Most DB questions you see here come from php problems...or people who don't realize 'proper mailing list conduct'. But the OP stated that he knew it was OT, and decided to ask here anyway, instead of on a JS mailing list, or going to Google (I say this, because five minutes after his original post he posted back that he found the answer) > I am probably like most PHP developers, with a very weak knowledge of > Javascript, and while that makes the question "feel" like being > off-topic, I'm not sure it should be.

Most PHP developers I know, and have worked with over the past 6 or 7 years have a pretty strong grasp of JS, but that doesn't change the point. I know quite a few on this list come from a Perl background, but it would still be bad form of me to pose a Perl question to this list. > Only abuse occurring here, IMHO is the content police's treatment of > Josh.
