Let's read what we both said.....

you said:
The example you've given uses Java, client-side.
JavaScript could do it, so could VBScript, so could Flash, so could
[insert server-side language here].

You imply that each of these can do it by themselves. That is the
"could do it, so could" part.

I replied
Actually to "duplicate" that page you can not use server side
scripting. Key word being "duplicate" you can make something that
functions equally as well (or better as it would function on more
visitors computers)

This also implys "by it self. Which you agree. Server side scripting
can not duplicate this by itself. I even stated that if you used only
server side script and made something with similar functionallity it
would actually work on more visitors computers.

So learn to READ before you make an ass of yourself. My "What ever"
comment was to save you from looking like an ass, but you couldn't let
it go, and now you look like an ass.
