+===== Using javascript to change the display =====
+As an example of using javascript, we will see how to output the document filesize in a human readable form. For example, instead of displaying "834716 bytes", it will display "815 KB".
+A basic javascript method to do this is the following:
+<code>
+function humanReadableFileSize(bytes)
+{
+    var filesize = bytes + " bytes";
+    if (bytes > 1048576) {
+	filesize = Math.round(bytes / 1048576.0) + " MB";
+    }
+    else if (bytes > 1024) {
+	filesize = Math.round(bytes/1024.0)+ " KB";
+    }
+    return filesize;
+}
+</code>
+So, we have a javascript function, but how do we get it into the page?
+Displaying human readable filesize.
