re: Please don't listen to the folks who recommend using java script!

Although this site is about Perl, we all have to realize that it's not always the 'best' solution to a particular problem. We have to use what is best suited for a particular task.

I really don't like when someone say's not to listen to someone simply because they disagree. Let's keep our minds open and take advice from all, even those who we don't necessarily agree with.

Personally, I would have gone for the javascript solution only because I know that the clients we support here are javascript enabled. However, if I am pointed to a better solution, I keep an open mind am likely to use it if I deem it appropriate.
