Script does not work!

S N · May 2, 2004

I have inserted some javascript on an asp page.the script is for attaching a
tail to the mouse icon on the screen.
When the asp page contains -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
at the top the javascript does not function.
When I remove this string the script works alright.
What is the problem?
Please advise.

This is not an asp issue (you would have the same issue in an htm page would
you not?). Please post to client-side newsgroup.

See replies in asp.db.

I agree that this is not connected to databases or asp engine. But since it
was an error in an asp page I had posted in this group.
Please advise me on the name of a client side scripting newsgroup.

microsoft.public.scripting.jscript would be a good one to start with.

But microsoft.public.scripting.jscript is about JScript and not javascript!

javascript!

Can you please explain the differences in JScript and JavaScript as they
pertain to client-side script in a browser?

In other words, you can do what you want to do using:

<script language=JScript>

or using:

<script language=JavaScript>

So your argument is moot, and still does not make *THIS* a better newsgroup
to continue this discussion.

If you can't, someone in *THAT* newsgroup is in a better position to tell
you so than someone in *THIS* newsgroup.

Please pursue CLIENT-SIDE issues in CLIENT-SIDE newsgroups. Pressing the
issue here is only going to frustrate people further and cause you to be
ignored.

Newsgroups have names for a reason: to keep discussions on-topic. If you
keep doing what you're doing, we should all subscribe to a single "web
development: come one come all" newsgroup.

JScript are JavaScript are to all intense purposes identical. At least I've never found a reason to
believe otherwise in 7 years of scripting

Here's are the non-EMCA compliant features of JScript:

I wonder why Regular Expressions are on that list. They are clearly part of
ECMA-262v3.

I think it's the implementation that's non-standard. For example, the whole
intrinsic global RegExp object is non-standard. And moving the lastIndex
property to RegExp makes the Regular Expression objects non-standard. I
imagine this could be problematic if you are working with 2 re's at the same
time. Here's a link to the ECMA standard.
