Why waste time with trolls such as Richard Cornford.
If your impression of Richard is that he is a troll, then your
impression of Richard is not very well. I don't always agree with what
he says. I read it with an open mind but he tends to be more theoretical
than I care to be about scripting. But he is far from being a troll.
I have actually read every article in this thread, and even some of them
twice.
Me: One can only aspire to such heights that one's scripts will work
in all browsers. That's why you post here, isn't it?
RC: No it isn't.
That is one thing I totally agree with. The pedantic issue aside that
you can't write a lot of dHTML scripts to work in "all" browsers because
it's impossible - some browsers just don't have the mechanism to do it.
But, I don't post here in the attempt to make my scripts work in all
browsers. I post (and read) here in an effort to do two things:
1) Share what I do know so that other people can hopefully gain from my
headaches of beating my head against the wall to get something to
"work". The site it references is no longer up but there is an old
thread in c.l.j along the lines of "dynamically loading js files" where
I was attempting to load a .js file on the fly.

Geez what a URL.....
In the end, I knew I couldn't make it work on "all browsers" but maybe
the attempt helped someone else.
2) To learn. There are still things about this language that I don't
know/understand but I read/post here in the attempts to learn more. Its
all about the learning process to me (mostly anyway).

Can anybody tell me how to find out who I registered the DNS with for
www.hikksworld.com so I can change it to point to my new IP Address? In
my infinite wisdom, all of my records were on a PC that crashed when I
moved.
