Robert, do you find any irony in the fact that it was Netscape
themselves who made up javascript in the first place? Oh well they did
come around eventually and "standardize" it into ecmascript... so I
don't understand your complaint about it being "non standard" :-)
Here's a nice browser history page where you can see that you
are still using six year old browsing technology.. why not upgrade to
something from the 21st century?
