As soon as IE becomes open source we can start that. Until then, or until IE's market share drops into single digits we're forced to deal with browsers as a given. Besides, much of the visceral dislike for javascript is based on older browsers that were not at all consistend. Trying to write cross-browser IE4-NS4 javascript is often an exercise in frustration. In the IE6 - Moz 1.7 Firefox 1.0x (sorry I'm not a Mac guy so I don't know the current ver for its browser) most problems can be avoided by using DOM compliant code rather than IE specific code. This ain't yer daddy's DHTML.
sorry, i couldn't resist >.<
actually, why don't we address this problem at the source rather than using this javascript patch solution? (at least this is how i see it)
why don't the browser makers build internal mechanisms to allow posting of forms without the need to refresh the html page? why don't we re-architect the browswer and address this problem (and others) at that fundamental level?
is this not conceivable?

have avoided like the plague, has kept building a market despite a
lot
of prejudice from people like myself, not to mention Woodchuck. ///;-)
