OK if I asked the question "how do I do type casting in Cobol?", would you 
agree that it is OT? Cobol has nothing to do with the zend engine, Javascript 
has nothing to do with the zend engine so where' the relationship with PHP?

I would have thought links and forms were more common. Anyway you're missing 
the point, the question was OT, period. It was not asking about interaction 
with PHP, it was a Javascript question, pure and simple. Comprendez?

OT questions come and go, they are asked and get answered, but what is 
annoying is the weak justification given by the OP for something that is 
blatantly OT. Hence my rebuttal.
