I've used this method:

that can deffinitely be done


Great, do you know how? I've googled away on this, found several people asking the same question, and those same several people not getting an answer. The tutorials are great but what I really need is someone who knows more about it than me and can address this specific question.

I'd like to use a regular expression to parse some HTML. Given:



I want to match (for replacement) the quotes around Joe and News but not the ones inside the tag. Any of you regex whiz people know how to do this?

You can't use the navigator object to find out if javascript is disabled. If scripting is disabled, javascript doesn't run. I've seen some sites that setup stuff like:

but sometimes it looks clunky as the 1st page flashes briefly.
See:

for how to do this (IE only)

Might try something like this:
<form action="whatever" method="post">
<input name="cb1" type="checkbox" onclick="forms(0).cb1.checked=defaultChecked">
</form>

Can anybody told me how to make checkbox group non-editable.
I have a view option in my project so i don't want user to modify that checkbox group which i had already selected.
I had tried out with this "readonly=true" and "onfocus=blur()",but it will not work out.
Thanx

Angela, You can make text (intead of images) appear on mouse over. Takes a level 4 browser, though.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Since I'm the one who did most of the rework (under Paul's direction), I'll try and answer some of the questions that have been raised.

Omitting the width tags on the tables will allow the pages to expand on higher resolutions (above 800x600 - the design point) but won't do anything for lower res because the menu images won't fit anyway; you'd still have to scroll horizontally. For consistency and readability, I prefer having things as fixed on the pages as possible. And most people find large blocks of text easier to read if it doesn't spread too wide. Obviously, the trade off is vertical scrolling but you've got that anyway because of the amount of stuff that Paul has to say on each page
Yes, the menu thing is done with javascript using mouseover events but there are no "sneaky tricks" that defeat browser caching. I can connect via 28.8 modem and quite painfully notice when things don't cache! There was a problem with the script working properly in Netscape but I have corrected that. Thanks for pointing it out.
As for pre-loading the images into an array, a quick look at the javascript source will show that this is exactly what is being done. I have tested this by starting with a cleared cache and disconnecting the modem before rolling over any images and it works fine.
We looked into server side processing and I agree that it may have been a better solution but apparently Paul's web provider does not support what we wanted to do. Paul could comment on that angle more as he talked to them, not me.
