I am confused. Earlier someone said that JS should only be used for nicities
which might not be available without loosing functionality
what sort of calculation a function is going to do? Some time ago I used JS
to calculate and recalculate the sum of the PO (just to prevent a possible
outcry from html-for-every-possible-DIYbrowser purists, the site was selling
office luxtury items and the research indicated that 96% were executives fro
selling departnebts with IF and Netscape, so the decision was made to go for
JS and nobody regreted this thereafter)
You do not mean such functions, I guess?
