Ok. I write most my web apps in php. I rarely will use js for anything, but I needed it on this rare occasion. I didn't want to have to post to the same php page to get the results to change, so I though a little js would do the job.
Being a php list, I thought that a few others would have run into the same issue while doing this. Would it have made it better if I talked a little about the php work that was being done on the page also? All this is doing is making me like php less and less. And what about the newer users to the list? This also makes me not want to answer other peoples questions either. I've also noticed that a lot of answers to peoples questions get flamed on this list also. It's like you think you're better than them and came take them down for whatever reason. Yes, the question was OT and I knew it. Yes, I found the answer via google 5-10 mins later. I had already searched a while before for it. And I'm not going to go and get on a js list for one question I may have once every 3 months. I figured someone here has ran into the same situation before. Especially since type casting is a common thing among most languages (even php). All I have to say is, sorry I asked. I really wasn't worth it. -Josh On Tue, 03 Aug 2004 13:09:19 -0500, Alex Hogan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have been on a number of lists over the years, as what ever technology > I'm using at the time has demanded. > > I would have to say that this list is one of the most curt and > condescending lists I've ever been on.
