OT--best forum for client-side issues?

[middletree]

I have a very tough issue I'm looking for help on re: javascript/css. I see
that MS has groups with HDTML in the title, but there are quite a few of
them, and they don't seem to get updated very often. At least not compared
to this ASP group. Anyone know which one I am likely to get some help on?

..scripting.jscript
..scripting.vbscript - IE only
comp.language.javascript - you're not restricted to microsoft newsgroups

 

[middletree]

thanks.

Actually, I am restricted to ms newsgroups while here at work.

 

[Jeff Dillon]

Keep in mind that you can always use groups.google.com.

But no, it doesn't provide FULL access to ALL groups, for those ALT inclined

[middletree]

I could, but those posts take hours to get replies, sometimes.

Once I get home, I'll post my question to comp.js, but was hoping for an
answer while still at work.

 

[Jeff Dillon]

Yes, but you can always search immediately for similar existing posts. Works
for me 80% of the time, then I post, and possibly wait.

I seriously doubt anything like what I have is going to be searchable. Very
unique problem

 

[Jeff Dillon]

Which begs the question, did you even try?

Yes. I've been working on this problem for days.

So you searched Google groups? You never really answered.

"once I get home, I'll check"

So you been at work for days, without going home, and without newsgroup
access??

no wonder...take a break!!

 

[middletree]

I did a search for hiding divs, but did it on the Macromedia and other
client-side groups to which I have access. I dont' have access to to the
full Usenet, so I hadn't been able to do a search on the comp.javascript
group yet; I'll do that tonight. But I don't think it will do any good. The
problem is not knowing what to do. I am seeking help with an extra pair of
eyes to see where I'm missing the place in the code where I need to make a
change.

Keep in mind that you can always use groups.google.com.

Not if your company has URL filtering and considers Google Groups a chat
forum instead of a useful research tool. (Do I sound frustrated?)

It might help if you actually asked a specific question.

It might help if you actually asked a specific question.

My specific question for this forum is does anyone know where I might find
an appropriate forum to help me with my question, which has to do with
client-side code. I don't dare actually ask that question here, as I'll hear
about it in ways I'd rather not.

I was able to get some help on the Usenet group, comp.lang.javascript, and
the particular piece of code which caused the problem was identified and
subsequently addressed. I not only fixed the problem, but leanred something
about javascript that I didn't know, and which I was able to use today to
solve yet another problem. Knoweledge is good.

 

[Jeff Dillon]

Fair enough. Now care to share?

Have you tried groups.google.com to see the thread?

Why? It's not relevant on this group. I found the thread he was talking
about via Google easily enough. Wait. Here's a link:

What is the purpose of your post? It's not relevant here. This is a
client-side issue.
