function string2Bin(s) {
  var b = new Array();
  var last = s.length;
  for (var i = 0; i < last; i++) {
    var d = s.charCodeAt(i);
    if (d < 128)
      b[i] = dec2Bin(d);
    else {
      var c = s.charAt(i);
      alert(c + ' is NOT an ASCII character');
      b[i] = -1;
    }
  }
  return b;
}

function dec2Bin(d) {
  var b = '';
  for (var i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
    b = (d%2) + b;
    d = Math.floor(d/2);
  }
  return b;
}
