-----------------

Although the site is crafted with care and attention, bugs have, and
do continue to slip through.  Especially on browsers that I cannot
test on.

If you find any bugs in any of the articles, or in the site itself
please report them, you are not only helping yourself, but every
other person who visits the JavaScript 'No Content' Web Site.

Beta Testers:
-------------------

If you are familiar with my site you'll know that every week I release
a new JavaScript article for web authors.  I'm finding it more and
more difficult to be able to test the scripts on the wide range of
platforms and various versions of JavaScript.

I'm looking for some beta testers who'll get early an early view of 
articles, perhaps in draft or uncompleted form, but with the
JavaScript code complete.  This work will be unpaid and voluntary,
but you'll receive some form of recognition via a beta tester list
on the site.

If you are interested in testing out scripts please send me an email
with details of your operating system and browser to
martin.webb@btinternet.com. I'll then provide you with a *password*
which will enable you to view the beta code/articles.
