Gordon - I discovered an article on JavaWorld that really helped me out
today.
Are you the same Gordon McComb that writes articles on there ?
Just curious !

Frankly, I'm surprised any JavaScript code from that era still works.

Wow - you are truly a renaissance man!

Well - the code *I* was looking for still works! I have a client who needs
very complicated form validation and I used your suggestion of using the
Submit() method instead of onSubmit() and it did the trick! onSubmit() was
not working as expected.

Thanks for the blast from the past!

Understatement. Do a search on *ALL* of the books that Gordon has
written.




Re: OT: article on JavaWorld by Gordon McComb ?


Dan, A Web search won't find them "all." Like the one I wrote for
Testor's on building plastic models. But hopefully some of these books
have provided needed help.

I've noted this before, but thought this would be a good time to repeat
it: I'm semi-retired from book writing, and in fact the latest (third)
edition of Robot Builder's Bonanza was written by another author. I had
zero input on it. I've not even seen a printed copy yet.

Instead I'm working on other interests, including a top-secret project
I'm working on that's better than books. I'm beefing up my robot page at
http://www.robotoid.com/ . The revised version of the site is still in
progress, and I'd like to invite link requests and short articles for
inclusion on the site. (I have a section called User-to-User for people
to share their robots and ideas.)

One thing I am not going to do is a YARF (Yet Another Robot Forum). I
figure besides CRM we have enough of these already.

Top secret! I guess.

Most of those pages vectoring off the homepage on robotoid.com are
empty. Darn ;-).
