But there's no applet involved at all! Apparently all the
"regular" button do is fetch an URL <g> Dropping to external
editor (hitting F4 in Arachne), and replacing the buttons
entirely with two simple links do the trick just fine:
>> <input onclick="location='daftarkan.html'" type="button"
> value="SETUJU">
>> <input onclick="location='/'" type="button" value="TIDAK
> SETUJU">
can be replaced with:
<a href="daftarkan.html">SETUJU</a>
<a href="/">TIDAK SETUJU</a>
Which when clicked, expands to (respectively):
http://www.plasa.com/freemail/daftarkan.html

"Weeell.. I don't think so, it doesn't looks like Javascript

(Seriously, it could be either bad practice or an emerged common
practice, as it's uncommon nowadays to browse the web without IE
or at least NS ;-)
i.e.:
* Can you read any InformIT ebooks with Arachne?
http://www.informit.com/
* Can you unsubscribe from any Backwire list with Arachne?
http://www.backwire.com/popup/signin.asp
* Can you use any major web-based e-mail with Arachne?
http://www.hotmail.com/
http://www.usa.net/
http://www.mailcity.com/
[insert more]
* (the list goes on and on... )
Hint: It is possible to compile the following object-oriented
interpreters even in real-mode MSDOS environment:
* Perl
* TADS
* Inform
... it's should also be possible for Javascript.
IMHO, what needed is just an open source version of Javascript
interpreter (anyone know such?). Porting is always more feasible
than reinventing the wheel.
