And it really Call me silly, but... Didn't a LOT of us move a bunch of code to PHP instead of JS because JS was so flaky, because browser implementations were so... diverse..., because you never knew if the user even *HAD* javascript, really, and you just didn't want to rely on it? Is anybody going to claim that any of the fundamental problems with client-side scripting have changed? Got a bridge to sell, too? If it's just eye-candy, and doesn't matter to the functioning of your web-site, go for it. If you NEED it to work, JS is simply not the right way to go, even with today's landscape. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
