    "Get a clue!"... friggin priceless.

    Because Microsoft is trying to push MVC for web development doesn't mean it isn't a good paradigm to adhere to. Your data source should be just that... a source that provides data. Your UI widgets should be just that... blissfully unaware GUI objects. Then you have the "control" mechanism which takes data from the data source and loads the widgets, takes the changes from the widgets and passes them back to the data source.

    Also, how in friggin gods name is a server side include a "security risk"? So all of the billions of successful, well designed websites that are stupid and insecure, just because you say so?

    I suppose next you ask me what the hell DOM is and what it is good for...

    It DOES break the fundamental user model of a web page. Even now. If your content is related as such that one page can't work without another page loaded, then they should all belong to the same page (even if that means using server side includes). If they aren't so twisted up that the pages can work independently, then throwing frames around can cause such headaches as function/class name collisions... that is unless your pages are "aware" of one another. Then you are killing the MVC model.

    Either way, don't do it.

    Easy for you to say. Regardless the "protection" I have in place via the Family and Medical Leave Act, my boss will make sure I am unemployed if I don't work like a rented mule.

    Do NOT give me the "Then get another job" speech. I don't have the income to support the family I have without a job more than a month. I refuse to gamble with the well being of my family. Right or wrong, that is the situation, and I am not even close to the only person in this position.

    Well, I could be oversimplifying it, but lets take the following scenario... I sit down at my home in the US, run some scripts, hack a Chinese government computer, brag to my friends, etc... Someone from China's government calls someone here in the US, they track my ass, throw me in a detainment cell for an indefinite period of time for being a "terrorist".

    'Whether you agree with Sun policing it or not, Java compatibility has served us all very well for over a decade,' Phipps wrote.

Adobe does not an WILL not sell Photoshop 4 (official reply "... is no longer supported, therefore is not being sold ..."). And "The Learning Company" DOES NOT hold copyright to these works. They bought overstock in bulk and sell them for a pittance IF you can even FIND THEM (Look at their website...
