Wow - that's very exciting. I always thought Javascript on the server was a good idea, but after Netscape's server folded it never really got picked up by anyone else. Javascript is a fantastic language - excellent OO and functional support, familiar syntax, and there are a lot of developers (now) who understand it's intricacies well. Dossy I assume nsjsapi is in cvs? I'll go check it out. -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
