Dear subscriber,

Following your request to receive notification when the JavaScript
'No Content' Web site http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/ has
been updated, here are the recent additions.

Recent Additions:
-------------------------

Intelligent Password Verification #2 - Saturday 4th April 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js075/index.html
This article was brought about by a discussion in the usenet newsgroup 
news:comp.lang.javascript about the failings of the previous article 
Intelligent Password Verification. The majority of this rework is down
to Peter Landgren, who took three attempts to come up with a solution
for MSIE 3, but who got there in the end :)

Java Applets #3 - Saturday 4th April 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js074/index.html
Guest Author Dr. Tarique Sani continues with the growing series of
articles on Java. This article *actually* includes some Java code for
the KTN Applet. 

Introduction to CGI - Saturday 4th April 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js073/index.html
Guest Author Jason Nugent returns this time with the first in a new
series of articles on CGI (Common Gateway Interface) Scripts. This
article introduces CGI, the benefits, the drawbacks, and the language
of choice: Perl.

XML - What's in it for us? - Saturday 28th March 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js072/index.html
Written by Guest Author Janus Boye. If you're designing data-hungry
sites, especially for intranets, you should be getting excited about
XML, because in XML, you'll be able to create and respond to much
richer set of data elements. That will in turn let you build more
individualised dynamic sites and pages. For example, your site's users
could access information across databases and types of data without
having to rely on a search engine.

Form -> Email -> Form... - Saturday 28th March 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js071/index.html
For NN4 and MSIE4 browsers, this article illustrates how you can
complete a form and send the data entered via email to another
person, who can load up the email in their browser and actually see
the form as entered. This 'copy' form can then be updated and emailed
to another person, and so on.

Java Applets #2 - Saturday 21st March 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js070/index.html
Written by Guest Author Dr. Tarique Sani. Describes a basic Java
Applet skeleton using the set of methods that provide the basic
mechanism by which the browser interfaces to the applet to control
its execution.

Math functions in JavaScript - Saturday 21st March 1998
http://www.btinternet.com/~martin.webb/js069/index.html
Written by Guest Author Janus Boye. Math is power. So says one of the
many ads on the Internet. JavaScript has the power, to do all functions
that are on a normal pocket calculator, and even a few more.
