I thought they were completely different things. Surely javascript should be seperated from the rest

Darned good point, folks. I'll see what can be done about starting up another sub-forum.
Thanks. |

No need to create another section for JavaScript itself. This section doesn't have to deal with how they work or are used. If it has the word "Java" in it, let it be part of this forum.

All very good points. But you must remember that this is Trap17, not astahost. Astahost is more computer oriented and therefore have more specific subforums. The same reason why they have actionscript and we don't. We just don't have enough members into programming to make it so specific. If we had as many computer related subforums they wouldn't be very full.
But I do suggest that we take javascript out of this subforum and rename the AJAX one to Javascript/AJAX. It fits better in that one. |

We should add Java coffee to this subforum. It would fit in just right. We could rename the subform to "Terrible things that nobody likes". Ah yes forget my original plan of putting javascript with ajax. This works much better.
