Since you asked for some theory... theorically, you won't rely on

Note: you may use JS to make things quicker if possible, or to
pre-digest the data, but you shall not rely entirely on JS.
You misunderstand my question. I know the limitations of javascript.
The server won't respond to events registered in the browser. I write
tons of forms that are all processed
by the client with javascript. I have written ferocious regex filters
that hack apart form submissions before they even leave the client. I
have set it up so if the client doesn't
have javascript enabled, the form won't submit if it is going to the
server. That is why as much as possible I shift form processing to the
client as much as possible, for
security and to off load work to the client. I use php to dynamically
write js files when necessary, anticipating what data will be
requested.
This is a problem that is more a matter of programming theory. I have
posted to javascript forums and lists and have never got a response.
I will be applying this to dhtml which the server won't and can't do
but may help things along with Ajax.
Just a simple suggestion about how to reorder arrays if you have a few
words and suggestions. I'm not looking for free training.
I have been learning and using php and javascript for some five years
and have developed my own approach to testing and debugging
and such. So I am not really a newby. I have made the dumb mistakes of
asking for help from forums and lists when it was just a dumb
syntax error that I couldn't expect anyone but my self to find, which i
have in 99.9% of the cases. Some times it is nice to get some
quick help from a list and I will try to return the favor when ever
possible to the next person looking for help that I have some answers
for.
You say that not all browsers support the javascript functions you
pretend
'scuse me, did i "pretend" to use something??
to use, and that not all them support Ajax either. That sounds just
like saying that not all browser will have javascript enabled --that's
why you shouldn't rely on javascript
Although, this isn't a javascript list, why don't you send whatever
you were trying to solve this issue? the code that uses JS functions
not supported for all the browsers that will potentially run the
script (as well as what these browsers are) Most likely someone will
be able to help you this way.
Thanks for the attitude.

Hello;
i'm scratching my head with a difficulty.
The situation is this.
A script begins with one indexed array (not associative) and one
other indexed array
with the same values in a different order, the final order.
I want to create an interim array and progressively re order the
array until it matches
slot for slot one of the original arrays. At this point the script is
considered completed.
One important factor is that I'm looking to write this in javascript
and the interim
array will be altered by the actions of a web page user.
Why am I asking the php list? Because I have a better chance of
getting an answer
here. I'm not looking for help with javascript, specifically, just
how one would go about
this task. Answer with php code and some theory if you wish and I
will try to translate
it into javascript.
Some javascript functions I might use aren't supported in all the
browsers that will
potentially run the script.
I might resort to using Ajax and let php keep track for me. But, then
again not all
browsers will do the Ajax either (as I understand it).
