YuanQing,

>>JavaScript isn't Java, but I think the above illustrates the kind of problems you run into when you try to use one tool to solve all your problems.

>>Java---and JavaScript--- have their place, but you run into all kinds of problems when you ask either or both to become a kind of universal tool that can do anything.

Sounds like the Windows environment as well. Of course, Microsoft is attempting to make it even more difficult by coming up with their own standards for Java and everything else. The example seems like it is more a problem of Netscape not supplying a built-in function that is equivalent to one in ActiveX. Windows does not supply the priority-based queueing mechanisms I am used to, so does that mean Win32 is inherently a loser? No, it just means they did not provide for such things.

Cheers,

Norm
