Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	I'd suggest JavaScript. Pros: JS needs no plugins. It is easy to learn. No complilation needed, interpreted plaintext code. Lets you interact with the Document Object Model in an easy way. Runs entierly on the client, doesn't matter which server you have. The syntax is similar to other languages. etc.. Cons: Differences between browsers, JavaScript (or JScript if you're coding for Internet Explorer) is based on ECMAScript and each browser has its own implementation. The DOM in each browser is different, which makes cross-browser compatibility an even bigger issue. It's slow compared to compiled code. Is usually confined to the browser. But JScript can be run on servers supporting ASP. JScript can also be run in the Windows Scripting Host. Users can disable scripts, you might lose a lot of functionality unless you think about that. etc.. I suggest you check out the DHTML/Javascript section here and the FAQ. There are many tutorials/reference documents available online, I recommend reading a lot while studying other peoples' code. Just remember that functionality comes first if you think about adding something just because it looks cool. Then again, do it the right way and your visitors just can't be without that special feature enabled by your scripts. /TwoD Loading...
