Here are the basic rules you should commit to memory and never forget:You can *always* use javascript code within webcatalog templates -- because webcatalog processing is done on the server, and javascript doesn't even start processing until the browser receives the page -- which of course happens long after webcatalog has finished rendering the page on the server.But that does NOT mean your javascript code is going to work with all your visitors, because every visitor has the ability to turn javascript OFF in his browser, which means your javascript code will absolutely *fail* to do what you may want it to do on those visitor's browsers.So if you want a solution that's going to work every time, with every visitor, you won't even think about using javascript unless you also code a standard HTML solution into those javascript-enabled pages -- to give your NON-javascript users the functionality everyone else has simply by leaving javascript turned on.And don't expect all the free javascript examples you find on the net to work properly either, because often they do not work as advertised ... even if the browser has javascript turned on.Now let's get back to discussing webcatalog and webdna coding, and move the javascript discussions somewhere else, thanks ... :)================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
