The embedded Google Doc provides evidence that I can create Javascript driven websites. The examples below contain screenshots and the code that I used to create applications with Javascript and JQuery. The first project is an online chat room and the second is a ToDo list using Javascript. The third is a tab based web application with different Javascript and JQuery functionality for each tab. Additional comments and explanations are provided in the Google Doc.
