Ok, I have another form to write, and one of its features will be pop up
or drop down select-from-list stuff.
Could be done with javascript, could be done with <SELECT>
<OPTIONetc etc..
It will have to have an onselect() anyway, but apart from a better
control of appearance, what other pros and cons are there?
Coding it up looks a shade simpler in HTML rather than script, but thats
all I can see...

Onselect is not a vaild attribute for a select element, it is for input
and textarea elements when some text in them is selected:

Using HTML ensures it will work in a greater range of browsers and those
with script support missing or turned off, though you may wish to
augment it with script to provide a better UI for those that have it
available and turned on.

Mm. I can specify what browsers - as long as IE6/firefox/safari/opera
work, thats ok..
I was more thinking of speed issues..

IE6? Hmmmm :) And what if scripting is disabled? The question isn't
"what browsers will it work in?", a better question is "where will it
potentially break?"
I was more thinking of speed issues..
Speed of coding, display, maintenance, selection, or ...... ?

I have a problem with performance in IE.
The script above works quite fine when the table has a small number of
elements, but, when the table has 2500 elements, when I click in the
checkbox of the table header (to select all the checkboxes in table),
the script demands at least 3 minutes to execute. I tested the same
script in Mozilla and the response time is much more faster. Does
anyone has an idea?

Hi all,
My first posting here.
I would be very thankful for a general advice about which "way to go"
to accheive a certain arrangement on a web page.
The page should show a list of items (a wishlist) with about 50 - 150
items, presented each one in a row in a table with e.g. 5 columns.

Hi, all
When I do as the following, it becomes a GET action to the the server. How
do I make it as a POST action? That means I don't want the string after "?"
show on URL bar and, to the server, it can follow POST function to get the
data passed in. Thank you very much!
window.open("../../Server.php?"+xsValue, "", zNONHTML_STYLE);

Or... when is a script not a script?
I have several modules for managing different aspects of our club's website,
most of which are multi-page.
Does setting such things as server.ScriptTimeout or response.buffer values
at the start of the first page persist throughout the session, or are they
"reset" with each function or sub, etc.?
TIA.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
