My view is that they show only be used for applications when that application is going to be used by someone with a trust relationship to the application provider. For example when using Peoplesoft at work it makes sense, since I trust my employer to not be trying to hack my work desktop. I think using javascript for pages meant to be used by the general public is a bad idea. It encourages people who don't know better to enable javascript for general browsing, which signifcantly increases the risks to them for having credentials stolen or their desktop hacked. Instead things should be done server side, with style sheets or xforms. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
