could re-create them? Here's a utility that saves you the pain and
suffering known as JavaScript coding. El Scripto adds a handful of

scripts almost as you would a component. El Scripto is useful for
creating pop-up windows, for example, or for creating menus that let
your visitors select an area of your site and jump right to the page.
You can download a free, limited version of the utility, called El Scripto Lite, at
