I don't agree. In certain situations where the same goal is trying to be accomplished, like deciding which font tag to use based on browser type (or something along those lines), server side scripting is always more reliable. The point is doing something that can be done either server side or client side. 1 server side) You know 100% what your web server can do (or your should), the client has no choice but to accept the data you send to it. 2 client side) On the other hand, a client side script trying to do the same thing NEVER works 100% of the time. This is true because I guarantee you that at least 1 person/browser in the world has that specific client side scripting language turned off or not in use. My rule is when doing something that can be done either client or server side, always default to doing it server side because it gives you greater compatibility, thus reliability. -jeremy Jeremy Brand :: Sr. Software Engineer :: 408-245-9058 :: jeremy@nirvani.net http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more Get your own Free, Private email at http://www.smackdown.com/ ---- "World domination through Yahoo Replication" ---- ---- -Liz Patterson http://www.geekchix.com ----
