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>
