I have a page that gets loaded with a meta-refresh hardcoded so that a
few things on the page get updated. its kind of a fake chat board.
anyway, what I need to do is turn off the meta-refresh once someone
clicks in a <textarea> to enter their input; otherwise the refresh
catches them in the middle and messes up the focus.
I need a way to turn off the meta-refresh, or to force the
cursor/focus to stay in the message input box once they click in it
and start typing.
I've tried:
<p class=small>Ent er your new message:
<br><textarea NAME=NewMsg rows=2 cols=60 wrap=virtual
onClick="window .location.reloa d(false);"></textarea>
<br><input TYPE=submit value="Post Your Message" >
but this actually forces a refresh onClick ?!

it will only not work at all in non html user agents such as X-Smiles

Depends on what you call `work'. It will not work in Mozilla/5.0 and
IE 6 *as* *assumed*, because those user agents don't care what version
you specify there, they execute that code anyway. On the other hand,
IE 5 (which I can't test here) won't execute code that is within
language="JavaS cript1.3" (or greater) as stated by Richard.
it's a DOM object, although in effect "all" UA's less than 5 years
old support it.
Before the W3C-DOM (October 1998) there was no idea of a DOM, and what we
call host objects of a DOM now were previously part of the core language.
No they weren't Microsoft has always considered them distinct,

it was only Netscape documentation that didn't. If you look at the CLJ

09-Oct-1997.

Read again. I create a new property for the `window' object and assign
the result of window.setTimeo ut(...) which is in fact only an integer.
Then I can use that property value as argument for window.clearTim eout(...)
without any problems. I could use `foobar' instead of `window' and it
will of course still work as long as `foobar' exists.
Please name such a UA!
The `onload' attribute was introduced in HTML 4.01, so

No, Please name such a UA,

This is false by definition, there *must* *be* UAs supporting only HTML 3.2,

Why? You have been asked to cite a (any) Usenet standard that will
support your request and so far you haven't, and your argument to date
seems to hinge on stressing the word "line" in "attributio n line". If
line means CR (&/|) LF terminated sequence of text I could make the
above into one line by just setting the margins in my news software to
110+ characters and apparently satisfy your criteria. I can see no
reason for doing that as the chances are that it would still be viewed
as two or more lines in most newsreader software, and even your 24
character attribution of me might be displayed across two lines if the
recipient had their viewing window set up sufficiently narrow (granted
that is unlikely).
You might just as easily stress "attributio n" and consider what is
required to attribute. You and I may be using identifiers that are
unlikely to be confused with others but in the UK the name John Smith,
for example, is sufficiently common that one individual using that name
would not necessarily be distinguishable from another without an
accompanying email address (even if fake). And if you are going to say
that some individual wrote something it has got to be worth saying where
they wrote it, for which the message ID is probably the most
discriminating identifier available.
I can certainly see grounds for commenting on excessive (and irrelevant)
content in "attributio n lines" but if you want to take the term that
literally can you justify loosing "attributio n" for the sake of "line"?
<snip>The whole point is that I check the variable/property before I
am accessing it in the window.clearTim eout(...) call.
Reasonable, but that could still be done with a typeof test.

Why? You have been asked to cite a (any) Usenet standard that will
support your request and so far you haven't,
Grepping through the RFCs I have found no standard that supports that, but
that is not important at all. Parts of Son-of-RFC-1036, e.g., which one day
may *become* only a *draft* (maybe in this millenium ;-)) are already obeyed
by NetNews software, and RFC 1036 which an important base of NetNews calls
itself `Standard' but is not even on the IETFs standards track. Sum: Not
everything must be standardized to be reasonable and therefore acceptable.
and your argument to date seems to hinge on stressing the word "line"
in "attributio n line".
No, re-read my answer(s). It hinges on the easy readability of a posting/
thread which is a Good Thing. Header information included in the attribution
line that may be *someday* of use for *someone* doesn't compensate for a
more difficult following of a discussion, mentally ignoring superfluous
information when reading *now*.

No.
That is not true.
I know, because `window' is the global object here -- as tests with
Netscape 3.0 to 7.1, IE 6 and Opera (all under Win2k) have proven.
But can you name a user agent where the global object is _not_ `window'
_and_ provides $globalObject.s etTimeout/clearTimeout?
<snip>ACK, but `typeof' was implemented in JavaScript 1.1.
And fortunately JavaScript 1.0 environments are no longer in use.

Please stop wasting lines saying this, thanks.Depends. As stated before, `window' and its properties are

So that would be relevant to precisely one user agent? (Netscape 4).
Generally we try and talk about all ECMAScript implementations now
