That's not a short question, really. And questions don't get any
shorter, or any simpler, just by calling them "short".

press a button and the contents of the two fields would be added

Did you do it? URL? The odds are that it is far more important to
analyze the basic solution than to invent new complexities. So how did
the page look like when scripting was disabled? Let me guess... a form,
with a button, and clicking on the button does nothing? No explanation
anywhere?
>I thought it would be interesting to write an entire calcualtor
(similar to the one that comes with Windows) as an HTML page.
It would be an exercise in futility, since the calculator would be
inferior even to the _simple_ (as opposite to "scientific ") mode of the
Windows Calculator.
For heaven's sake, give it a rest. It's an *exercise*. I'm sure when you
were learning all this, you went directly from zero to major
world-shaking innovations, but most of us go through a lot of
wheel-reinvention and wheel-imitation first. 3  2594

"It"? You fullquoted like a moron, or a clueless newbie.
It's an *exercise*.
So what? It doesn't make it any more sensible, or any more on-topic.
Learning stupid things when you should study the basics isn't a
justification for anything.

I didn't waste my time babbling like that, to be honest. Sorry for
cheating that way.

I didn't say anything about its topicality. As for the issue that I'm
challenging you on, since when is programming a small-scale
keyboard-driven interactive application for learning purposes stupid?

I did. Which part of "comp.infosyste ms.www.authorin g.html" do you fail
to understand? Followups set.

Ever since it started meaning you try to do "advanced" things without
having and without wanting to have a clue of the basics. ObHTML: That
applies to doing silly things in HTML "for learning purposes" as well.

Well, it seems that Microsoft, or whatever powers that be have decided it's
time for us to have yet another standard keyboard layout change.
I think I see that the point of this one was to reduce the space occupied by
the keys on the right, so the reach to the mouse is not so bad, but the way
they chose to do it?
Ah - I see. Since most of what we type will simply be deleted at some point,
let's make sure the Delete key is big and easy...

I've got a very large C# forms app and now that its being used in
bigger environments we're getting a steady stream of "why does it do

keys get passed back to the form. From searching online, this is
apparently by design(for whom, I don't know, why its not optional, I

The main reason you would want to do this is for example to trigger

user gets the PaintHandler to do something else. ...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
