<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A lot of the "bugs" and confusion I've seen in
the last few weeks/months could have (in theory) been ameliorated somewhat by
a good code-checking routine -- either as an on-line service, or as a
downloadable utility. I for example use a hodge-podge of JavaScript,
PHP, and HTML code which would probably send most simple code-checkers
screaming out the door. IE and Netscape/Mozilla are kind enough to let
you know when your code is completely whacked, but their notion of
line-numbers and originating module names are pretty hilarious -- plus they
don't do concordences, and they always crash at the first fatal error --
rather tedious when you have 1,417 of them.</FONT></DIV>

help us feebs get a grip on our code before harassing the bulletin board with
our diverse lack of insight?</FONT></DIV>
