I agree with you on all points here. Note that it's not that JavaScript in itself is dangerous so much as JavaScript in conjunction with a browser security hole (like the one that's discovered next week, or next month or next year). The one thing that's made me stick with Internet Explorer rather than Firefox is the "Security Zones" feature of MSIE which allows me to let only selected web sites to run JavaScript. Firefox has this kind of feature for image loading, cookies and pop-ups, but not JavaScript... yet. I'm hoping it's available in the next version :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
