you weren't told to do anything. it was an fyi that there are other ways of doing something. > ...And in this case I could > change the code to use what you suggest, but then I would have to sit there > and test every module within the framework and who will pay for that, will > you pay for that! i wasn't saying 'go over the whole codebase and replace document.all'. I was implying that whenever you're coding in a section that has document.all, you could replace it there. you'd be testing that module, right? > Like the earlier posts on upgrading of CF5.0 to CF MX..

Sorry but I have never stated this. I'm actually in your camp on this one - it's usually a business decision that the developer has no control over. as a developer, you take what you're given. > The point is unless the poster asks for best practices, no one should come > back and say that this is not the way you should be doing it, because that > would be assuming that that person had control of it too start with. or, you could just be stating facts without making any assumptions. i.e. document.all IS microsoft code, and getElementById IS the better way to do it. a simple statement of fact - without assumptions - you can take it or leave it. > I pity your employer, because I know that you'll be costing him a lot of > money to develop things that he never wanted done!! Now that's an assumption. not a very good one. Can we just end this by saying that while it's good to offer additional information on a problem, not everybody wants to know about, and it won't apply to everybody..?
