That's what we need more of in Discussion threads, actual discussion. Simply voting -- doesn't lend anything to the topic. In the midst of various opinions and ideas is usually a good compromise and solution.

I agree that a home node is a personal space, per se. But, it can be exploited. I don't want to check out someones home node (like a new users) and have a barage of windows opening, or be stuck in some Yes/No dialog box loop. Or have someone setting cookies, etc... We have various privileges at certain levels, and maybe using CSS and JavaScript should be privileges. I still think anything like Java apps or ActiveX should be disallowed. Use those things on your own pages off of this site (IMO).

Let's keep the charm, but keep down the (possible) harm.

Cheers,
KM

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
