[Javascript] Form focus

[Chris T]

No, Server-Side JScript is fairly robust actually. I think most people KNOW
it as a client-side language, but you can do plenty server-side, or even
though the Windows Scripting Host. If you don't know about WSH, check it
out. Very powerful stuff. Of course, this is limited to PC'ers...
