Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.89.1i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all. I've been coding up a prototype "FreeBSD Project Database" page, and I'm seeking opinions on if I should use Javascript.. Javascript lets me do some handy error checking on the client side before requests and such get sent into the database server, as well as opening up some better design possibilities... I'm concerned however that the use of Javascript will limit the number of people that can use the site. Opinions? Is *everybody* using Netscape now, or do a significant portion of people still use lynx or something without Javascript? (I know I use Lynx quite often, but when there are forms involved I generally use Netscape anyhow - which is what got me thinking about the Javascript stuff.) -Mark -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Win95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition. -UGU To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
