Re: JavaScript nonsense

Hi Paul,

Couldn't help but throw in my 2 cents agreeing with you, AND just to add one 
point.

1- Combine free JS with FREE PHp4 and see how those servers run.

Nice soapbox, btw.

Happy Holidays!

JS is a great tool if you know how to use it. Doing things on the Client
side saves web traffic, cuts down on Server overhead and makes it all run
faster.  It is also free!!!

This is a tool that independant developers need. Why throw away a great
capability?  It's the only logical choice out there for  many small things.

Many web-shops use it and real JS programmers get paid almost double
what a generic webmaster is worth.

Lets STOP telling people to turn JS off.  In many Netscape versions turning
JS off kills CSS. On many websites, turning JS off makes the menus useless.
It is used on many websites for some nice DHTML features that could only
otherwise be added by expensive server side programming.  Grumble mumble....
