Yes, it's not the language per se, it's the cruddy document object=20
models that are objectionable. (Find myself strangely reluctant
to use the acronym).

Fr'instance: IE 5.5 and later support "location.href(blah)" for some=20
strange reason, as well as the standard "location.href =3D blah".
Why the hell someone would use the IE only variant, I have no
idea - anyone? And yes, I'm taking on a site that uses it. Grrr.

Just don't get me started on the underlying database code...
