in thread Calling a perl function from within a javascript function

My map fits the vertical length of the screen already, and thers about 100 sectors so theres no room on it for text. I'm using gd.pm to shade the map.

I dont understand what you mean by "there is no Perl". Is there not a JavaScript equivalent of perls get function. If there was, I could have the perl script print out the town names, and this would be received by the JavaScript equivalent of get().

Maybe I'm missing something here, I started Internet based programming less than a year ago so my knowledge is patchy to say the least.

    In that perfect world where we all live together in perfect harmony, the sky is always blue, the grass is always green, and VB never came into being, yes, there is a JavaScript get() function.

    In the really real world, though, such a thing would be considered a munition. Your browser could be commanded by a third-party to do whatever they choose, such as probe sites with IIS attacks, send files from your computer, or just cause general mayhem (i.e. DDOS).

    There is no "get()" function, no.

    With a little creativity, though, you can swap images in a clever way to simulate animation and/or server-side loads. Check your JavaScript reference on how to do this, because this is clearly not a Perl question at this point.
