AndyG_ns._construct();

This is my own (compact) JS library which contains a variety of methods - cookies, (fast) sorting of tables,paragraphs, etc., highlighting rows, moving elements up or down, converting strings to dates, updating a clock etc.. Include the library and add a JS line such as 'var adg = new AndyG_ns.ADG_Utils();' to access the methods.
The ADG_Drag class is not mine - if anyone knows the author please advise me and I will acknowledge. Andy.

A compact, versatile library
