These are some of the reasons: - some IT departments do not allow JavaScript (Active Scripting) for security reasons - my applications should work with the most common browsers (e. g. I use Firebird with JavaScript turned off) and there are big differences between several browsers so it's not THE browser model - I don't want to mix user interfaces with application logic What do the others think about using JavaScript in J2EE applications ? Is it 'allowed' ?
