Collision detection between a line and a circle in JavaScript

Question

I\'m looking for a definitive answer, maybe a function cos I\'m slow, that will determine if a line segment and circle have collided, in javascript (working with canvas)

If you are asking how, that's how: Finding collisions in JavaScript is kind of complicated.
