I agree, I'm not having a dig at their site at all - I still use it as
quick ref. If your mom is designing web sites then I'd expect her to
have visited that site at some point. I suspect most moms with
internet connections are NOT designing web pages however, so will
never visit it.

Doesn't make it any more relevant.
practically nobody LOL.

Yep. 1 million = 0.3% of all web users. Even if it were 100 million
that would only be 33% of all users, still not a realistic sample.

This is a good point, but still doesn't validate the stats. Yes
clearly there are a large number of users with Alexa + visiting this
particular site; however both samples are so small you can't really
expand that to represent all users.

I don't advertise any of my sites, anywhere, apart from the handful of
posts I make in here. You post a lot more than me. Plus, sites like
BSJ are less than 6 months old, and completely empty at the moment.
Hardly a surprise :)

Actually a really good argument! I don't disagree.

While I don't trust W3CSchools stats at all, I do think it is
representative of a general trend (but this is based on dealing with
1000s of users, not just stats). I don't trust anything Alexa says at
all, period. I think that most people have JS enabled, and Flash, and
in actual fact it's niche markets that have it turned off, which is
kind of upsidedown (in a good way, at least for people like me).
I would just argue - be careful what you project for a stats from
market specific sites or other commercial services.

:D aww he's so sweet hehe
It is interesting though - I'd love to see where Alexa really get
their stats from, as it is a conflict. Common sense tells you that
very few people outside of designers and the HTML-curious are likely
visit this site, or any other tech site.

I know the history. Note the capitalisation of both LiveScript and
JavaScript.

Yep. What does that have to do with it being called JavaScript rather

Yep and there still are.

"Based on". As usual these standards aren't worth that much; they're
just guidelines after all.

Proove it. You call it that, nobody else is. I supplied you with 10
current examples. Match it, or admit you're wrong.

It's not relevant, I cited all the official examples and you still
think you're right.

Nice argument, but not the case. I'll wait for you to post some
examples.

I know. You were the one who said 90% of sites would disappear, not
me. A lot of sites would BREAK. Nothing would disappear.
