I am building my first personal website and am new to this forum (first post). I have drawn inspiration from different websites and starting from basically knowing nothing about how to build my site I found I learned the most from seeing how other sites are designed and how they function. I am at the point now where I am creating my own deisgns but when it comes to javascript I have hit a wall and wanted to know what the general opinion was about using other sites .js files into your own site. Since I am a beginner I had not seen it as taking someone elses creation if I use it for something that is fundamentally going to be based on my own concept (since the script is not a design which is seen and more of a engine which runs the site from the background). But having thought about it I now am not sure if this is an accepted practice or one that is taboo. I would like to ask for assistance in figuring out some problems I have run into but if my questions are met with condemnation for using another sites .js then maybe I am going about this the wrong way. I would like to hear what more experience people have to say on the matter as they would know better than me. Any advice/opinions would be very welcome.
