changes in HTML code are ignored by the browser (IE6)

A

aa

When I looked into VIEW-->Source code, the source code shows the result of a
javascript code execution, not the javascript code itself as it is supposed
to be.

"Check for new versions of stored pages" in Internet options is set to
"Every visit to the page".
Temporary internet files have been deleted.

Did I accidentally changed something in my browser settings?

What exactly do you mean?
Do you want to get the *.js file? ....so get it.

btw: Please - do not multi post!

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean by "get *.js file", Jan.
I don't need to get it becase it is already in my PC.
To be more precise, it is an HTML fule containig JavaScript code and I can
view it if I open it in Notepad.

I mean that when I open it in IE6 and then go to VIEW-->Source, I see the
result of execution of the JS code, whereas I am supposed to see the code
itself, don't I ?

I thought you have something like this:

OK.

So you have a html-file with something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("<br>");
//-->
</script>

.... then you see only

<br>

???


I see:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("<br>");
//-->
</script>

Or is your code more sophisticated?

1. "So you have a html-file with something like this:
<script type="text/javascript"> document.write("<br>");</script>
.... then you see only <br>"

Exactly.

2. "Or is your code more sophisticated?"

It is, but code complexity should not be relevant as long as it does not
produce errors.
For the purity of argument, I run <script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<br>");</script>
and saw only <br>
So, what are your ideas?

look at the code in a better browser?

That's my point.
The problem is not with the code, but with the browser.
Either I accidentallt chenged some setting, or, perhaps got a virus - I
expected someone had similar porblem and would suggest a fix

Hywel,
If you have nothing to say to the point, you better indulge yourself into
playng a Victorian teacher elsewhere.
You are clogging the group by meaningless postings.

Hywel,

You are clogging the group by meaningless postings.

Top-posting is enforced in many forums due to the nature of discussion. In
order to facilitate the understanding of the flow of ideas in, say, HTML,
the normal technique is to post in conversational flow and quote only
relevant text.

Hywel's post was not meaningless, it was a very important tip for you to
get the most out of your discussion here. Please learn to see it that way.

Hi, boys.
A lot of people prefer top posting as it alows to read the reply without
scrolling down long thread.
I, however, do not try to impose my preferences on you. Symmetrically, why
should you? If you do not like my top posting - just don't read and don't
reply. Tolerance and consideration - this is the main points of Neticette.
The three of you sent here three messages which has nothing to do with
either my question or the purpose of this NG. Who is clogging?

Hmmm. Sexist are we? There are a lot of girls doing this as well. Many of
them would rip your balls off for that opening.

A lot of newbies are fuckwits as well. Top posting is like walking into a
conversation and shouting an answer before anybody has had a chance to form
a question.
I, however, do not try to impose my preferences on you.

Yes you do. You do it by continuing to top post.
Symmetrically, why
should you? If you do not like my top posting - just don't read and don't
reply.

OK. Fine. And you will rapidly find that everybody who knows anything in
this newsgroup will killfile you. Then what happens the next time you
*require* an answer to one of your questions and *insist* we toppost that
answer? You will remain in the dark.

Insult the regulars: be ignored by them; get answers by the uninformed. Bad
answers.

(There are plenty of other newbies here who from time to time answer
questions. Sometimes they are wrong. They get corrected by those who do
know. However if the thread has been started by some smartarse like you then
those who know will simply ignore it. To your and the newbies cost).
Tolerance and consideration

Oh do **** off with this tolerance stuff. The real world does not work that
way. It's every girl for himself [sic].
- this is the main points of Neticette.

Ah, you must have not read the Netiquette (correct spelling this time)
wherein you are required to respect the posting conventions of the group to
which you are posting, and are required to lurk for a week or so before
barging in with an attitude that would get you arrested on the street, or at
least punched out :)

You are clogging by being such an arsehole!

Usenet, especially in that alt.* arena is a discussion. If you get an actual
answer to your question then that is serendipitous.

<snip>

Why did you not snip all of the rest of the stuff that had no relevance to
your particular post? Wait. I know. You know nothing about Netiquette.

I see you are making a fool of yourself in other groups as well, like
comp.lang.php. Careful, those guys over at c.l.* will eat your arse for
breakfast :)

You had a shot, things were explained, you choose not to honor the
wishes of the group.

*You* asked for help in a group where bottom posting is the norm.
Symmetrically, why should you?

We helped *you*.
