Personally, I do not have a clue why colleges push java script. For I like perl, cgi, and php better. I suspect it was because Netscape came up with it, and it has the backing of the Microsoft people. I've seen many computer science classes migrating to Visual C++, Visual Basic, html/java script, and they are not teaching just regular c classes in Unix any more. The professors at my school said it was because the Microsoft compilers and MS stuff was easier to teach. That's because programmers in the Windows world love to draw all the objects, and slap in some code, and they think they are good to go. ----- Original Message ----- From: Janina Sajka <janina@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 10:44 AM Subject: Re: Web Browsers with Javascript? > I keep wanting to understand this.
