I used to share that opinion until I read the book "JavaScript: The Good Parts" and worked with it for a while. Now I find JavaScript to be a very good dynamic language. I really like its object model, first-class functions and use of closures. Of course I'm not talking about the JavaScript DOM library that varies a bit across web browsers. I use jQuery to avoid touching the DOM directly. -- R. Mark Volkmann Object Computing, Inc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
