test my VIN decoder

I have been wanting to learn JavaScript and I chose a VIN decoder as an exercise. I took the VIN info from the FAQ here at A4.org (compiled by Jay Fleming) and wrote a simple decoder.<p>The decoder uses HTML frames and JavaScript, which I think means that it will only work for version 4.0 or above of the two major browsers. If you are using an older browser, then this won't work for you. I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks under MSIE either.<p>Sometimes during my testing it doesn't load one of the frames properly. This can usually be fixed by reloading it.<p>Please try it out and let me know if it has any problems. This is my first real attempt at JavaScript.<p>Press the button below to start the decoder. It will open in a new window.<p><form><br> <input type=button value=" VIN Decoder " onClick = "window.open('http://members.aol.com/drewinva/audi/vin/decoder.html','decoder','status=yes,resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes,height=400,width=600');"><br> </form><p>Good luck!<p>- Drew S.<br>

Nice Job

Look out Microsoft!<br>Your decoder's pretty slick. Now if you can get some advertising banners to fit in your frames you can start generating some revenue. Then you'll be thinking like an Audi owner.<br>Question: can you write JAVA script for my A4 chip so that my A4 will be like KIT in Night Rider, only better looking with better traction?
