RE: [PHP] PHP_SELF

Weeeellll...besides your everyday, run of the mill geek who hates Javascript pop-ups, who really disables JavaScript? 95% of the users out there don't ever touch the default browser settings. Also, the Javascript 1.0 has been around since, what, Netscape 2? It's all you really need for form validation. Even IE3 supports it pretty well. All the version 5 and 6 browsers support it, and that's 90% + of the market. The biggest issue is the AOL browser, which is rather finicky. It can be done, though. It's all a matter of opinion I guess. :) - Erik > -----Original Message----- > From: Ryan Fischer [mailto:ryan@gigabee.com] > Sent: Monday, July 30, 2001 5:48 PM > To: Erik H.
