And JavaScriptãis used in Synchronet for much more than just HTML generation, but gettingãfamiliar with JavaScript is a good thing, for sure, for any Synchronet sysop.ãã digital manããSnapple "Real Fact" #84:ãOysters can change genders back and forth.ã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

I like the JavaScript Bible as a ãstarting book myself...ããJS Bible: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764557432ã note: don't bother with the "Gold" edition, the beginning chapters inã that version are only on the cd, get 5th edition, and if you want more,ã get the gold edition then..ããAlso a really good javascript documentation is the MS 5.1 docs for JScript,ãwhich is essentially the same thing, with the exception of the ActiveXObject ãthat is MS specific, it's probably the best reference for JS imho.ããhttp://www.theroughnecks.net/jsdoc.exeã Yeah, it is windows only, I think there is a CHM viewer for gnome now,ã but not sure how hard it is to get working. MS combined all the scriptã help into one big help now, this version is from before the merge, itã is generally really easy to find what I am looking for in here.ãã-- ãMichael J.
