You can find a brief description and the aims at this page. http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=JSTL The article is entitled "A new language for designing web pages ". I think the title says it all. I didn't read further than the title ! As you may know JavaScript was developed by Netscape Corp. specifically developed for the construction of web pages. JavaScript was designed so that it can be intermingled with HTML , furthermore it can be used to create full-function stand alone applications. JavaScript can do the following :- - Animate graphics and text - to a limited extent. - play sounds; - have better control of the display of windows and frames; - check information entered into forms , and give your readers instant feedback. SOME TIMES IGNORANCE IS BLESS!!! if you know your facts. Regards, Zahid Rahman INDIA 1-2-3 ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
