I don't think we need full ajax to manage jquery, and render 90% of the = web pages. Like we don't usually need the asynchronous stuff, as Kevin pointed out. The web page might load a tad slower, but it still renders properly. As for fear, well, if everybody is afraid, or unwilling, or unable, = then I guess I give up too, on edbrowse, which is really my only = standing accomplishment in life, and probably on everything else too. Sure, don't bother with xhr requests, leave 90% of the web pages = inaccessible, and I can use edbrowse to write letters like this one and = that's about all. Whatever. I'll unsubscribe from this list and call it a day. I didn't make any real contributions in math either, or science, nor are my adult children in any way functional, so whatever. > And what are the implications of doing that XHR stuff in = startwindow.js, > rather than native C?

Well we've all been corresponding long enough to know my answer to that = one; do as much as you can in start js: it's about a quarter of the code, more readable and maintainable, and = portable across different js engines, or even different versions of = mozilla. But Adam's answer is different, do more in C, so I don't know, but I = appreciate your offer. Chris, would you rather I, or someone else, took over the official = github hosting and edbrowse.org? I primarily passed them to you because I'm older and will likely die = sooner, but if you don't want them we could transition them back to me, = and maybe another younger person will take them over within the next 20 = years. I don't know - I'm gonna look for some Christmas pie to eat. Maybe = sugar will make me feel better. Karl Dahlke --nextpart-eb-588023--
