Redirect: Re: sigh...trouble with mouseover graphics...again..

	   ***Do not respond to this on the list, please.***

Shalom, again, guys,

As you know, I am Deborah Adelman, the list guide on duty today, for 
-graphics. I need to tell you that discussion of JavaScript is generally
off-topic for the -graphics list. Only in cases where the scripting is
being used specifically in relation to web graphics is it on topic for this
list.  Discussion of JavaScript coding, associated coding problems, browser
recognition, etc., are not within the -graphics' charter. Please do not
post any responses to this thread. 

Continuation of this thread should take place via private e-mail or on
the -languages list. The -graphics list is intended for discussion of
graphics creation and the associated applications and hardware used in the
process.  The full charter is available at:

http://hwg.org/lists/hwg-graphics/index.html.

The Guild mailing lists, in most cases, are topic area specific & we'd
appreciate your assistance in keeping our lists on target for their
charters.  Details on the charters for all active lists can be found at:

http://hwg.org/lists/mailinglists.html#active.

Consultation of these charters when posting is appreciated.

This thread is being redirect to -languages where discussion of
programming and scripting lanagues are on topic. If you wish to
continue this discussion, please do so on that list.  Subscription
information for -languages can be found at:

http://hwg.org/lists/hwg-languages/index.html#1

Thank you.

Deborah S. Adelman
List Guide, -graphics
