I've been learning and using Javascript for a couple of years now and I think it's a really useful language. But why, when I utter the word 'JavaScript', do children in far away lands shiver? I can't understand what the problem is with it. I know a few people on this forum don't like it, so now I'm asking...no...CHALLENGING you for a reason. Have you ever used JS before?

I'm not even going to bother mate! I have 14 apps running at the moment on this 333. Linux is holding up surprising well though, but even the almighty penguin can't work miricles!
I think Snuggly said I crashed his PC when I got him to go to this thing I made:

It draws my mates face from this photo where he was being sick! If it gets too slow though I'd get out of there pretty quickly.

Not to mention slowing any PC <333mhz almost to a halt.
ZP's trick can be done using timeout() functions, but it's supertricky and won't work in NN. There's no reason for that amount of text that he can't just use an image swap with an animated gif.
Sorry. By "CSS", I meant using it to set backgrounds, hide text, alter individual properties of tables etc... Defining styles such as A:hover and font: are all fine, and I've done it in all my sites.

Wait, you say stay away from CSS? OK OK I know there's some crap CSS out there that isn't compantible with everything and is quite frankly annoying (e.g. changing the colour of the scroll bar), but surely CSS, when used how it's meant to be used, is an extremely useful way of designing a site?
See the difference here: if you want your site to use the Arial font instead of Times New Roman, then wrapping everything in tags is incredibly messy! Simply put body {font-face: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif} or whatever in a CSS file and then it changes the font for the entire site. Even better: if you ever want to change the font/background-colour/anything else for the entire site, simply modify that *one* file and it will all change. Nothing wrong with CSS.

What trick did ZP want?
I've never used them, but I know how to use frames, layers, JavaScripts, XML, VML and HTA.
Don't dis layers! Check out my old homepage, http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.whiston it uses looooads of layers, but they work well. Most of it works in Netscape - I never got round to making it totally compitable, but it all works in IE>
