Interesting that not all browsers support vbs!

I built my website using Frontpage because it shipped with my Office 
2000 Developer Edition. I switched to using ExpressionWeb when M$ offer 
a cheap upgrade for FP users. (This has also been deprecated, and v4 is 
available free since there's no longer any support for it!)

I recently moved my website to a newer server (same host but 1/3 the 
annual cost) from an older 'legacy' server where I was making use of 
Frontpage Server Extensions. This, of course, was deprecated circa 2002 
and is not supported on the new server. I thought I'd have to implement 
some js to substitute the FSE features no longer available. I managed 
to replace my webform/webmail stuff with Perl scripts, though.

In my research I ran across Dojo. This is a heavy duty js package that 
also makes use of JSON and Regex. Older versions of the Dojo package 
apparently required lots of js scripting over what they're calling 
'Modern Dojo'. As far as I could see they're are millions of web 
developers using this stuff.

I also looked at Wordpress but passed since I like a WYSIWYG editor UI. 
I went with the newest version of EW since I'm familiar with it. Don't 
know how much js WP uses, but I suspect plenty since html alone can't 
do much of the features it offers.

I still have some js in place for parsing values passed in a URL. It 
would be nice, though, if I could replace it with html somehow!
