Solving a Sudoku puzzle with JavaScript

Although I build this many months ago when I got bored, I didn’t publish the Sudoku Solver. I was just interested in how fast JavaScript could do this, and if I had the skills to code all the logical things.

The solver doesn’t solve very hard Sudokus, but many puzzles you’ll find in newspapers he solves in just a second or two. If you have some tips on how to solve this faster, or better, please leave a comment here.

Also mention this is not a best practice project, the JavaScript is not optimal and is embedded in the HTML document instead of doing this unobtrusive.

During the building of the solver, I also found another Sudoku Solver with even more solving methods and some great options. I also found a Sudoku Programmers Forum, but the more of the things discussed there I didn’t understand.
