And even if this is not allowed, are scripts that rely on some framework allowed? As it is now, I have a library of functions, which makes some things easier to do, but picking out just the functions needed for a certain snipper, just to make legal to submit might be too much work. (The library functions are collections of functions, like array related functions, DOM related functions etc, and they depend on each other to some degree)
If it's a related library, that's fine to submit all at once. Otherwise, you can just post them on your site and I can download individually as I post them or you could just send them to all at once (via an attachment -- we could discuss) and I could post them that way. We have a section for snippets on the JSS site. The idea of having them separated (unless, as I said, they are related), is that someone can grab the one they need without having to download a lot of extra code.
Maybe at some point I could make a PHP or Perl validator, to run and see what old functions, properties, and methods are used that are deprecated or broswer specific. This would be fairly easy, and I would make it in an external text file or two, so that you can add thousands and change 'librauries' when needed to update it. But I'm not sure if I'll remain active on this forum... don't want to get tied up either in projects when my time is mostly full atm.

This whole bit of JavaScrript seems rather pointless to me when you could just use <label for=""> and an id=""
Was it really 2003 I joined these forums. And they still almost look identical! I think a new website design while we're talking about things to fix and improve. Yes I know Lee I'm off-topic - nooo dont attack me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :D
yeap. And the eval() there is medieval :-)Quote:

Meant the JavaScript source site. Sorry my fault for confusing things!
The scripts section of the site (JSS) has been re-designed. I am in the (slow) process of moving them all over. I had started another thread for updating scripts. If you see any you want to update, just submit them over there and I'll give you credit. (BTW, we can always use freelance writers over at WebReference.com ... and we pay!)
Many of the scripts posted are for demo purposes, to teach, and also to help solve problems in general. There are also some older ones that I need to remove. I have also had many coders tell me they also use the site for inspiration for their own scripts, and that they sometimes gather snippets of scripts to use. Also, sometimes, people can't use server-side languages.
As to it being pointless, sometimes there are many different ways of accomplishing the same thing. For instance, to place the date on a Web page, we could use JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Java, ASP and several combinations. So which one is pointless?
Well that very much depends if you want the local or server date.
Let's assume you wanted local - then say there was a <date> tag in HTML6 and that tag worked on 98% of the major browsers and produced the same output and JavaScript only worked on 90% ? Then it would be pointless to use JavaScript for the same effect, as well as bad education to encourage people to do it that way when a simple/valid HTML tag would produce the same output.
On the flip side - using JavaScipt to display the server-time would also be pointless.
I do however agree with your point of it being a good code snippet for demostrating how to control form fields via JS as part of a larger project.
Yes, you're right. I was just making a general point. Yes, the date tag would be a nice addition.
So, should I wait for your scripts/snippets? ;->
Hmph fineeee I suppose i had better submit some things then!

raju_bhatiya, what Gavin is saying is don't highjack the thread. You'll need to open a new thread in the proper forum for your question.
ythamwong, this really isn't the topic to post questions. Posting a new topic in the JavaScript forum should get you more answers.
