I agree with you Dieter, but dont agree to use closed Microsoft specific extension to JavaScript. I think this is why many people dont like JavaScript, because there are many sites that always tell us:
"You dont have MS IE installed Please download the it!". But this is not a valid reason to tell that JavaScript is not fair. Javascript is just a language to embed into HTML nothing more. But if you got into the close web of Microsoft in around JavaScript, then we will lose. I never hear someone telling that C or C++ even Java is not a good language just becaused they are closed to MS. This is ridiculous! But you will got into the MS tramp if you use the libraries (or sometimes called "extensions) of the specific language. There are many JavaScript libraries that works fine in Netscape or Mozilla compatible browsers. That means that are not tied to a specific browers or company. I hope you can got my point about that.
